Eduard Artemyev’s music for Tarkovsky’s films

My analysis of Artemiev’s music for three of Tarkovsky’s films led me to the following conclusions. The first and perhaps most important is the realisation of the role played by the director as co-composer in this case. Tarkovsky influenced almost all parameters of the musical substance of his films. The process of visualising music in the director’s films is a phenomenon that flows quite naturally into the modern cultural context, given the deepening of the specific interaction between cinema and music as a whole in the 1960s to 1980s. It is very important here that the focus in the artistic system of the films is placed on the music of J.S. Bach. The interpretation of Bach’s music in Tarkovsky’s films gives rise to the emergence of an entire artistic field of attraction associated with the Baroque era.
