RUSSIAN TEMPLE MUSIC IN RUSSIAN MUSICOLOGY AND PEDAGOGY OF MUSIC EDUCATION

Abstract

Russian sacred music has always occupied a special place in the history of Russian culture, which is why it has received a great analytical justification in Russian historical and theoretical musicology. The authors analyze the Russian sacred music in Russian historical and theoretical musicology from the moment of the adoption of Christianity in Russia to the present day. Based on the available studies of the process of formation of Russian sacred music in musicological literature, the authors propose to trace how its structure and content changed in different periods of Russian history in the system of Russian musical education and on the basis of musicological works to show that Russian sacred music is an art directly related to the process of education and formation of spiritual and moral foundations of personality. Such analysis allows to organically move on to the study of Russian sacred music and determine its importance for the national pedagogy of music education.
