Abstract Forest has a crucial role in elevating public welfare. It provides various products such as food, beverages, clothes, residence, musical instruments, and medicines. The medicines originated from the forest could act as the supplier for livelihood particularly for a traditional healer. The traditional healer is one of the health treatments sources for the people of Sebesi Island. For traditional healers, the forest is also beneficial in the knowledge production of traditional medication. This study purposes to examine the role of the forest in knowledge production carried out by traditional healers and identify the patterns of knowledge production. Data collection was done through interviewing, involving four traditional healers in Tejang Village, Sebesi Island, South Lampung. Another method was literature study related to the roles of forests in traditional medication and knowledge production. The knowledge production process can occur through giving agents, both human and non-human ones, namely teachers, family members, books, and dreams. The interaction between those healers with the forest also resulted in the medication knowledge. The role of the forest in the knowledge production of traditional medication is that it transforms into a place for semedi or meditation when doing ngelmu, knowledge sources about medication, and the place for the existence of medicinal plants.

The interaction between the evolution of the orchestra and the concerto at the end of the late 16th — first half of the 17th centuries has been considered. Three levels of interaction are revealed. The first one is the basso continuo. There is little attention paid to the importance of this technique for the formation of the orchestra: the impact on the formation of instrumentalists’ collectives through the appearance of a homophonic way of presentation; combining different forces of sound of instruments; strengthening the bass line as a solid foundation for the entire vertical structure. The second level is the concerto principle. It is emphasized that during the 16th century the concerto meant ―ensemble‖ of any configuration. The strengthening of the instrumental component in the works of M. Uccellini, I. Baccusi, A. and J. Gabrieli, A. Banchieri had an impact on the transformation of the concerto principle. Initially, the principle appeared through the opposition of pitches and density of texture, eventually extends to the comparison of instrumental, mixed vocal-instrumental and vocal groups, thus stimulating contrast in the middle of an instrumental groups such as ensemble and orchestra. The third level of the interaction is embodied in the genre of madrigal (C. Monteverdi). It seems that the release of instruments, the diversification of their functions, the rejection of the permanent exact duplications and the increased role of the timbre obviously require an instrumental body as a stable structure for the implementation of all above mentioned. The development of musical instruments, the diversification of their functions, the use of sinfonia and ritornellos in the choral composition became a driven force for the modification of the concerto principle resulted in the intensification of the competitive origin in the orchestra with each decade. All the above encourages to revise the depth of interaction between the orchestra and concerto. The orchestra as an organized and multi-instrumental collective, designed to exhibit music beyond the church or theatrical genres, becomes the institutional basis for the embodiment of the concerto principle in a particular genre of the instrumental concerto.

Abstract Engaging the viewer in a dialogue with the opera of Giuseppe Verdi is an approach that involves him spiritually, culturally, morally. You can enter this universe of opera music through several gates. The wide path of science will walk through the portal of stylistics, aesthetics, philosophy or art history. On another road comes the profane, motivated by the love for the beautiful. The opera Nabucco was the first step in the evolution of Italian lyrical theatre – from melodrama to realistic drama – characterised by the unity and strength of artistic conception, the energy and simplicity of musical language. Verdi’s dramatic sense and affinity for realism propelled him over time into the role of composer- playwright, his name being closely linked to titles such as: Ernani, Luisa Miller, Macbeth, Othello, Falstaff. However, we can note in recent decades the lack or low presence of important titles among Verdian operas in the repertoire of lyrical theatres. Can the contemporary public still receive this composer’s authentic message? Can current performers wear the clothes of truthful characters and meet the composer’s requirements for the vocal approach? The mission of hermeneutics – this interdisciplinary science – is to discover, as far as possible, the mechanisms of the interpretation of a social phenomenon (as the opera of Giuseppe Verdi has been repeatedly perceived), and its reminiscences in contemporary society.

The study of the first reading by the means of the national musical language and opera and theatrical tradition of China of the Oriental theme Turandot at the opera Wei Minglinu «The Chinese Princess» was conducted with the aim of outlining the specifics of the new figurative role of the heroine, its mental-psychological peculiarities; considering the metamorphosis of the Oriental tradition through the «congenital» of the exotic to the national-authentic. Scientific approaches are taken from the contextual field of comparative and imagoology, the methodology of which touches upon the field of studying the problems of mutual cultural representations of peoples, the assimilation of cultural heritage and images of a certain ethnic group in the consciousness and art of other nations, in correspondence with the actual problems of Orientalism in music. Reading the image of Turandot by a Chinese composer creates an opportunity for a new interpretative turn in the voluminous space of the existence of this text, the emergence of new measurements of the indicators of content and its characteristics. Image Turandot as an original model with the corresponding geocultural imago in the fabulous poetics of the perceptual field «East as Exotics and Danger», passing complex path of modification during the 300- year existence in the adaptation of different cultures, is embodied in means of national semantics of bright ethnographic-anthropological type. The author constructs an ethno-form from an Oriental-exotic heroine, demonstrating his national identity, revealing the typical ethnological features of the whole people. This allows us to interpret this opera as a national first reading, in which the generally accepted European model of Oriental travel fantasy semantics turns into a reasoned, realistic, based on traditional philosophical foundations, Chinese lyrical drama, in which exotic elements of European culture appear. The fact of this transcultural diffusion involves scientific research in the field of dialogue of cultures, encouraging new discoveries when meeting with the Other, re-evaluating, updating, rebuilding the position of "My" and "Other" in relation to to generally human and universal.

The 19Th Century

The article deals with a generalized musicological analysis of the songs from two vocal collection series, titled «Kobzar Tarasa Shevchenka» (Taras Shevchenko’s Kobzar) by the 19th century Ukrainian composer of Polish origin Vladyslav Zaremba in order to attract attention to the composer’s creative heritage, reveal the most typical features of his musical language and determine their stylistics in the context of the 19th century musical culture. Also the article attempts to specify the significance of the vocal works collection in the context of developing the Ukrainian romance and the 19th century Ukrainian T. Shevchenko series.The article focuses on the content of vocal compositions associated with typical folk characters, as well as the composer’s vision of his characters’ complex and rich inner world. The article considers the works devoted to the themes of orphanhood, loneliness, alien land, love, typical romantic motives of the Cossack will, sentiments of grief and melancholy, which form the figurative and poetic content of Shevchenko’s poems.The analysis is focused not only on V. Zaremba’s lyrical songs, but also his vocal works, which raise the complex social issues of difficult maidenhood, orphanhood, the search for better life, the main characters’ romantic attempts to realize their dreams and the sad realities. The main attention is focused on the role of the piano, which is interpreted by the composer as an active participant in the dramatic action. However, the piano version of V. Zaremba’s vocal works highlights an extremely important and vivid element of the national sound sphere, namely the imitation of playing the bandura, which performs the semantic role of the national Ukrainian symbol and is perceived as an important component of the national culture. Thus, the conducted analysis allows visualizing the figurative and emotional world of T. Shevchenko’s poetry and deducing the values of the bandura as a semiotic sign in the 19th century Ukrainian musical culture, which will become especially noticeable in M. Lysenko’s works. An important issue in analyzing the composer’s style is the focus on the synthesis of European school achievements with the individual elements of the national school as a certain stage in the development of Ukrainian professional music, which replaces amateurism and dilettantism.
