CHILDREN'S CHOIR IN RESPECT OF THE ASPECT OF IDEAS ABOUT THE PHENOMENON OF CHILDHOOD

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study children's choral singing as a reflection of the phenomenological principles of childishness in musical creativity. Methodology of the study consists in the application of comparative, aesthetic- cultural, historical methods, as well as musicological and analytical approach, which form a unified methodological basis. This methodological approach allows revealing and analyzing the model of the children's choir as a separate significant artistic and cultural phenomenon aiming at finding a dynamic view of the further development of this type of creativity, its new dimensions and means of self-realization of young people. Scientific novelty of work involves widening of understanding of the phenomenon of childhood in the art and musicological aspects. The children's choir is presented as an artistic and cultural phenomenon, not only embodying high artistic tasks, but also influencing the fluid processes of "adult" art and culture. Conclusions. Comprehension of the historical development of paradigmatic ideas about childhood and childishness and their projection to the musical, in particular children's choral creativity, give a new starting point in the perception of this type of creative expression as a specific holistic "cathedral"-personal, musical-aesthetic, artistically playing and spiritually educational phenomenon. This phenomenological approach allows us to assert that the symbolic interchange of children's and adult worlds (children's and adult subcultures) leads to the formation of a common communicative, "living" culture field, in particular musical creativity, where phenomenon of childhood manifests itself inclined to the same intentions as the general field indicated.
