Singing through the Stages of its Development and The Context of its Aesthetics

Abstract

The focus of this research is aesthetic philosophical thinking about the art of singing and an attempt to reach its connotations and aesthetic secrets through the stages of its development and context and to identify its essence in interpreting its nature, value, function and impact on the recipient. This aesthetically drawn image, intertwined with a person’s material and physical needs, is interconnected with artistic awareness and in a way that reflects the creation of an artistic work that parallels his process of sensory perception. Therefore, it must accompany three stages, which are equivalent to the formation of the artistic process and its manifestations. In the first stage (elevation): the person must be satisfied until He philosophizes, to rise from material life, from the needs of the body, to devote himself to intellectual life, where he is concerned with mental aspects, such as the highest values, truth, goodness, and beauty. In the second stage (discovery), beauty is discovered in nature (in reality, in life) and then extracted. Enjoying it as spiritual nourishment is the condition of the ordinary human being. In the third and final stage, which is called the artistic process, the artist takes beauty, describes it in his psyche, then returns it as manufactured beauty, which is called art. This art is an act of renewed faith in the social, intellectual, and human values that a person feels, just like the artist, since the average person is ignorant of artistic expression. The artist is the one who highlights one of the aspects of beauty in those values as a declaration of confirmation of their importance.
