На создание произведения композитора вдохновил православный праздник Покрова. В его основе лежит легенда о явлении Божьей Матери, спасшей греков от нашествия сарацин в Константинополе Х века. Религиозное чудо побудило Дж. Тавенера написать грандиозную фреску из восьми частей, связанную с житием Богородицы – от Рождества до Успения. Тембровым олицетворением главной иконописной фигуры пьесы стала виолончель, солирующая на протяжении всего сочинения. Сопровождающие струнные инструменты рассматриваются автором как продолжение её «бесконечной песни». В отечественном и зарубежном музыкознании «Покров Пресвятой Богородицы» Дж. Тавенера ранее подробно не изучался, что предопределило актуальность представленной темы. Цель статьи: проследить воплощение сакрального содержания в музыкальном тексте произведения на разных уровнях – образно­эмоциональном, композиционно­драматургическом, стилистически­языковом, пространственно­временном. Композитор назвал «Покров Пресвятой Богородицы» «лирической иконой», продолжив серию своих «звуковых икон» (оригинальный тип композиции в творчестве Дж. Тавенера, напрямую соотносимый с понятием иконы и характеризующийся религиозным модусом содержания – результат многолетних духовных поисков музыканта). Как показало исследование, в сочинении нашли отражение характерные черты этого типа композиции: опора на традиции византийской гимнографии, символизм мышления (тембровый, пространственный, числовой), клейменный принцип композиции, методы репетитивной техники, симметричность строения тем, обращение к средневеково­ренессансным полифоническим приёмам организации материала, экстатичность образов, жанровость. Драматургия цикла основана на контрастном сопоставлении музыкальных образов Богородицы – страдающей Матери и Царицы Небесной, через призму восприятия которой проходят основные евангельские события.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article is devoted to the issues of musical and non­musical content in the composition for solo cello and string orchestra “The Protecting Veil” (1987) by John Tavener (1944–2013). The creation of the composer’s work was inspired by the Orthodox feast of the Intercession. It is based on the legend of the appearance of the Mother of God, who saved the Greeks from the Saracen invasion in Constantinople in the tenth century. A religious miracle prompted J. Taverner painted a grandiose eight–part fresco related to the life of the Virgin Mary – from the Nativity to the Assumption. The timbre personification of the main iconographic figure of the play was the cello, which is a soloist throughout the composition. The accompanying stringed instruments are considered by the author as a continuation of her “endless song”. In Russian and foreign musicology, the “The Protecting Veil” by John Tavener had not previously been considered in detail, which predetermined the relevance of the presented topic. The purpose of the article is to trace the embodiment of sacred content in the musical text of the composition at different levels – figuratively­emotionally, compositionally­dramaturgically, stylistically­linguistically, spatiotemporally. The composer called “The Protecting Veil” a “lyrical ikon”, continuing his series of “sound icons” (the original type of composition in the work of J. Tavener, which is directly related to the concept of an icon and is characterized by a religious mode of content, is the result of many years of spiritual search by the musician). The study showed that the composition reflected the characteristic features of this type of composition: reliance on the traditions of Byzantine hymnography, symbolism of thought (timbre, spatial, numerical), the branded principle of composition, methods of rehearsal technique, symmetry of the structure of themes, appeal to medieval­Renaissance polyphonic techniques of organizing the material, ecstasy of images, genre. The drama of the cycle is based on a contrasting juxtaposition of musical images of the Virgin Mary, the suffering Mother, and the Queen of Heaven, through the prism of which the main evangelical events take place.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Джон Тавенер</kwd><kwd>«лирическая икона»</kwd><kwd>«Покров Пресвятой Богородицы»</kwd><kwd>современная английская музыка</kwd><kwd>духовный минимализм</kwd><kwd>сакральность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>John Tavener</kwd><kwd>“lyrical icon”</kwd><kwd>“The Protecting Veil”</kwd><kwd>modern English music</kwd><kwd>spiritual minimalism</kwd><kwd>sacredness</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Басс В.В.
