Authors: Ruskykh Sofiia
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to reveal the content and main directions of implementation of the model of cultural policy in Japan. Its peculiarities related to the traditional worldview, visuality, sensuality, and oriental aesthetics, and combined with the orientation towards human values are substantiated. This model, the main recipient of which is young people, unlike many models of Western countries, is implemented within the framework of mass culture, significantly influences American culture and is attractive to residents of other regions. The researchmethodology consists in the use of such approaches as synchronic and diachronic analysis, phenomenology and hermeneutics in the selection and analysis of works of art, strategies of cultural policy of Japan. Scientific novelty of the work is the first cultural analysis of the combination of traditional and modern cultural heritage in such leading genres of Japanese visual art as anime and manga. Conclusions. Due to the sensual nature of the authors' nature, the products of the Japanese creative industry reflect on such important universal problems as ecology, social injustice, moments of important emotional experiences of teenagers at their tender age and family values. The important contextual content of anime and manga is presented in an extremely aesthetic visual form, which often makes animation and literature equal to works of art. Many animated films and series are considered by connoisseurs to be an example of an ideal balance of visual and semantic load, which allows both to plunge into philosophical reflections on the meaning of life, one's place in society, or the existence of the dichotomy of good-evil, and simply to satisfy aesthetic needs in contemplation of beauty. Thus, the combination of Japanese thought and Western technology was realised in products – anime and manga – that became desirable in European and Western countries.

Regional Focus of Ukrainian Book Design Formation
Authors: Oliinyk Viktoriia
Published: December 2022

The purposeof the article is to study specific regional features in Ukrainian book design and determine the degree of their mutual influence. The research methodology is based on art analysis in the context of historical-chronological, iconographic, inductive, deductive, and comparative methods. The scientific novelty is represented by theses on the differences of conventionally defined Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv and Odesa graphic schools, which had an impact on the development of local book design, and, consequently, on the formation of the artistic image of the modern Ukrainian book. The conclusions are conditioned by significant phenomena and trends in regional graphic art, which caused the corresponding processes in the formation of the image of the book publishing industries of Kyiv region, Lviv region, Kharkiv region, and Odesa region. In particular, the Kyiv school of graphic design in the all-Ukrainian cultural and artistic context is distinguished by a bold desire to master the latest technologies, active consumption of the experience of specialists from other collaborations, high genre elasticity, and a tendency to multivariate interpretations of traditional forms, which was accordingly reflected in local book design. On the other hand, the Lviv art book, which is a bright and heterogeneous phenomenon from the point of view of design due to the irregularity of its own development, today is an original product, formed after a long search for an individual image against the background of gravitation to European trends, which was manifested by the diversity of creative methods and author's approaches in its design. The artistic design of the Kharkiv book looks relatively more restrained and constructive, due to the dominance of the infographic approach in the design of multi-genre publications and the production of the classical tradition of Ukrainian bookmaking. In addition, the printing of books from this region deserves high praise. The Odesa graphic school, which from the middle of the 20th century had a solid foundation of realism with a flavour of social art, is characterised by the interpenetration of various regional features of book design due to the active migration of book artists between publishing houses and the multinationality of the creative center.

Domestic Humanistic Tradition and Ukrainian Vocabulary as Primary Sources for Scientific Terminology in Professional Areas of Environment Creation
Authors: Tsarenko Serhii
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to find domestic lexical definitions of architecture, urbanism, and environmental design. The methodology of the research is an interdisciplinary synthesis of knowledge based on dialectics (H. Hegel) and the general theory of systems (L. von Bertalanffy). Scientific novelty. For the first time, the author has analysed the problem of the completeness of the domestic terminology on environment creation to express original meanings according to the Cyrillic humanistic tradition, and specialisations of activity. It has been proposed to introduce into scientific circulation a general definition of a group of professional artistic directions for creating an environment for human life as a hierarchical environmental image creation, the purpose of which is the integral beauty of spatial forms. Conclusions. The content of the borrowed terminology requires a more careful selection, as it is intended to enrich the vocabulary and clarify relevant industry concepts and professional specialisations, in particular, according to international qualification definitions. However, lexical borrowings do not have sufficient potential for worldview, mental-cognitive compliance with the national linguistic environment. In order to ensure national philosophical goal setting, in accordance with the national Slavic-Greek-Latin tradition of a complete and true Living Word, we need, along with borrowed names and terminology, to use primarily national, including Old Slavic, vocabulary in quality of the main methodological one. The domestic humanistic tradition, the peculiarities of word formation and the lexical fund of the Ukrainian literary language make it possible to return to wider use the national name of the content and purpose of an artistic composition (leepota) and to introduce into scientific circulation the natural definition of object-spatial arts, namely "environmental imagery" as well as «hierarchical environmental imagery».

