Kuznetsova S.V. 1
1 Moscow State University
The article is devoted to the first part of the Sviridov’s tetralogy, so-called myth of Russia. The author analyzes the image of the “native land” as the most important archetype of Russian national consciousness and its reflection inside the musical heritage of G.V. Sviridov. The article considers melodic, harmonic, stylistic, genre and compositional characteristics of the “Poem...”, by means of which the composer displays a deep metaphysical context of his musical masterpiece. Investigation of the relationship of music and literary texts of the “Poem...” allowed to detail a certain image of Russia in each part of this «Poem». Its development is driven by a clear architectonic structure of the musical composition. Along with this, the article contains analyzis of intonational original compositions which helps to reveal the author’s concept: the epochal achievements in the fate of the Motherland as the inevitable trials and the way to transforming Russia.
