Sufi theme in the vocal heritage T.Z. Shahidi
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the modern Tajik composer Tolibkhon Ziyadullaevich Shahidi, whose name is known far beyond the borders of his homeland. Despite the performing popularity, the vocal work of T. Z. Shahidi has not yet received a comprehensive understanding in domestic musicology, which determines the relevance and novelty of the proposed work. The focus of the authors is on the vocal works of T. Z. Shahidi, written in different years: the cycles «Poem of Wanderings», «Good to You» and «Times of Contrast», the poem «Hafizname», the romance «Devouring Time». It is shown that they find a multidimensional implementation of the theoretical principles of Sufism, its leading ideas and symbols. It is emphasized that the composer, genetically related to the religious and philosophical world of Islam, succeeds at different levels (poetic, figurative-compositional, intonation, genre), masterfully synthesize the traditions of the musical cultures of the East and West.