Research methodology is based on systemic and environmental approaches, which allow considering the interior space and subject environment with the application of biophilia as a holistic project. The study has used the method of systematic analysis of specialised resources and scientific publications on the subject of the study; method of comparative analysis of similar objects; generalisation of information obtained in the process of research. Scientific and journalistic articles, domestic and foreign project development of spaces where this concept has been used became the source base of the research. The scientific novelty of the research consists in determining the features and means of biophilic design for their application in public spaces in the conditions of Ukraine, which creates an environment of life and promotes such social organisation and functioning of people that ensure the preservation and strengthening of their emotional state. Conclusions. Biophilia is one of the important ways to help people return to a life close to nature. It has been proven that satisfying a person’s inherent inclination to communicate with nature, biophilic design generates an emotional attachment to certain spaces and places. These emotional attachments motivate people to work productively, and they also motivate us to identify with the places where we live and to support them. Biophilic design promotes positive and permanent interaction and relations between people and the natural environment. Humans are a deeply social species whose safety and productivity depend on positive interactions in a spatial context. The research is motivated by the expansion and deepening of knowledge about the formation of the environment design with the use of the latest biophilia tool, which provides the possibility and can be used in the practice of designing natural environments. The research outcomes can be used in the practical activities of architects, designers and students of educational institutions of this specialisation.

The formalisation method is used to clarify the term «Entertainment» within the subject field of art history. The hermeneutic historical-cultural methodsenable the study of icon painting as a visual component of the «Entertainment» ceremonial-ritual phenomenon in the context of the socio-cultural life of Kyivan Rus. It is undeniable that the research also uses theoretical material regarding icon painting schools and traditions of icon painting during the times of Kyivan Rus.The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time icon painting is considered as a visual component of "entertainment" ritual in the context of the socio-cultural life of Kyivan Rus.Conclusions. The hermeneutic method of interpretation of the «entertainment» concept nakes it possible not to narrow its meaning to the term entertainment, in the linguistic and art-historical aspect. Thus, this term is interpreted as a spectacle, and in relation to this interpretation, it has several types, the main of which are ceremonial-ritual, artistic, agonal, and fair. The article focuses on the ceremonial-ritual format of «entertainment» and its visual component during the socio-cultural life of Kyivan Rus. The ceremonial and ritual format of the spectacle is extremely important, combining elements of ceremony and ritual, and the religious aspect plays an important role in the socio-cultural life of each historical era. The interpretation of rite and ritual in the works of Arnold van Gennep, I. Fursin, N. Zakovych, V. Horovyi, and E. Durkheim is considered. It has been determined that it is the symbolic nature of the ceremonial-ritual format of the spectacle that distinguishes it from entertaining, artistic, agony, and farce formats. It is noted that the church rite, as one of the forms of spectacle, also has the right to exist, as an external manifestation of faith in God and the possibility of worshiping him. Thus, icons, which had their own sign and symbolic language, acted as one of the visual components of the ceremonial-ritual spectacle in Kyivan Rus, for example, a church rite. The traditions of the Kyiv icon-painting school of the times of Kyivan Rus, the peculiarities of style, and the main icons of that period are considered, which makes it possible to determine that icon-painting is one of the visual components of the "Entertainment" ritual in the socio-cultural life of Kyivan Rus.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to reveal the regularities of socio-cultural and art history activity formation in the context of researches and representations of M. Hlushchenko`s tangible cultural heritage. The research methodology is based on cultural-historical, analytical, synthetic, and comparative methods to outline similarities and highlight differences in processes of socio-cultural activity related to M. Hlushchenko’s figure, artistic work, and personal archive. The scientific novelty. Based on the analysis, synthesis, and comparison of the main exhibitions, publishing projects, and journalistic activities dedicated to the 120th anniversary of Mykola Hlushchenko, the priority vectors of specialists’ activities in socio-cultural sphere have been identified. Dependency of socio-cultural activities in process of representing the M. Hlushchenko`s cultural heritage has been detected through the cultural-historical method in accordance with public needs. Conclusions. For 30 years since Ukraine regained its independence, the tradition of presenting socio-cultural projects for artist's anniversaries, probably borrowed from the Soviet times, has been established. In other words, the actualisation of M. Hlushchenko’s cultural heritage takes place cyclically, every five years. Today, the number of open, but still unexamined archival documents is growing every year, and mostly they are included in the scientific circulation without proper systematisation and processing. Traditionally, exhibition activity, namely the demonstration of some individual pieces of M. Hlushchenko's creative achievements, occurs at regional level. The main scientific investigations of M. Hlushchenko’s heritage has been carried out in related scientific fields, such as history, cultural studies, and archival work. Research activities are held by scientists insufficiently, accordingly, M. Hlushchenko’s cultural heritage still remains understudied, although it occupies an exceptional place in the history of Ukrainian art of the 20th century and deserves special attention and more detailed modern art research. Currently, we consider that the most significant contribution to research and representation of M. Hlushchenko’s cultural heritage in the field of socio-cultural projecting is publication of information with limited access, in particular archival documents and artistic works.

