Vasiliy Antipov Symphony
This symphony represents the first large-scale application of new concept of Integrated Forms and the fractalization of musical architecture. Rather than treating musical form as a sequence of isolated sections, the work is built as a hierarchy of interconnected structural levels. Similar organizational principles operate simultaneously on both the global and local scales, allowing musical processes to develop in a self-similar manner throughout the composition.
The symphony therefore serves not only as an artistic work but also as a practical demonstration of a new approach to musical form, developed and described in my research publications.
Video Lecture
On the Further Development of Integrated Forms
This lecture introduces the theoretical principles behind the symphony. It explains the concept of Integrated Forms, demonstrates how fractal organization can be applied to musical structure, and presents numerous examples taken directly from the score. The lecture is intended for composers, music theorists, conductors, and anyone interested in contemporary approaches to musical form.
Complete Symphony
MIDI Performance with Full Score
This video presents the complete symphony as a synchronized MIDI performance accompanied by the full orchestral score.
Following the notation while listening allows the viewer to observe how the theoretical concepts discussed in the lecture are realized in an actual composition, making it easier to understand both the musical processes and the large-scale architecture of the work.
Score & Performance Materials
Here you can download the complete performance materials for the symphony. The package includes the full conductor’s score in a high-resolution A3 print format, together with the complete set of orchestral parts prepared for A4 printing. The opening section of the score provides a detailed introduction to the concept of Integrated Forms, explaining the structural principles of the composition and illustrating them through numerous examples taken directly from the symphony.
The publication is available in English, German, and Russian, allowing performers, conductors, composers, and researchers to explore both the work itself and its underlying theoretical foundation.
