Searching for identity at the crossroads of cultures. St John Passion by Sofia Gubaidulina
Journal Title: Edukacja Muzyczna - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 10
Abstract
The article presents the issue of coexistence of eastern and western cultural elements in the artistic output of the Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina, using as an example one of her most important works – ‘St John Passion’. The text gives priority to such questions as the presence of the genre of passion in the Eastern Church tradition or the source of inspiration for a work of art. Then author indicates the sources of the composition text and their theological meaning and finally describes the most important musical elements, which bind ‘St John Passion’ to the eastern and western culture and simultaneously constitute a recognizable stylistic idiom of the composer.
