SPIRITUAL SYMBOLS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MUSICAL TEXT (THE "ANTHEM OF UKRAINE" MUSIC BY VERBITSKY TO THE WORDS OF P. CHUBINSKY)
The analysis of the Ukrainian anthem attracts the attention of many researchers both in the field of history and cultural studies, and in the field of musicology and linguistics. The musical text of the national anthem provides an opportunity to analyze systemic and interdisciplinary problems that are difficult to investigate in the context of narrowly professional directions. The study of the musical symbolism of the hymn allows synthesizing musicological and cultural components, including in the practice of analysis the executive context of the work, its musical architecture and the study of sign-character structures. Our analysis allows us to state that the "Hymns of Ukraine" is embodied (perhaps intuitively) in the musical-speech structure. The method of microminiature art, which has ethnographic roots. In the melody "Hymns of Ukraine" M. Verbitsky used the symphonic method of development of musical intonation, thanks to which its through carrying out with constant renewal acquires a new quality in the central climax in the words of the age-old oath "We will lay our soul and body for our freedom".
