Introduction

The oldest mentions of the Mokshans and Erzyans date back to the era of Herodotus, who mentions them under the names of Androphagi and Tissaget, describing their role in the Scythian-Persian war in 512 BC. uh... Later, the Mokshans play a role in the history of the Khazar Kaganate, the principalities of Vladimir-Suzdal and Ryazan, and the Erzyans in the history of Volga Bulgaria and Nizhny Novgorod. According to research by Finnologists based on the study of language, the Mokshans and Erzyans once experienced the cultural influence of the Sarmatians, Khanty, Huns, Germans, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Khazars, and later the Tatars and Slavs who neighbored them at different times. According to archaeological data, during the period of their ancient history the Mokshans inhabited the lands in the upper reaches of the Don River to Moksha and Khopr, and the Erzyans inhabited the Volga and Oka basin; further to the east they settled in later times, mainly retreating before the Russians. Clashes with the Erzyans began among the Russians in 1103, when the news of the attack of the Murom prince Yaroslav Svyatoslavich on the Erzyans was recorded in the chronicle: “...Yaroslav fought with Mordva in the month of March on the 4th day and Yaroslav was defeated.” In the 13th century, the Russians began to overcome the “Purgas Mordovians” (Erzyans), especially after the founding of Nizhny Novgorod.

The campaigns of the Russian princes against the Burtases, the alliance of Alans and Mokshans date back to 1226. In 1226-1232, Yuri Vsevolodovich conducted a number of successful campaigns in the lands of the Burtases. The Tatar invasion significantly weakened the Erzya lands and subjugated them to the Tatar Murzas, the Moksha kingdom became a vassal of the Mongols, and most of the male population in the Puresh army died during the Mongols' campaign in Central Europe. In 1237, the Erzya land was completely devastated by Batu.

In 1377, the Erzyans, under the command of the Horde prince Arapsha, defeated the Nizhny Novgorod people and the troops of the Moscow prince Dmitry Ivanovich on the Pyana River. This pogrom did not stop Russian colonization, and the subjugation of the Erzyans to the Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan and Moscow princes proceeded gradually starting from the end of the 14th century.

The Temnikov prince Enikeev with his subordinate Mokshans and Meshchera took part in Grozny’s campaign against Kazan. After Ivan IV’s campaigns against Kazan in the 1540s, the Moksha and later Erzya noble families swore allegiance to the Moscow prince. After the conquest of Kazan, part of the Erzyan lands was distributed to the boyars; the rest temporarily became part of the royal Mordovian estates, but were then distributed to monasteries and landowners, mainly with the aim of converting the local population to Christianity. Next to the Russian landowners, the Meshchera and Moksha noble families owned lands, converted to Christianity and retained their title (for example, the princes Bayushevs, Razgildeevs, Enikeevs, Mordvinovs and many others). Submission to Moscow was expressed primarily in the seizure of land and the imposition of heavy taxes on the local non-Russian population, which, apparently, was the reason for the participation of the Mokshans and Erzyans in many riots and uprisings (from the era of the first impostor to Pugachev), as well as the flight to the East. The Erzyans took an active part in the uprising of Stenka Razin, and later, both the Mokshans and the Erzyans - in the uprising of Emelyan Pugachev.

Already in the first half of the 17th century. Mokshans and Erzyans moved beyond the Volga, and in the 18th century. widely distributed throughout the Samara, Ufa and Orenburg provinces. Those who remained in their former places were increasingly subject to Russification, mainly due to forced mass baptism (especially in the first half of the 18th century). The converts did not understand the new religion, and the more zealous pagans tore off their crosses and destroyed icons; then troops were sent against them and the perpetrators were punished and even sentenced to burning for sacrilege. Attempts to resurrect the “old faith,” albeit in a different form, already imbued with Christian concepts, were repeated among the Erzyans at the beginning of the 19th century. (“Kuzma Alekseev”). Nevertheless, the Mokshans and Erzyans were increasingly exposed to Russification, but beyond the Volga, on new soil, this Russification proceeded more slowly than on the indigenous lands of the Mordovians; Among the Erzyans, schismatic sects “People of God”, “Interlocutors”, “Molokan”, etc. are developed. In the indigenous region of the Mokshans, Russification also made major progress; many villages have lost their former names and cannot be distinguished from Russian ones. Moksha more firmly retains its characteristics in the north of the Penza province, in Krasnoslobodsky, Narovchatsky and Insarsky; but even here, groups of their villages, surrounded by Russians, are increasingly exposed to Russian influence, which is favored by the improvement of communications, the destruction of forests, and waste industries.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the total number of Mokshans and Erzyans numbered more than 1 million people and they lived in the provinces of Ryazan, Voronezh, Tambov, Penza, Nizhny Novgorod, Simbirsk, Kazan, Samara, Saratov, Ufa, Orenburg, Tomsk, Akmola, Yenisei and Turgai. In 1917, their number was estimated at 1,200 thousand people; according to the 1926 census, 237 thousand Mokshans and 297 thousand Erzyans lived on the territory of the Penza, Nizhny Novgorod and Ulyanovsk provinces, which later became part of the Mordovian autonomy, in total in the Volga region and in the Urals there are 391 thousand Mokshans, 795 thousand Erzyans, in the Barnaul district there are 1.4 thousand Mokshans and 1.4 thousand Erzyans, also 5.2 thousand Russified Mokshans and Erzyans called themselves the ethnonym “Mordovians”.

