CHORAL COMPOSITIONS IN THE LEGACY OF LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the place of choral works in the heritage of Luigi Dallapiccola (1904–1975). The author presents an overview of the aesthetic and compositional-technical features of the main choral opuses of the Italian composer. Based on the study of literary preferences of Dallapiccola there are three main thematic lines: social and political, humorous and household and religious ethics, the frst of which is associated with the current themes of the Italian vocal music of the 1940–1960s, represented by the names L. Nono and B. Maderna and the L. Dallapiccola. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of pitch, texture and timbre of the works, the analysis of which allows to draw conclusions about the evolution of choral writing of the early neomodal experiences of Dallapiccola to complex serial organization of his mature works.