Ethno Art Traditions in Fashion and Music as Factor of the Artist’s National Identity Formation
Authors: Lehenkyi Yurii , Arefieva Yelyzaveta
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to determine the guidelines of the artist’s ethnocultural identity as a phenomenon of Ukrainian fashion and music. The research methodology is determined by comparative and systemic approaches, focused on a holistic analysis of the phenomenon of the artist's ethno-cultural identity. The novelty of the article. Ethnoartistic traditions are defined as a two-dimensional vector of reflection. Ethnoculture as a reality is inherited by an artist, enters modern culture on the basis of cultural creativity. Ethnoartistic traditions are realised in the professional activity of an artist, designer, and art critic. National identity cannot be imposed from above, be an ideological tool, a concept structured in the form of certain paradigms, models, realities of cultural creation. Identity arises as a living experience of communication, as a reality of the self-fulfillment of national self-awareness processes. Conclusions. Ethnoartistic traditions are a problem of the artist's will, freedom of choice, and freedom of self-determination. To a greater extent, this problem is an ethical one. A person gives themselves the opportunity to be nationally conscious in fashion and music – this is a determinant of freedom of will and choice. The search for horizons of national community and identity is always connected with the fact that fashion and musical priorities cannot be abstract, purely literary, cannot be a manifestation defined as an ideological construction. National identity is always connected with the living experience of ethno-cultural communication. The dichotomy of ethnogenesis and culturogenesis in the space of the artist's self-awareness always finds that harmonious unity, dispositive, which encourages, moreover, prompts the self-determination of the actor’s creativity and activity in fashionable discourse.

Lesia Ukrainka's Works on the Domestic Ballet Scene
Authors: Perova Hanna , Khotsianovska Liudmyla
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to reproduce a complete panorama of Lesia Ukrainka's creations on the domestic ballet stage and to reveal the peculiarities of such ballets. The research methodology is based on the methods of generalization, comparison, and systematization, with the use of a chronological approach, which made it possible to reveal a panorama of ballet masters' appeals to Lesia Ukrainka's works in historical retrospect. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a complete panorama of Lesia Ukrainka's works, interpreted by means of choreographic art on the domestic ballet stage, has been reproduced, and the specifics of the interaction between such works and ballet have been revealed. Conclusions. Lesia Ukrainka's creativity was close to the nature of the ballet theater in its poetic and ephemeral image structure, philosophical generalizations. The success of ballet interpretations often depended on how closely the ballet master imitated the dramatic structure of the works, but did not resort to illustrating or directly translating literary language into choreographic vocabulary, how creatively he interpreted the poetics of the word in choreographic images. Among the works of Lesia Ukrainka, the drama extravaganza "Forest Song" by M. Skorulskyi, first staged by S. Serhieiev in 1946, became the most popular for ballet interpretations. Despite the number of ballet masters' appeals (N. Skorulska, Ye. Khasianova, M. Trehubov, A. Pantykin, V. Kovtun, V. Lytvynov etc.), consider V. Vronskyi 's production of 1958 to be the best interpretation due to its masterful approach to the ideological and philosophical content of Lesia Ukrainka's work, its compositional and architectural integrity, the symphonization of the choreography, and the psychological persuasiveness of the images. Less popular, but quite significant for the progress of the Ukrainian ballet theater, were the performances "Lights of the Night" by L. Dychko (1967) and "The Master of the Fireplace" by V. Hubarenko (1969) (the first – based on the poem of the same name and the second – based on the drama of the same name by Lesia Ukrainka; both first staged by A. Shekera).