The size of the Mordovian population (Mokshas and Erzyans) by region of the RSFSR in 1926.

In 1937, the total number of Mokshans and Erzyans was 1249 thousand, in 1939 - 1456 thousand, in 1959 - 1285 thousand, in 1979 - 1191.7 thousand people. According to the 1989 microcensus, the number of Mokshans and Erzyans in the USSR was 1153.9 thousand people. (most Mokshans and Erzyans lived in the Soviet Union), of which 1072.9 thousand people lived in the Russian Federation, including 313.4 thousand people living in the Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which accounted for 32.5% of the population of the republic. According to Ethnologue data for 2000, the number of Mokshans was 296.9 thousand people, the number of Erzyans was 517.5 thousand people. Data from the 2002 Russian Population Census give the total number of Mokshans and Erzyans living in Russia, which amounted to 843.4 thousand people, including 283.9 thousand people in Mordovia. (32% of the republic’s population).

Considering these data, I would like to believe that the Erzya and Moksha people, resisting the Russification and change of the Republic, city or country, would always remember their history and would never disappear altogether; so that any Erzyan or Moksha citizen, when answering the question of what nationality he is, speaks the truth without shame or regret!

In my course work, I talk about the settlement of the Erzi Mordovians and the Moksha Mordovians on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia, as well as the classification of musical genres and the existence of Russian songs in rural villages.


1. Settlement of Mordovians-Erzi and Mordovians-Moksha on the territory of the Republic of Moldova

The Republic of Mordovia is located in the center of the European part of Russia in the Volga River basin, at the crossroads of the most important routes from the Center to the Urals, to Siberia, the Volga region, Kazakhstan and Central Asia (see map No. 1). The territory of the republic is 26.2 thousand square meters. km. The length from west to east is about 280 km (from 42°12" to 46°43" east longitude) from north to south from 55 to 140 km (from 53°40" to 55°15" north latitude). It borders in the north with Nizhny Novgorod, in the east with Ulyanovsk, in the south with Penza, in the west with Ryazan regions and in the northeast with Chuvashia (see diagram No. 2).

The republic is divided into 22 administrative regions. There are seven cities on its territory: Saransk, Ruzaevka, Kovylkino - republican subordination, Ardatov, Insar, Krasnoslobodsk, Temnikov - regional. The capital of the republic is Saransk (317 thousand people), located 600 km from Moscow. The settlement system in Mordovia was initially dispersed due to the landscape and historical features of the territory. This is due to the inclusion of Russians and Tatars in the traditional area of ​​settlement of the Mordovians (Erzi and Moksha), as well as the active participation of the Mordovians in the economic development of the territory of Russia. The modern spatial framework of settlement is characterized by polarization. More than 45% of the population is concentrated in a 30-kilometer zone around the administrative capital of Mordovia - Saransk.

