Abstract
The article is devoted to the choral compositions of Mauricio Kagel created by the composer in the 1960th years. The author reveals the main themes of these compositions which have remained throughout all choral works of the composer. Formulation of relations between works by Xenakis and ancient art, theater of medieval Japan which traditions served Xenakis as a reference point in the process of reconstruction of musical traditions of ancient theater became result of the analysis of dramaturgic functions of chorus. Together with it an author analyzes a problem of word and music, specifics of the musical texture, vocal timbres and reveals influence of the choral works by contemporaries of the composer, and also individual methods of Xenakis’s choral composition. Special attention is paid to the famous vocal work “Nuits” which has been one of the most known examples of “phoneme” composition — the new direction in choral art of 1960 — the 1970th years.
