Abstract

The innovative search in the composition of the XX and XXI centuries is summarized in the rejection of the established musical means (like melody, harmony, tonality, form, etc.) in favor of other expressive means. Medium stories often stimulate authors to methods of composition and expression that are not related to the traditional sound system. This tendency is inherent in the works of Sofia Gubaidulina. The conceptuality and philosophical content of his works, the "bivalence" of the composer's style, the innovations in the sphere of musical language, the aspect of research is justified from the position of ontology and mythology. According to this research trajectory, the authors have to do with the choral cycle "Dedication to Marina Tsvetaeva" through the prism of the cosmogonic myth, which equates two methods of heteropolar vocal intonation (pure and with noise) with the categories of Chaos and Cosmos, inherent in this type of myth. The result of the study was a conclusion about the correlation of the deep drama of the Gubaidulina choral composition based on the dualistic principle of cosmogony with the synergistic systems of self-organization and its basic principle: "order from chaos".