2. Genre classification of Erzya folk songs

Musical culture is an integral part of every people, which have distinctive features characteristic only of their language group, related to one or another habitat, be it Karelians, Finns, Estonians, Udmurts, Maris, Tatars, Chuvashs, etc. Mordovians - Erzya and Mordovians - Moksha are no exception. Located on the banks of the Moksha, Insar and Sura rivers, Mordovia is rich in many rituals and customs, overflowing with an abundance of national instrumental music. Just like in all other cultures, the songs of the Mordovians - Erzi are divided into genres. Boyarkin N.I. dealt with this issue in Mordovia. In his collection “Monuments of Mordovian native musical art”, volume 3, he presents to our attention the following genre classification of Erzya songs:

1. Sokiqian–viditian morot (songs of plowmen and sowers – calendar songs)

Kolyadan Morot (carols)

Mastyan Morot (Shrovetide)

Tundong Morot (spring songs)

Pizemen seeremat (rain cries)

2. Semiyaso eryamo morot dy avarkshnemat (songs of family life and laments)

Wedding Morot (wedding songs)

Kuloz lomande laishemat (lamentation for the dead)

Wedding laishemat (wedding laments)

Recruitto avarkshnemat (cry for recruits)

3. Liyatne morot (other songs)

Lavsen Morot (lullabies)

Tyakan nalksemat morot (children's play songs)

Kuzhon morot (circular songs)

Ease the Morot (long songs)

And now I would like to go through all these genres separately. In the second section, everything is very clearly formulated, and one can quite agree with this interpretation. But in the first section, I believe that there are not enough songs of the Christmas house and songs of the harvest; they should also be placed in the genre table as separate items, since these songs are not isolated and are also of great interest to folklorists. As for the third point, many controversial issues arise here. First of all, what are these other songs? Doesn't this group deserve a more accurate name? Well, at least, for example, not timed, as in Russian folklore. Secondly, this group is too small and does not give a complete picture of all the “other” songs. There are a lot of Erzi songs that tell about the difficult life of a woman (about being married to a baby, about the difficult burden that fell on the shoulders of a daughter-in-law, etc.), about historical events (about the structure of the city of Kazan, about Stepan Razin, etc. .).

Thus, I would like to slightly expand this genre table for a more accurate idea of ​​all types of songs existing on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.

Now I would like to take an even deeper look at one of the subgroups of calendar songs - spring songs. I chose it because here I also have controversial issues.

Among spring songs, professor of Moscow State University. N.P. Ogareva Nikolai Ivanovich Boyarkin, distinguishes: Mastyan morot, Tundon redyamat morot and Pozyarat.

Mastyan Morot (Shrovetide songs) were usually sung by children. They are similar to the chants of tyakan nalksema morot (children's play songs). They were performed by groups in the tradition of heterophony, close to monody.

Example No. 1

With. Old Vechkanovo Isaklinsky district

Kuibyshev region

1. Gimme gimme pachalkse Gimme gimme damn

Give me a piece of pancake Give me a piece of pancake!

2. Chikor – lakor ezem chire Chikor – lakor end of the bench

Chikor - ezem bruske Chikor - bench brusche!

Example No. 2

With. Old Baytermish, Klyavlinsky district

Kuibyshev region

1. Mastian chi, paro chi! Pancake Day, good day!

Saik saik yakshamont! Take it, take it cold!

2. Saik saik yakshamont! Take it, take it cold!

Panic panic yakshamont! Drive away, drive away the cold!

3. Wai’s fur coat is worn out, Wai’s fur coat is worn out,

We'll put on our hat, We'll wear out our hat,

Wow, varginem kalads, Wow, your mittens are worn out,

Let's get busy! Wow, my felt boots are worn out!

In these examples, we see that these are either shouted or patter songs. A poetic stanza usually consists of 2 six-seven-syllable stanzas and is intoned at the ambitus of a second, third, and less often a fourth. In the melostrophe of the 2nd partial form, the parts are either contrasting (AB - example No. 1) or constructed according to a standard formula (AA1A2A3... - example No. 2). The plot of these songs is usually simple. The songs ask for: pancakes, which symbolize the sun, or for Maslenitsa to take away the cold. Since Maslenitsa songs are very similar to children's play songs, they sometimes use words that are not related to each other and words that do not make sense. (example No. 1 verse 2. Chikor - Lakor can be compared with the Russian expression tritatushki tritata, and the words - the end of the bench, the bench, are its complement). This results in a non-meaningful set of words.

The next group of songs is Moro Tundon redyamat (song of spring signs). In terms of melody, these songs are more varied than Mastyan Morot, and they were already sung by the older generation in two, three, or even several voices.

This is a more measured song, sung at a moderate tempo in Dorian h minor. It contains jumps at uv4, ch5. The upper voice here initiates and is the leader, and the lower one performs a supporting function, although it also does not always stand still. The range of the song is not great: within a major sixth. The architecture is unbalanced. There are also characteristic unisons in the middle and at the end of the song. Basically, songs of signs of spring have a question-and-answer form.

