THE SYNERGY OF WORD AND MUSIC IN THE HERITAGE OF HRYHORII SKOVORODA: THE COMPETENCE ASPECT OF INTEGRATED LEARNING

Abstract

The investigation has raised the problem of the relationship between words and music in the legacy of Hryhorii Skovoroda, a famous Ukrainian philosopher, theologian, teacher, poet and musician. The connection between literary words and music as cultural phenomena as well as artistic consciousness is raised.  In the work of Hryhorii Skovoroda this connection is perceived and has  a synergistic effect. Drawing parallels between his literary and musical work will contribute to the understanding the interaction of two types of human communication, verbal and non-verbal. Thus, the purpose of the article is to reveal the relationship between words and music in the works of Hryhorii Skovoroda which manifests the synergy, generates new meanings and becomes a competence-based component of integrated education. The formation of a new musical thinking is determined in his creativity.  The synergy of Logos and Melos worked in the transition from the  baroque style to the romance song. The synergy of words and music in the legacy of Skovoroda is a powerful space of intellectual and spiritual-creative understanding, and there  many connotations within music are clearly marked. The use of the philosophical music categories , in particular, the concepts of Logos and Melos, raises the artistic synergistic influence.
