Circassians (adyghe) ecological nature of music: the origins and concepts of ecological consciousness

In the conditions of the modern crisis, it is important to study the system «Man» – «Nature» – «Society» from the standpoint of environmental issues and, in particular, the ecology of music in various aspects: from noise pollution of the environment to the impact on health, the spiritual and psycho-emotional world of man.

In connection with the inclusion of environmental issues in the number of general cultural topics of the ХХI ^st century and in the system «Man» – «Nature» – «Society» in musical art, a «special» layer of musical texts is distinguished, embodying a specific sphere of imagery associated with environmental themes. The correlation process observed in these musical texts not only at the level of content, but also at the level of sound implementation determined the goal of this study was to identify the origins of the timbre-acoustic complex of means and semantic implementation of the figurative-symbolic sphere of music in the development of nature and natural material, which will allow us to determine the sound ideal, semantic multidimensionality and genetic predetermination of the origins of environmental music in the process of its inclusion in the «resonant space» of «pure» nature.

In order to express the inexpressible connection between ecology and music, we will resort to the method of suggestive visual-associative and timbre-acoustic perception of sounding music in combination with the ecological mythological consciousness of the Adyghe. In this regard, such a style of reasoning may sometimes not correspond to the established simplicity of the study.