And finally, the last subgroup of songs, performed to this day and causing some controversy among folklorists - pozyarki or pozyarama.

In my opinion, it would be wrong to call this group that way (classification by N.I. Boyarkin). It gets its name from a frequently repeated meaningless word, despite the fact that there are songs with the same word related to other times of the year.

Here are some of them:

And the poser is the poser

With. Old Yaksarka, Shemysheysky district, Penza region .

And pozyara pozyara! And pozyara pozyara!

Wheat is behind the threshing floor! Wheat is behind the threshing floor!

Who walks along the edge? -Who will reap her?

Lida walks along the edge. - Lida is reaping her.

Who's coming for her? -Who is behind her?

Peter follows her. - Peter is standing behind her.

And pozyara pozyara!

Wheat is behind the threshing floor!

Who knits the sheaves?

Lida knits sheaves.

Who stacks the sheaves?

Peter stacks the sheaves.

And the poser is the poser

Kameshkirsky district

And pozyara pozyara pozyara

Behind the threshing floor, wheat, wheat.

Who will reap her, her?

Avdotya is reaping her, her.

Who walks along the edge, along the edge?

Peter walks along the edge, along the edge.

Oh Avdotyushka, God help you, God help you.

Oh Petenka thank you, thank you.

If you want to take “me,” then take it, take it.

If you want to leave, then leave, leave!

These two songs clearly refer to the harvest period, and are in no way spring songs, although they are called pozyarks. Therefore, to be more precise in the title, these songs should be called Tundon pozyarat ( Spring poses).

Now, again turning to the works of N.I. Boyarkin, we can find that pozyarki stand out to them as reproach songs. We can find the same definition in L.B. Boyarkina: by calling them korilnye, we thereby emphasize their ancient function, thematic circle, association with the time of year - this is all the explanation and no further evidence follows.

Having examined the texts of the poems, we will see that their plot clearly does not belong to the group of coril songs, but, on the contrary, glorifies a spring day (the red sun, warming the earth and awakening all living things, is shown in the form of an egg yolk; the singing of the nightingale, which is the constant messenger of spring and etc.).

Speaking about the musical analysis of these songs, one can notice that they are very similar to Tundon redyamat morot (songs of the signs of spring) in the intervallic composition and relationships that arise within the work. Pozyarki musically are built according to a standard formula with minor improvisational changes. Their distinctive feature from all other songs is that at the beginning of each stanza the same meaningless word - posera - is repeated, and at the end unisons do not always appear, which is not very typical for Erzya musical folk art.

And concluding, I would like to say that when considering the genre table of different nations, you should not blindly believe everything that is included in them. You should familiarize yourself with the works characteristic of the people being studied, and only then look at the genre classification presented for public viewing.

3. The originality of Erzya and Moksha songs

Many books and scientific articles have been written about the differences between Mordovians-Erzi and Mordovians-Moksha. Unfortunately, Erzya and Moksha songs are not mentioned anywhere among the differences. If a song is sung in Moksha, then it is Moksha, if a song is sung in Erzya, then it is Erzya. In books, the most that can be found are the main signs Mordovian song in general, without specifying the nationality. A lot of scientific articles are devoted to analyzing the differences Mordovian song and Russian, Mordovian song and Tatar, Mordovian song and Udmurt, etc.

Is it really possible that, apart from differences in language, costume, rituals, and customs among the Erzyans and Mokshans, there are no specifically different features in the songs?

Let's look at two spring songs at once: the first is Moksha, the second is Erzya. The Moksha song mainly has a sharp sound due to the parallel seconds on which the work is deliberately built. In the Erzya song, everything is again much simpler: although there are second-to-second ratios, they are listened to very melodiously throughout the entire song, without standing out from the general mass of sound.

You can continue to give examples of Erzya and Moksha songs, but it seems that I am already ready to answer the question asked earlier. I have reviewed all the works included in the collection of Mordovian songs by Suraev - Korolev, and what happens? It turns out that Erzya songs are much simpler in sound than Moksha songs. Their texture is more transparent and without sharp harmonies. While the Mokshans admire unexpected chords and density of sound, the Erzyans at this time enjoy stretching out empty intervals and free texture. And now I can say for sure that by ear you can still distinguish an Erzya song from a Moksha song without listening to the words and without knowing the genre.

