Features of the style of Rostislav Boyko by example of the cycle “Winter Morning” on the poems of A.S. Pushkin
Abstract
This article examines one of the bright and original works of Rostislav Boyko – a cycle for a mixed a cappella choir “Winter Morning” to verses by A. S. Pushkin, in which the main features of the style of the talented Moscow master are reflected in a concentrated form: the subtlety and originality of the creative idea, the depth of thought, the significance of ideological concepts, always combined with the vivid figurative expressiveness of music. Based on the analysis of this work, the work highlights in detail such issues as the interpretation of the poetic text, the structural principles and interpretation of the musical form, the dramatic development of the choruses of the cycle and their dynamic profile, means of expression, in particular, the intonationmelodic and ladoharmonic language of the work, its textural organization. The author’s attention is also focused on identifying the distinctive features of the composer’s writing, his musical thinking, style and creative method.
