Phenomenon of public space in music: concept "We"
This research paper deals with various models of reflection of public space in music of the 19-20th centuries and aims at revealing the contents and means of musical expressiveness of a concept «We». This research was conducted using the method of the musicological analysis, method of a hermeneutics and comparative method. Anthems of the different countries intended for public space and large-scale performing forces - choral and orchestral performance, are used as an example to show the distinction in organization of meanings and musical material within one symbol of musical unity. Also this paper explores the mechanism of emergence of complementary musical contexts and meanings of anthems from folklore and religious background up to real musical practice and socially caused factors. It is proved that the anthem acts as the musical symbol stereotype expressing the collective unconscious, providing virtual integrity of the people, both during historical evolution, and in spatial-temporal «breaks» - migratory processes, wars and other global transformations. It is inferred that modeling of public space of the anthem in music comes taking into account all stages of its evolution - from religious, lyrical to civic-minded and patriotic anthems that is expressed by the choice of certain means of musical expressiveness.