4. The existence of Russian songs in Mordovian villages

Until recently, Russian folklore of Mordovia attracted the attention of scientists mainly in connection with the study of Russian-Mordovian folklore relations, which became the subject of consideration since the 19th century. A.V. devoted a special work to the analysis of Russian-Mordovian relations in history and in the field of folk poetry. Markov. He noted that Russian and Mordovian folklore have a lot in common, but he explained the emergence of this commonality either only by the influence of Russian folklore on Mordovian, or Mordovian on Russian, while the commonality and similarity can also be determined by historical and genetic factors.

The coexistence of national and Russian songs in the oral repertoire of the Mordovian people is perceived as a common phenomenon. A Russian song is often performed after a Mordovian song and vice versa. We can say that in a number of villages these and other songs are perceived as their own - national, and the performers do not divide them into Mordovian and Russian. For example, the grandmothers who sang songs to me often assured me that the song they sang was Mordovian, when in fact it was Russian. Frequent performance of Russian songs developed among Mordovian performers the habit of feeling them as their own, especially since, having existed for a long time among the Mordovians, examples of Russian folklore often changed in form and language, acquired Erzya and Moksha words and even entire expressions.

We can continue to talk about the fact that more and more Mordovian songs are Russian, because after reviewing a huge amount of material on this topic, it turned out that many folklorists of Mordovia were dealing with this issue: L.B. Boyarkina, S.G. Mordasova, T.I. Volostnov, etc., not to mention the Russians.

All of them write in their works about the positive aspects and qualities of borrowing Russian songs from the Mordovians. I look at this a little less optimistically and enthusiastically.

Our ancient Mordovian culture is losing its “self” under the onslaught of Russian folk art.

Starting to consider the question of the existence of Russian song in villages, I do not want to repeat myself after other researchers of folklore, because too much has been written about this without me, I just want to say about the tragedy that will certainly follow all this:

We - Mordovians - Moksha and Mordovians - Erzya, being part of the Finno-Ugric people, are at risk of extinction of the national consciousness. Soon there will not be a single Mordovian song left in the repertoire of our village grandmothers - hence the extinction of the native language and the disappearance of Mordovian identity.

If in our time it is difficult for grandmothers to remember Mordovian songs, then what will happen in the future...


Conclusion

At present, the enormous role of musical folk art in the art of each country has long been recognized. Folk art found its most vivid and complete expression not in purely instrumental music, but in combining melody with words - in song. The song, which originated in its most primitive form many thousands of years ago, has steadily developed and evolved in close connection with the development of the culture of the people themselves, their way of life, language, thinking, which are reflected in both the lyrics and tunes. A collection of folk songs, the main result of the thousand-year history of most peoples.

Let us carefully preserve our property and take care of its survival. Preserve the treasures of folk musical culture, make them accessible to the general public, professional and amateur performing groups, provide additional material for the creativity of composers, as well as for pupils and students of special educational institutions.

I hope that this work will make you think and analyze the entire current situation that arose at the turn of the 2nd century and continues to this day.

Suppress their part is characterized by polytextual melodies of recitats. and recitative-song type, characterized by archaic melody (in many ways similar to similar tunes of Finnish-speaking peoples), rhythm, initially determined by the syncretism of word and tune, accompanying. to these tunes; poetic the texts are replete with archaic elements, many of them similar to f.-u. poetry - alliteration, word repetition, parallelism, figurative metaphors. substitutions and symbolism, connections. with mythological concept. A unique feature of the recitats. and recitative-song tunes is their performance with different pitch-registration and timbre-dynamic. shades that have important semantic meaning. direction. Among the tunes of a single form of song style inherent in the preem. lullabies and nursery rhymes, there are both historically early and very late, up to borrowings (2nd half of the 19th - early 20th century) from Russian. vocal and instrument. music.

MORDOVIAN FOLK INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. The syncretism of ancient art has been preserved to this day. Diverse in social functions (labor, ritual-ritual, aesthetic). It has a developed genre-style system and is organically connected. from tradition vocal music (see Mordovian folk vocal music) and mythological. concepts of ethnicity. It distinguishes between tunes and accompaniments for vocal performances of songs.

