THE IMAGE OF EVIL IN PETERIS VASKS’S INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

View through CrossRef
Настоящая статья посвящена образу зла в инструментальной музыке Петериса Васкса. Несмотря на то, что композитор не считает сферу негативного своей, он ищет способы ее отображения в музыке. Данное обстоятельство обусловлено тем, что одним из главных посылов творчества Васкса является понимаемая в религиозном ключе идея победы добра над злом. Негативные образы композитор скорее изображает, поскольку музыкальный материал, несмотря на экспрессивность, «формульный» и не способен к существенной трансформации. Переходя из сочинения к сочинению, он становится символом, который не «воплощает», но обозначает. This article is dedicated to the image of evil in Peteris Vasks’s instrumental music. Although the composer doesn’t consider this sphere familiar, he is looking for ways to represent it in music. This is due to the Christian idea of the victory of good over evil, which is one of the most important ideas of Vasks’s oeuvre. Vasks’s methodology of representation of good and evil is based on the ontological distinction between the two phenomena. Negative images are rather ‘pictured” than embodied. In spite of expressiveness the music material of non-good is like a formula and incapable of essential developing. In the process of creation of negative images Vasks permanently quotes his own works. That makes the music material a symbol, which cannot embody, but only designate evil.
