Biblical texts as a source of East Slavonic sacred song tradition
Abstract
The purpose of the research. The study highlights the influence of biblical texts on the development of the East Slavonic sacred song of the end of the 17th – the early 21st century. Research methodology consists in a combination of historical, cultural, textual and analytical methods that allowed to find out specifics of perception of biblical and evangelical texts of the East Slavonic sacred song tradition of the end of the 17th – the early 21st century. Scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in Ukrainian science the influence of the texts of Holy Scripture on the development of the East Slavonic sacred song tradition from Baroque to contemporary was highlighted. Conclusions. Biblical song became popular in the end of the 17th century as a kind of Psalter songs and songs in hymnographycal texts. In Moscow state Biblical songs (New Jerusalem songwriters, Simeon Polotsky) were cultivated, at the Ukrainian-Belarusian lands they were unknown. Biblical poetic paraphrases in East Slavonic sacred song repertoire are presented by poetic paraphrases of Song of Songs of Solomon and the cycle of ten biblical songs; last work appeals to Eastern Christian hymnographycal genre of canon and therefore is unique in Western Europe.