From tunes, connections. with the labor activity of society, the following are known: working rhythms - laconic, stable formulas, performed on special. percussion instruments (idiophones), sometimes accompanied by singing; hunting noises are rhythmically disordered. signals produced by struck, struck and scraped idiophones for the purpose of driving game to hunters; hunting melodic signals intoned on natural trumpets (m. toram, e. dorama) before the start and end of the hunt. The most developed among the Mordovians was the ritual instrument. music, in which there are 2 main differences. class of tunes: non-program and program. The first include widespread. in the recent past, polytimbre noise tunes accompanied episodes of family and calendar festivals, carnival processions, performed on trees. and metallic idiophones, timbre and dynamics were given decisive importance. The tunes were divided into panemat (from panems “to drive away”), which performed cathartic, and veshemat (from veshems “to ask”) - karpogonic. functions. Program tunes are characterized by a variety of genre types. The roots of the tunes go back to the ancient cults preserved among the Finno-Ugric peoples in mythology, song poetry and prose, choreographic. and applied art, ritual and entertainment forms of traditions. adv. theater They have stable program names, connections. with name cult animals, birds and sacred trees, which are often replaced by metaphors (old man bear, silver-winged swan, etc.; see Cult of trees, Cult of animals). According to the character and timbre of sound, figurative and thematic. content, musical-style features and forms of interaction with traditions. Songlike tunes form two genre groups: zoo- and ornithomorphic. Zoomorphic program-image. and onomatopoeic. character - ovton kishtemat (bear dances), in the past they were intoned on bagpipes and nudes, nowadays - on the violin and harmonica, accompanied by shaken metallics. and trees struck idiophones, as well as a mortar and pestle (a symbol of fertility). Performed at weddings and in the Christmas house. That means they were different. melodic improvisation. Ornithomorphic tunes of 3 genre types: guvan unamat (cooing of a dove), which symbolically reflected ancient forms of thinking; narmon seeremat (bird calling) - Maslenitsa calls of migratory birds, intoned on ocarina flutes; narmon kishtemat (bird dances) is the most developed type of ornithomorphic pieces, performed in the past on the nyudi, garzi and gaiga, and now on the violin, balalaika and harmonica accompanied by dancing in the Christmas House. The structure-forming function in them is performed by melodic-rhythmic. Components.

Among other genre types is a ritual instrument. music, most preserved among the Mordovians-Shoksha and Erzi, tunes of a symbolically programmatic nature pazmorot (from paz “patron”, Moro “song, tune”), which existed in the Ozks, dedicated. animistic sacred cults trees and water. The latter, along with the main function - the propitiation of Vedyava - other elements of magic are also inherent, for example. cleansing after the wedding night. Pazmorot, based on the nature of performance and musical-style features, are divided into dance (connected with the cult of water) and drawn-out (connected with sacred trees), which also include songs under the same names.

From a non-ritual instrument. 2 genre types of music are known: wanyqian morot (shepherd songs), a type of music-philosophy. tool. lyrics, and one morot (songs of youth). The first ones are intoned in nude; according to music the warehouse are improvisations based on drawn-out and dance tunes, as well as melodic signals. The second ones are performed at circle games, gatherings and autumn scatterings on nyudi, garzi, gaiga; their program names. similar to the name plays f.-u. and Turk. peoples, communications with the names of girls and boys, animals, everyday life.

In modern In the everyday life of the people, tunes and borrowings are common. from neighboring peoples: Russians, Tatars, Chuvash. Tool. music significantly influenced the formation of song melody and polyphony, ethnicity. timbre ideal (see Mordovian folk polyphony). Lit.: Boyarkin N.I.

Known idiophones are: kaldorgofnema (m.), kalderdema (e.). There are 4 common types. The colliding idiophone is a smoothly planed maple board, length. 170-200 mm, wide. 50-70 mm, thickness. OK. 10 mm with handle length. 100-120 mm, dia. 20-30 mm. 2 small maple plates were attached to both sides of the handle using strips of rawhide. The struck idiophone is a 4-sided box made of solid wood (linden, maple, birch) on Wed. dl. 170-200 mm, wide. 100-120 mm with handle at the bottom length. 100-150 mm. To harsh tar. rope, attached from above by a leather strap; a piece of oak knot, lead or an iron nut was suspended from the outside.

A piece of wood was attached to the top of the cylinder and handle. rectangular frame long. 250-300 mm, width. 100-150 mm or later - metallic. bracket several smaller in size, in the middle of the cut a flexible tree was tightly strengthened. vibrator plate (kel). In order for it to hold better and be springy, a transverse rod was attached in the middle of the frame, and a metal one was attached to the bracket. kernel. When the frame or bracket rotated around the beam (for which the performer made circular movements above his head), the plate jumped from one tooth to another, while emitting strong clicks, which at a fast pace turned into a crackling sound. Kalchtsiyamat (m.), caltsyaemat (e.) - 3, 5, less often 6 trees. ash plates of unequal length, fastened. bast or leather strap. When hitting wood plates.