Authors: Yeriomenko Andrii
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to reveal the aesthetic, genre and style constants of Anatoly Haydenko's creative activity. The methodological basis is the basic principles of the theory of knowledge (objectivity, scientificity, historicism, integrity, interconnection and interdependence of phenomena and processes of reality); the main provisions of systemic, axiological, art history, competence, and cultural approaches as a methodological way of studying composer activity; conceptual provisions of the theory of professional compositional skill. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that, on the basis of the composer's personal statements, his aesthetic position regarding the purpose of art is highlighted; by analysing scale-compositional, technical-performance and genre-stylistic features, A. Haydenko’s narrative works are systematised. The intonation, textural, compositional, and dramaturgical features of the composer's music are revealed based on analytical observations of a number of opuses. The evolutionary trends and genre-intonation system in A. Haidenko’s accordion work are characterised. Conclusions. A. Haidenko's fairy tale concerts and sonatas demonstrate the composer's demonstrative interest in images of the distant past, the desire for a national certainty of sound, reliance on folklore sources, presented both in the form of quotations and intonation or harmonic elements assimilated in the author's text. Another trend in A. Haidenko's work was marked by the concerto for accordion with orchestra "Ecce homo!", which clearly shows the composer's desire to expand the figurative and stylistic horizons of music in the direction of the European coordinate system.

"Madonna Ukraine" in Ivan Karabyts’s Pop Song: View through the Prism of National Collective Thinking
The purpose of the work is to substantiate the characteristic features of the “Madonna Ukraine” image as a corresponding archetype symbol of national collective thinking in Ivan Karabyts’s pop and song works. The research methodology is based on the use of cultural and analytical methods, on the identification of mental foundations and the result of the embodiment of the “Madonna Ukraine” archetype in the artist’s pop song. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the creation of a specified view perspective on Ivan Karabyts’s pop art. Conclusions. The conducted research made it possible to draw the conclusion that Ivan Karabyts transforms deep-mental primitives on a generalised level in the creation of the Native Land archetype. The artist creates the essence of the archetype of Ukraine as Madonna, Mother Earth and Woman, through the prism of reflecting the Aura and Memory categories (M. Kopytsia), as well as, let us add, of Love, Beauty, and Inspiration. The patriotism feeling is manifested with special filial respect and the national collective thinking cornerstones reveals in this. The feedback of such an artistic message in contemporary art, in our opinion, is a question that determines the prospects for further research into this issue.

Artist’s Biography: from Individual and Creative Experience to Sociocultural Memory
Authors: Mykulanynets Lesia
Published: December 2022

The aim of the article is to analyse the specifics of presenting biographies of prominent profiles belonging to different eras; to confirm their revealing the key concepts of the humanity’s sociocultural memory while retransferring the artist’s individual and creative experience. The research methodology is based on implementing interdisciplinary approach with a variety of the following methods. The analytical method was used to study references adjacent to the issue of the study; the historical method was applied to renew the conditions of the existence of a creative person from various eras. The hermeneutic method enabled interpreting the chronicles’ content; the biographical one helped revealing multifaceted aspects of the master’s being. The systemic method was used to comprehensively consider the studied issue, while the theoretical one was applied to summarise the research outcomes. Scientific novelty. For the first time ever, national humanitarian studies are represented with the thesis justifying the connection between the master’s being and the civilisation circumstances of their era. Conclusions. Biography is a unique genre concentrating a profound framework of anthropological information, following the master’s and public’s collaboration. Antique patterns fix aspiring after obtaining harmony and combining the spiritual and the moral. The ones from the Middle Ages illustrate Christian postulates, holiness norms, and the personality’s genuine mission. The Renaissance profiles witness a philanthropic turning point, circularisation, considering the person’s essence as universal extent. The Enlightenment biographies justify the dominance of rationalism and the science principles of the reality awareness. The Romanticism chronicles implement the idea of the artist’s significance, of his inner essence and the equality of epoch phenomena and artworks. The chronicles referring to the early XX century reflect anthropological transformations, tension, complexity, and uncertainty. The Postmodernism opuses emphasise the wish to reconsider “the subjective world”, confirming the connection between all the existing phenomena, asserting the freedom from any dogmas. Contemporary masters’ chronicles indicate the beginning of the new European era. The master’s individual and creative achievements implemented via biography reconstruct and transmit the humanity’s sociocultural memory. The latter appears as a complex of knowledge, socially significant data, achievements and their extension mechanisms that reflect homo sapience practice being conceptualised via various opuses.

