Interpretation of the cosmos in instrumental the instrumental works of Valery Ermoshkin
Abstract
The article analyzes for the first time the works of the contemporary Tomsk composer Valery Yermoshkin about the cosmos. Being a conductor and arranger for the main long-term activity, the musician shows the gift of the composer in instrumental and theatrical music. The relevance of the article is connected with the recent anniversary date – the 60th anniversary of the first human flight into space. Paradoxically, this significant event for humanity has not yet received its musical embodiment. The article interprets the figurative content of the works, draws analogies of musical portraits of space heroes with the composer’s ideas about them. The author of the suites seeks to reveal the movements of their souls, as well as to convey the dreams of ordinary people. In the analyzed compositions of Valery Yermoshkin, there is no special pathos and pathos, at the same time, the suites intended for performance by the chamber orchestra have a stronger impression on the audience.
