Abstract

The article characterizes the artistic and aesthetic views and creativity of Yuri Markovich Butsko (1938–2015), as a composer with a pronounced personality; as a teacher who brought up several generations of musicians; as a talented researcher of Russian music. In Butsko's work three most important imagery and semantic spheres can be singled out, which were present even in his early period: the first may be linked to the national folklore tradition; the second to Russian literary and musical classics, the third to the Orthodox faith, prayer and hymns.

Keywords

aesthetic and artistic principles of Butsko as a composer, originality of creative method and style, link to national church, folklore traditions and Russian literary and musical classics