One string, usually made of harsh tar, was pulled onto it. thin rope (thick rope), sheep or, less commonly, vein intestine. Between the board and the rope, at a distance of 200-250 mm, an inflated bovine or pork bladder was inserted, which served as a resonator. A bow-shaped bow made of willow or bird cherry twig (without a stretching mechanism) with stretched resin. with a harsh thread they made one low sound. Dance tunes were performed on the instrument in an ensemble with other instruments (puvamo, garzi), where the gatiyama was assigned the role of a bass rhythmic instrument.

The second type was rings of linden bark, inserted. into each other and sealed with wood glue in the form of an expanding tube. To eliminate gaps, the seams of the tube were doused with varnish. Dl. tool length ranged from 500 to 800 mm. A small cup-shaped recess was made on the narrow side, or in later versions, metal was occasionally inserted. mouthpiece.

And once in this musical instruments live in the country, which means that both sounds and magic live in it music. Do you hear? Sounds Mordovian music.

Today we will visit City of Musical Instruments. Guys, do you know that instruments are different?

There are drums musical instruments, the sound comes from hitting instrument, such as a drum, wind instruments - they sound when they are blown, these are a pipe, a flute, a trumpet; strings - consist of strings that are played with bows or plucked with fingers. (picture displays). Among Mordovian musical instruments, the most common are the mallet (shavoma-M., chavoma - E., wooden xylophone (calcciamate - M, calceyamat-E, bells (paygonyat - M, bayaginet - E, jew's harp - M, E, violin (garze, arrow - M , kaiga - E, flutes (vyashkoma - M, veshkema - E); bagpipes (fam, ufam - M, puvama - E, trumpet (dorama, torama - M). Borrowed ones are sometimes mentioned tools, for example, an accordion.

And to get to know each other better Mordovian musical instruments, I'll tell you a fairy tale. And you will help me.

One musician entered the house with a large box. There were different musical instruments. He took out from it a bell, spoons, rattles, a drum, whistles, bells and many others.

Tomorrow is my son's birthday and you will all come in handy.

Night fell, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in the silence. ratchets:

Fuck-fuck-fuck. I wonder which of us the birthday boy will choose?

The drumsticks jumped up and beat out a short roll on the drum.

Tram-there-there! What is this tool - ratchets? Wooden planks attached to a cord. There's a lot of cod and no music. Of course the boy will choose the drum. He will be able to march and dance to my fight.

Ding-dong, ding-dong,” the bell began to get excited, “from you, drum, there is only beat and noise, but I can ring merrily, so I’m better suited for dancing.”

Tra-ta-ta, ding-ding-ding, - the spoons entered into the conversation. – You are mistaken if you think that spoons are not musical instruments. We are made of the most musical tree - maple and we can click very loudly, and the tinkling of bells decorates our music.

Don't make noise kids, look what this is musical instruments? - a huge drum standing in the corner hummed angrily.

Ding-dong! And they are not at all like us. - the bell was surprised.

We are your relatives - we Mordovian folk instruments.

Musical instruments made noise, became quiet and fell asleep. They woke up from cheerful laughter and stomping. Children came to visit the boy. Their hands were quickly torn apart musical instruments, and the fun began. All tools started playing their tunes.

Fuck-bang-bang - the rattles were crackling.

Tram-tom-tom—the drumsticks beat.

Ding-dong! - the bell rang.

Tra-ta-ta, ding-ding-ding - the spoons were talking.

Then the boy's father entered. He took Mordovian instruments, showed the children how to play them. The guys took everything tools and the general fun began.

We are all from the same family musical instruments, and we have our own names.

My name is beater!

And I am a cheerful whistler.

“I’m nude,” said the sad pipe!

We don’t need to argue,” the accordion stirred the bellows, and that’s all the instruments agreed with her!

Erzi folk musical instruments are monuments of the traditional musical culture of the ethnic group. They influenced the origin and development of many forms of traditional music.

Based on the vibrator (sound source), the main classes of Erzya instruments are idiophones (self-sounding), chordophones (strings) and aerophones (wind instruments).

