Abstract: The article by E. Chigareva is devoted to the phenomenon of the author’s song on the example of the work of the poet Vladimir Ilyushenko. Poems-songs are considered in parallel from the point of view of poetic devices and their reflection in the melody of songs. Particular attention is paid to the syntactic and compositional levels of poetic and musical organization, on which this similarity is especially noticeable (syntactic parallelism, various kinds of repetitions, sometimes modified lines and stanzas). The article raises the problem of the creative process and the peculiarities of its manifestation in the genre of art song. For this, the poet’s comments are used (in particular, an interview with Vladimir Ilyushenko). Analytical observations are supported by concrete examples.

Keywords: author’s song, musicality of poetry, creative process, syntactic parallelism, couplet form, song form, repetition of lines and stanzas, song principle