Historical Stages of Musical Art Development in the Context of Scientific and Technical Progress
Authors: Uzhynskyi Mykhailo , Kovalyk Bohdan
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the work is to define the historical milestones of scientific and technological progress and to identify the interrelationship of art, technique, and technology at various stages of world culture development. The research methodology is based on philosophical and aesthetic research on the evolution of artistic culture and the understanding of the musical-communicative process, which allows the summing up and substantiating of the conclusions of the outlined issues. The scientific novelty of the work consists in gradually highlighting the historical stages of the scientific and technical revolution, demonstrating its direct influence on the development of musical art from the first stages of its development to the present day. It has been determined that in each historical formation, transformational processes are closely related to scientific and technical progress, which today are the main driving force of the musical and technical industry. Conclusions. The first stage is marked by the emergence of writing, which destroyed the monopoly of a small number of people on knowledge. At this stage, musical notation appears, with the help of which the information related to music is broadcasted. In the second stage, the invention of the printing press becomes a means of rapid dissemination of information, including musical information, through sheet music printing. The third stage is associated with the invention of mechanical sound recording and sound reproduction devices, as well as the introduction of electric current and analogue sound recording devices. In the fourth stage, because of modern technological achievements, the so-called phenomenon of "digital arts" is formed, which is characterised by interactivity, elitism, a new genre system, and innovative means of artistic expression. Modern artistic technologies, relying on the latest sound processors, computer software, and other digital innovations, help to expand the boundaries and create a new sound palette in music and concert practice, theatre performances, studio work, radio broadcasting, screen arts, and other areas of cultural and artistic life.

To do this, the study analyses the similarities and differences in the historical development of music in Ukraine by looking into some historical events. The contextual relationships of Ukrainian music history with national traditions and global trends were established. The research methodology. The study relies on comparative and culturological analyses to compare the historical heritage of Ukrainian music art as a cultural process with Western European traditions and influences. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the expanding of the historical knowledge about Ukrainian music in the context of artistic styles. Conclusions. Culturological analysis revealed that Ukrainian Baroque was most vivid between the mid 17th and the mid 18th centuries. During this period, polyphonic pieces were written in the Baroque style not inferior to Western European church music in terms of artistic quality and national originality. Partes is a new Ukrainian style of church music born from the baroque tradition. Under the influence of Western Europe, the single-frequency partes singing or partsong transformed to become a spiritual concerto in the Classical period. The influence of European Romanticism had a weak effect on Ukrainian music. Its elements can be traced only in the works by Ukrainian composers of the second half of the 19th century, such as S. Hulak-Artemovskyi, M. Lysenko, V. Matiuk, S. Vorobkevych, and A. Vakhnianyn, to name a few. Later, the Ukrainian music culture was enriched by compositions from B. Liatoshynskyi, A. Kos-Anatolskyi, S. Liudkevych, and A. Shtoharenko. The avant-garde music of the 1960s (L. Hrabovskyi, V. Khodziatskyi, V. Sylvestrov, and V. Zahortsev) stands out with its innovation. At the beginning of the 20th century, national music culture entered into a dialogue with the modernist discourse, leading to the emergence of Ukrainian Modernism.

The purpose of the article is to consider the history of creation, existing editions and revisions, as well as performance on various keyboard instruments of Partita No. 1, B-dur, BWV 825, by J.S.  Bach, as well as to identify and justify the discrepancies in performance interpretations. The research methodology. Universal (historical and analytical) methods and the following special research methods are taken as a basis. The system-ethnophonic method examines the interaction of the “instrument-performer-music” connection: the features of the instruments' constructions and their acoustic capabilities, the performing complex (playing technique, methods of working with the text, performing schools) and the music performance (the manner of performance). Cognitive and complex approbation methods are based on the fact that the author, as a practicing performer, directly tested the researched material, namely the nature of mastering playing techniques, ornamentation, within the framework of performing practice, conversations and master classes with the largest representatives of the performing tradition (M. Svyrydenko, O. Dmytrenko, B. Billeter, M. Kristeva, S. Levi) and traditions of musical instruments making (D. Titenko). The research material is the records of the most famous performers. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the problem of the possibility and artistic justification (authenticity) of performing a baroque piece of music on various keyboard instruments in today's conditions is highlighted. As an example, the piano Partita No. 1 by J. S. Bach is taken. Existing editions, revisions, musical performances on piano, harpsichord, clavichord, organ were analysed and compared. Conclusions. The following differences in perfomance interpretations were revealed: in the time of performance (which is related to the different duration of the sound on each instrument, although the individual artistic idea of the performer is also important); in the dynamic plan of building compositions: the terrace volume of the dynamics of the harpsichord and the organ opposes the gradual transition from the forte to the piano and vice versa (ascending-descending dynamics) of the piano and clavichord (which is also related to the peculiarities of the structure of the instruments and their dynamic capabilities). At the same time, we observe the unity in the different interpretations of the articulation, agogics and phrasing.

