Rezumat. TENDINȚE SINCRETICE ÎN ARTA VOCALĂ ȘI CORALĂ CONTEMPORANĂ DIN EUROPA OCCIDENTALĂ: PROVOCAREA DE ASTĂZI. Aspectele abordate în articol au dovedit actualitatea cercetării. În special analiza artei vocale și corale contemporane vest-europene a prezentat semnificațiile încorporate în opera muzicală, dialogul interactiv programat în sistemul autor-interpret, ascultători, demonstrând clar tendințele sincretice ale acesteia în condițiile moderne de dezvoltare. Articolul relevă caracteristicile esențiale ale tendințelor sincretice ale artei vocale și corale contemporane vest-europene, și indică semnificația acestora pentru întreaga societate. Prim-planul cercetării vizează activarea nu doar a stăpânirii creative a anumitor limite, ci și extinderea limitelor experienței personale. Scopul cercetării este atins, și anume mecanismul de integrare a creativității reprezentanților artei muzicale contemporane vest-europene în raport cu spațiul artistic este dezvăluit pe exemplul creativității compozitorului italian Sciarrino, al compozitorului italian Berio, și al compozitorului și pianistului spaniol Simarro. Este prezentată o acoperire retrospectivă a istoriei gândirii muzicologice în științele umaniste europene, sunt identificate tendințele sincretice în arta vocală și corală modernă vest-europeană. Discursul acesteia este propus ca o provocare pentru prezent. Studiul a implicat următoarele metode de cercetare: observația și conversația. Rezultatele obținute în urma cercetării pot fi utilizate în continuare ca model dezvoltat de formare a tezaurului vocal și coral, care este în concordanță cu starea actuală a muzicii, în special a culturii vocale și corale. Analiza particularităților stării actuale a artei corale în Europa de Vest în secolul XX - începutul secolului XXI este un domeniu promițător pentru cercetări ulterioare.
