FUNCTIONAL SPACE OF MODERN RUSSIAN FOLK-SINGING PERFORMANCE
In the course of time any culture can exist only on condition of constant updating, developing and correcting of meanings and purposes under new circumstances of the history. Something important is kept in the memory of generations and their musical skills and playing skills. That satisfies its vital needs and moods. And that also helped to keep valuable aspects in person formation in various social structures. Folk-singing performance represents itself the unity of the past, the present and the future. Nowadays the functional space of folk-singing performance has changed because some functions are lost absolutely. The character of others has also changed. It is connected with the changes of people and their world view and the roles of folk-singing performance in social life, in the structure of musical art, in the field of Russian choral culture. Today folk-singing performance has raised to musical art and has no that semantic and world view meaning which existed during its close connection with people and their work and family life. Nowadays the functioning of folk-singing performance is formed according to the patterns of relationship belonging to art and aesthetic activity.