Receptions of Mykola Lysenko in Visual Artefacts by Western Ukrainian Artists
Authors: Kuznetsova Olha
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to discover and reveal the symbolism of the artefacts by painters, sculptors, carvers, and other artists of Galicia, dedicated to Mykola Lysenko’s personality and achievements. The research methodology. The historical-retrospective method has been applied to find materials and documents about the existence of artefacts, determine the chronology and motivation for their appearance. The system-analytic method has enabled their systematisation by the types of visual arts and for analytical observations. The interdisciplinary method has been used to highlight the connections between music and visual arts through the embodiment of the composer's images by their representatives. The scientific novelty is that the topic is being considered for the first time. The Galician painters’ creativity was especially intensified before the celebration of Mykola Lysenko’s 35th work anniversary in 1903, and due to the composer’s 100th anniversary gala during the German occupation of Lviv in 1942. The peculiarities of the images of Lysenko by Ivan Trush, Osyp Kurylas and others, their stylistics and symbolism are considered. The problem also affects other artistic and visual gifts, which later became exhibits in the Lysenko room-museum at the Lviv Conservatory. Conclusions. Visual artefacts indicate piety to the founder of the national school of composers, his spiritual influence, which was spread not only among the musicians, but also the visual arts’ representatives. The Galician artists – painters, carvers, sculptors and architects, involved in artistic Lysenko Studies, were inspired by his bright image and purposeful service to the Ukrainian national culture. Most of them originated from Galicia (Ivan Trush, Osyp Kurylas, Yaroslav Pstrak, Mykhailo Parashchuk, Yulian Pankevych), others stayed and worked in Lviv for some time (Mykhailo Mykhalevych and Serhiy Lytvynenko). These artefacts became a kind of manifestation of the Artist-Patriot’ idealisation, his culture-creative mission.

Genre and Aesthetic Specificity of Modern Children's Musical
Authors: Belymenko Liliiana
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to reveal the specifics of children's musicals in the system of musical and theatre genres using the example of Ukrainian authors’ works; to establish a complete set of genre and aesthetic features of a modern children's musical. Research methodology. The method of systemic and genre-stylistic analysis was applied, thanks to which the children's musical was considered as an independent genre of musical and theatrical art, genre and stylistic features, as well as artistic and aesthetic specificity were revealed; the method of comparative analysis, which contributed to the identification of common and distinctive features of a classical musical and a children's musical. Scientific novelty. The genre and aesthetic specifics of children's musicals of the first decades of the 21st century have been studied. The phenomenon of the synthesis of arts as the aesthetic basis of a children's musical has been analysed. The aesthetic proximity of children's musicals and musicals for adults, their characteristic appeal to popular literary works, the equivalence of musical, dramaturgical, plastic, and stage means of expression have been considered. Conclusions. The development of musicals for children as a genre is a dynamic process that continues even at the present stage. Its genesis is combined with the dominant role of synthesising processes, at the level of the dramatic primary source, music-theatrical and cross-genre dialogues, symbiosis and interpenetration of various styles and stylistic elements, as well as the laws and trends of the entertainment industry. A modern musical for children is a unique complex music-theatre project, in which scenario dramaturgy and plastic-dance spectacle prevail, which are the basis of the formative regularities of its dance component. A children's musical, a unique holiday genre, unlike classical musicals, among which there are works with a very serious, lyrical, and sometimes sad content, is a musical for children at the level of content and form, namely the plot, presentation of the material, its degree, energy, dynamics, is on the wave of a festive show, which creates a joyful state of mind and an uplifted mood.
