The Influence of Volga Tatar Folk Music and Soviet Cultural Policies on the Orchestral Composers of Kazan
No full textAfter a brief historical overview of Volga Tatar history and Soviet political and historical contexts, this document begins with a detailed description of Volga-Tatar folk musical characteristics, including probable influences as described, analyzed, and transcribed by twentieth and twenty-first century Volga Tatar scholars. In this description, the author attempts to give the preferential voice to Tatar perspectives, such as the early ethnographers and Tatar ethnomusicologists from Kazan State Conservatory, the officials from the Union of Composers of the Republic of Tatarstan, and of course, the composers themselves. The author’s detailed discussion of folk music elements and genres is then followed by an elucidation of extramusical influences on the early generations of composers in Kazan, including Soviet era cultural policies, programs, and institutions. Next, is found an overview of the events leading up to the development of professional music in Kazan, followed by brief biographical sketches of a majority of Kazan’s composers who wrote symphonic music—covering their lives, musical accomplishments, stylistic characteristics, major symphonic works, and spheres of influence. Some of the Volga Tatar composers from the earliest generation—those who the author considers to be the forefathers of the Kazan school of composition, include: Sultan Gabyashi, Zagidulla Yarullin, and Salikh Saidashev. Then follows the first generation of professionally-trained Tatar orchestral composers, including: Mansur Muzafarov, Zagid Khabibullin, Nazib Zhiganov, Färid Yarullin, and Rustem Yakin. Next, the author briefly illustrates the lives, compositional styles, and musical contributions of second, third, and most recent generations of Volga Tatar composers, showing evidence of intergenerational influence between the first generations and those who followed. In the final chapter, Ms. Brown shares musical examples drawn from these composers\u27 orchestral scores that illustrate their musical explorations and influences. This musical analysis endeavors to show Tatar folk music influences, as well as evidence of outside influences, including the Soviet Russian school, neighboring ethnic cultures, and Western influences. It also examines their attempts to fuse the attributes and genres of their folk music with the complexities of larger, developmental, symphonic forms and other compositional practices and techniques of Western, Western European, and Soviet Russian Schools. Through this narrative and subsequent analysis, the author\u27s stated objective is to identify the unique characteristics of the Kazan School of composition through examining its orchestral composers and their compositional styles, striving to shed light on the works and lives of the orchestral composers of Kazan, who, until this day, remain largely unknown in the West, in both professional and collegiate orchestral programs
The book culture of the Lithuanian Tatars in the context of cultural relations between Polish-Lithuanian Tatars and the Tatars of the Volga-Urals
No full text166-176В статье на основе материалов личного архива А. Антоновича (F. 150) рас-
смотрена роль культурных связей литовских татар с учеными, проживавшими на
исторической родине - в Волго-Уральском регионе, и их значение в деле изуче-
ния книжной традиции литовских татар. За историей каждой книги или рукописи
обязательно стоит ее автор-создатель, переводчик, переписчик, первооткрыватель.
К числу последних следует отнести и профессора Вильнюсского университета
А.К. Антоновича, благодаря которому научная общественность узнала о существовании рукописей литовских татар и в Отделе рукописей и редких книг Научной
библиотеки Казанского университета (ОРРК НБЛ КГУ). В архиве А. Антоновича,
хранящемся в Отделе рукописей Библиотеки Вильнюсского университета, отложи-
лась переписка профессора с учеными-славистами, востоковедами, этнографами,
историками из разных стран, в том числе с учеными-выходцами из Казани (А. Хали-
довым, М. Мамедалиевым, Р. Музафаровым, Э. Наджипом и Ш. Мухамедьяровым).
Благодаря этой переписке можно многое узнать о профессиональной деятельности
профессора за период с 1964 по 1974 гг., т. е. накануне и после защиты докторской
диссертации. Личные связи, взаимовыручка и взаимопонимание между коллега-
ми-учеными способствовали научному сотрудничеству и укреплению культурных
связей между двумя регионами. В XIX в. Казань становится очень важным науч-
ным центром: в Казанском университете учатся и преподают выходцы из Литвы,
в местных типографиях издаются книги на литовском языке. Деятельность выходцев
из Литвы в Казани может послужить материалом для дальнейших исследований и
публикаций по теме культурных взаимосвязей между Литвой и Татарстаном.On the basis of the materials preserved in the private archive of A. Antonovich,
the author studies the cultural relations between the Tatars of Lithuania and those in
their historical homeland, the Volga-Urals; and how these relations impacted on book
culture among the Lithuanian Tatars. Each book has its own history, its author, compiler,
translator, the producer of a given manuscript copy, and the person who discovered the
book. To this latter category belongs A.K. Antonovich, professor of Vilnius University,
who brought to light that the Manuscript Collection of the Scientific Library of Kazan State
University hosts manuscripts produced by Lithuanian Tatars. Antonovich's own archive,
now located in the Manuscript section of Vilnius University, contains his correspondence
with scholars of Slavic studies, Orientalists, ethnographers, and historians from various
countries, including from Kazan (A. Khalidov, M. Mamedaliev, R. Muzafarov, E. Nadzhip
and Sh. Mukhamed'iarov). This correspondence is a very useful source for reconstructing
Antonovich's professional activities in the years between 1964 and 1974 that is from
shortly before he defended his doctoral dissertation. Personal ties, mutual understanding
and support between colleagues led to scientific cooperation and to the strengthening of
cultural relations between the two regions. In the 19th century Kazan became an important
scientific center, and among the students and teachers at Kazan University there were
people from Lithuania; also, the local printing houses published works in the Lithuanian
language
