Abstract

The ideologemes of Moscow as the New Jerusalem and New Rome, first emerged during the eminence of Moscow as seat of the unified Russian State. Such ideology primarily was gaining its foothold in the political consciousness of Russian ruling elite in the 16th and in the early 17th centuries. A variety of scientific research identify the ideology in various arts of iconography, architecture, literature, church and liturgical theatrical performance, yet, the manifestation of the theme of Moscow representing the 'Holy City' in the Old-Russian music has been under study for the first time ever. The contributors are analyzing the particular hymn "Shine! Shine! O New Jerusalem!" in the version of Moscow raspevshik (composer) Fyodor Krestjanin, composed on the surge of interest in this ideological idea. Krestjanin had created own hymnographic chant on the model of the Demestvenny polyphony, addressed to the image of New Jerusalem. The authors review the creation based on the unique record made by one of the tsar's chorister dating back to 1600, which evidences of the enormous interest in the mastering of Fyodor Krestjanin's chant among the tsar's "singing dyaks" (choristers). The article invites to study the authors' concept of the "Holy City" theme development by Fyodor Krestjanin in musical form.
