Musicology Annotation << Back «Philosophy of the Name» in chamber-instrumental compositions of Yury Vorontsov (the first decade of XXI century) Alla L. Chernyaeva In the article the author considers the phenomenon of «the name» of a composition in the context of contemporary domestic music. The designated problem is localized and took up in connection with the chamber-instrumental opuses of a Moscow composer Yury Vorontsov. The compositions represented in the article were written in the end of the XX century and the fi rst decade of the XXI century and posses the common stylistic constant. Among them can be mentioned «Con amore», «Reincarnation», «Sirius», «Amulet», «Microcosmos», «Status quo». A specific author’s approach to the process titling of the chamber-instrumental opuses proves not only the domination of the idea of conceptualism, but intensifi cation of the process of musical sense-making. The multimentional symbolics of «the name», which is assigned to the new opus, causes the process of splitting of the sense-bearing fi eld of the composition and, respectively, a possibility of individualized interpretation of the author's conception. "The name» of a composition is a peculiar precompositional structure and becomes a starting point in the dialogue between a composer and their listener.
