초록

The Russian-American composer Arthur Lourie (1891-1966) was an accepted leader of Russian Futurism in the field of music. Due to complicated text of his articles and manifestoes and many other reasons the existence of his aesthetics and principles of new music were not seriously taken into consideration by scholars. The basic principles of the new art were stated in the Russian Art Manifesto “We and the West” (Мы и Запад) in 1914, of which the composer was a co-author.
This article argues that Lourie created his aesthetics regarding to the new music even it was not presented by the author himself in a separated writing.
To confirm that Lourie followed the principles of his aesthetics, I first derive the statements of the new music in the perspective of the composer. The analysis and interpretation are based on the manifestoes of the Russian Futurism “We and the West” and “We and the West: The Speech to the Youths-Artists of Caucasia” (Мы и Запад: Обращение к юношам Кавказа, 1917) and of four essays written during 1914-1959 related to the elements of musical language: melody, rhythm, harmony, and form. Secondly, I analyze the three songs of the song cycle Greek Songs, Lament for Adonis, Garden of the Nymphs, and Fall Asleep on Your Friend’s Bosom by Arthur Lourie focusing on the issue of the connection between theoretical statements of Lourie’s aesthetics and their practical implementation in music.
