The theme of childhood in contemporary musical art has evolved into a distinct and multifaceted cultural sphere. Despite its apparent simplicity and accessibility, the theme of childhood often arises in complex psychological and philosophical contexts, becoming an integral part of serious artistic concepts. In terms of content, the theme of childhood in art belongs to the category of ‘eternal’ themes. This article is dedicated to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Children’s Album, which reflects the philosophical, aesthetic, and social ideas of its time. The article analysed the definition of the concept of ‘modernity’ proposed by Jean-François Lyotard and Thierry de Duve. This definition defines modernity as a period that follows the postmodern stage of innovation, struggle, and contradictions. Using Tchaikovsky’s Children’s Album as an example, the article examined the transition from postmodernity to modernity. This analysis reveals a parallel between Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ideas about language and the process of learning language practice through musical impressions. Keywords: Tchaikovsky, Wittgenstein, Language Practice, Modernity, Postmodernity, Interpretation.

The paper sought to present a compositional style of J. P. Johnson emanating from a consensus of three of his choral art compositions. The paper also presented a background of J.P. Johnson tracing his musical background, influences and development as an astute Ghanaian art music composer. Data was collected through interviews and music score analysis. The selected songs were analysed to bring to the fore techniques of traditional indigenous Ghanaian music idioms employed in J. P. Johnson’s Wɔnhyɛ Twerampɔn Enyimnyam (Tell Ye the Glory), Wonyi Ewuradze Ayɛ (Let us Praise God) and Da Yi Na Ewuradze Ahyehyɛ (this is the Day the Lord has made). The analytical parameters adopted for the study included melody, harmony, rhythm, and form. The paper examined J. P. Johnson’s exploration of traditional idioms such as call-and-response phrasings, repetition, text-tune relationships, and parallel thirds in his creativity. These compositional techniques depict his cultural belief as an African composer with knowledge of Western music tradition. Keywords: Compositional Styles, Identity, Generation, Choral Art, Re-labelling, and Language.
本文试图从j·p·约翰逊的三首合唱艺术作品的共识出发，呈现他的作曲风格。本文还介绍了j·p·约翰逊作为一位精明的加纳艺术音乐作曲家的音乐背景、影响和发展。通过访谈和乐谱分析收集数据。对选定的歌曲进行了分析，以突出传统加纳土著音乐习语的技巧，这些习语在J. P.约翰逊的《告诉你荣耀》、《Wonyi Ewuradze Ay》和《Da Yi Na Ewuradze Ahyehy》中使用。该研究采用的分析参数包括旋律、和声、节奏和形式。本文考察了j·p·约翰逊在创作中对传统习语的探索，如呼叫-反应短语、重复、文本-曲调关系和平行三分法。这些作曲技巧描绘了他作为一个了解西方音乐传统的非洲作曲家的文化信仰。关键词:作曲风格，身份，生成，合唱艺术，重新标签，语言。
