Description

The purpose of the article is determined by an urgent need to comprehend the creative work of I. Shamo as a phenomenon of national cultural scale by identifying and comparing genre and style dominants and characteristics of national and style determinants of the Ukrainian composer’s art. The research methodology is a combination of analysis, synthesis, historical and chronological, culturological and musicological methods used to create a holistic picture of the phenomenon of the diverse musical heritage of the Ukrainian composer I. Shamo. The scientific novelty consists in building an effective model of the creative personality of the Ukrainian composer I. Shamo, the author of the anthem of Kyiv, which reflects the mixed and impulsive, mosaic expression of the master’s creative interests at different stages of his life. Conclusions. The study shows that there are close interrelations and mutual influences between different types of I. Shamo activities, and in the model of the composer’s universalism the transition from one genre to another is carried out by smooth flow-modulations. The genre and style panorama of the composer’s musical work covers numerous and various manifestations – from song genre, romances and opera to chamber-instrumental and symphonic works, which became popular not only in Ukraine but also far beyond the national cultural space. Reconstruction of the genre and style diversity of the musical creative work of I. Shamo gives grounds to state that, constantly fuelling the master, the folk melody ensured its effectiveness and viability, suggesting certain concepts, images, and even spheres of feeling, determining the choice of style guidelines, genres, and musical and expressive means. Combining deep national and stylistic traditions, amazing melody, bright harmonic colours, multi-faceted creative work of I. Shamo, among other things, became an important milestone in the formation of the national composition school in Ukraine in the 50–80s of the 20th century.
