Philosophy of Intonation in Sergey Taneyev's Cantatas

摘要

This article aims to give a religious and philosophical interpretation of Sergey Taneyev's cantatas "St. John Damascene" and "On reading Psalm". By means of united philosophical and musicological methodologies, a study of both cantatas is made that shows the connection between the composer's ideas from the Russian religious-philosophical tradition and his creative priority of reviving the tradition of choral music.
