Musical Heritage of the Kazakh People: a Historiographic Analysis

Historiographical analysis, that is, the study and evaluation of the musical heritage of the Kazakh people, is not only one of the basic elements of historical knowledge, but also an important section in Russian cultural studies, art history. Literally every piece of music has its own history of formation, its own language, poetics and other features. Each of them is an important historical source that describes the spiritual, social and material life of the Kazakh people. Musical culture has its own origins of formation, which reflect different events, phenomena and historical processes in the life of the Kazakh people. The origins of this phenomenon go back to ancient times. During the period of consolidation of the Kazakh people, the musical culture became unified and monotonous, but with bright, versatile patterns, depending on the regions and historical and cultural landscapes. Such a peculiar tradition has survived to the present time. In the era of tsarist Russia, the study of musical culture began. During the Soviet period, the works of the oppressed people were mainly studied, which was dictated by the Marxist-Leninist ideas of the class struggle. During the period of independence, unique samples of Kazakh musical creativity became part of the world culture, thus proving the possibility of coexistence of folk heritage in the era of globalization along with other values. Research works in this area are becoming more numerous every year, they require a historiographical review and show the need to systematize scientific research.
