Abstract

Tragedy is an important aesthetic form. And the tragic spirit is a sense of tragedy reflected by both the artist and the artistic work. On the one hand, the tragedy spirit of Shostakovich's vocal cycle comes from the aesthetic preference of the Russian nation, traditional art and the unfortunate fate of the composer himself, and on the other, it is also expressed via the description of death, pessimistic love and the suffering of life. The various composing techniques are the most reliable communication tool for the tragedy spirit of vocal cycle.
