Abstract

The purpose of the research. The article analyzes the canon phenomenon and concept in a wide discursive field – from the consideration of canonical rules, canonical form to their realization in cantatory culture in general, and composer creativity in particular. Research methodology assumes the use of the following general scientific methods: typological – to identify key characteristics of the canonical phenomenon, philosophical and aesthetic, musicological analytical, historical and cultural methods. Along with these methods, in order to identify the conditions and structural and semantic aspects of the canon phenomenon, it is also necessary to use the systemic approach, which makes it possible to study comprehensively the object at various but interrelated levels. Scientific novelty consists in defining the canon phenomenon and concept as one of the leading cultural universals and key concepts of the Orthodox singing traditions and in Orthodox culture, in general. Conclusions. The evolution of Orthodox singing and the development of musical-liturgical style caused by it are initiated by the manifestation of the canon phenomenon, hence, the canonical phenomenon can be considered as a creative factor of this tradition, on the one hand, and as a necessary condition for the existence of liturgical-singing tradition, on the other hand. The Orthodox singing tradition acquires an autonomous music-style system as a unity of liturgical everyday and author musical and language installations.
