Composer’s work with the text In M. Tariverdiev’s vocal cycles on poems by B. Akhmadulina and M. Tsvetaeva
Abstract
This article discusses fascinating vocal compositions by Soviet composer of Armenian descent Mikael Tariverdiev (1931–1996): vocal cycles based on poems by Tsvetaeva and Akhmadulina written in 1957, 1971 and 1986. The main purpose of the article is identifying the unique techniques of the composer’s treatment of the original text. The poetic and musical language of their compositions has not yet been the subject of dedicated research. But performers are increasingly keen on this repertoire, incorporating it more often into their concert programs. The study applied lexical and syntactic methods of parsing the artistic text, as well as comparative analysis and musical-analytical approach. These compositions revealed Tariverdiev’s established methods of working with poetic originals that helped him to carefully interpret brilliant poems and, supplementing them with new semantic nuances, make them the source of his “musical poetry”.