Known idiophones are:

Calderdema.
There are 4 common types.

Collided idiophone- smoothly planed maple board 170-200 mm long, 50-70 mm wide, about 10 mm thick with a handle 100-120 mm long, 20-30 mm in diameter. 2 small maple plates were attached to both sides of the handle using strips of rawhide.
The struck idiophone is a 4-sided box made of solid wood (linden, maple, birch) on average 170-200 mm long, 100-120 mm wide with a handle at the bottom 100-150 mm long. A piece of oak knot, lead or an iron nut was suspended from the outside on a harsh tarred rope, attached at the top by a leather strap.
Strikeable idiophone- a hollow, cylindrical or 4-, 6-, 8-sided box made of solid wood, open at one end, with a handle (same as the 2nd type). Unlike the 2nd type, a piece of wood or iron was suspended inside the box.
Scraper idiophone- smoothly planed cylindrical maple timber 100-150 mm long, 70-80 mm wide with a handle at the bottom and cut-outs along the edges of the cylinder with teeth. Attached to the top of the cylinder and handle was a wooden rectangular frame 250-300 mm long, 100-150 mm wide, or later a metal bracket of somewhat smaller dimensions, in the middle of which a flexible wooden vibrator plate (kel) was tightly fastened. In order for it to hold better and be springy, a transverse rod was attached in the middle of the frame, and a metal rod was attached to the bracket. When the frame or bracket rotated around the beam (for which the performer made circular movements above his head), the plate jumped from one tooth to another, making strong clicks, which at a fast pace turned into a crackling sound.

Calcemat - 3, 5, less often 6 wooden plates of ash of unequal length, fastened with bast or leather strap. When the plates were struck with wooden hammers or spoons, they produced sounds of different pitches. The timbre of the instrument resembled a xylophone.
Chavoma is a smoothly planed birch or spruce resonant board impregnated with a composition of pine resin (resin) and hemp oil, which was struck with wooden mallets or spoons. The ends of a belt were attached to the edge of the board (sometimes the board was covered with a belt for strength), by which it was hung either on the neck just below the chest, or on the arm or shoulder of the performer bent at the elbow - chavicya (“beater”).

Bayaga - a massive wooden board made of oak, birch with rounded corners, about 150 cm long, 40-50 cm wide, 12-15 cm thick. It was hung on a gate installed in the middle of the village on a hillock, and hit with an oak stick, a wooden hammer or a pestle , notifying residents about important events.

Bayaginet (shaken idiophone) - metal bells strung on a cord or hanging freely on a frame. According to archaeological and ethnographic data, the following types of bells are known: forged truncated-conical iron bells with a hemispherical tongue, strong ringing and a rich range of partial tones; hemispherical made of non-ferrous metals with a spherical reed, high register ringing; cylindrical with low sound; oblong in shape with an indefinite timbre. The instruments were used in ritual dances, forming a unique timbre-dynamic polyphony.

Lulyama - a rod (stick), on top of which they cut out a figurine in the form of a horse’s head and hung 5-7 bells and rattles from it. Accompanied by various rituals.

Dinnema - a heteroglotic harp, preserved to this day among the Karatais. It is a horseshoe-shaped iron plate with a flexible steel tongue in the middle. Mostly dance melodies were played on the instrument.

Among the chordophones known:

Gaidyama - a slightly bent birch or maple board, widening towards one end, 800-1,000 mm long, 120-150 mm wide at one end, which rested on the floor, and 30-50 mm at the other. One string was pulled onto it, usually from a harsh, tarred thin rope (thick drudge), sheep or, less commonly, gut. Between the board and the rope, at a distance of 200-250 mm, an inflated bovine or pork bladder was inserted, which served as a resonator. A bow-shaped bow made of a willow or bird cherry twig (without a stretching mechanism) with a stretched, tarred, harsh thread was used to produce one low sound. Dance tunes were performed on the instrument in an ensemble with other instruments (puvamo, kaiga), where the gaidyama was assigned the role of a bass rhythmic instrument. In an ensemble with a nuday, it was tuned to a bagpipe bass tube, resulting in a kind of “three-part bagpipe.”

Kaiga - lute (violin), having a total length of 615 mm, the length of the resonator box is 370 mm, the width at the lower end is 180 mm, the upper end is 155 mm. There were 3 triangular or round holes on the upper and lower boards of the instrument. The instrument had 3 horsehair strings and a bow without a hair tension mechanism. It was characterized by a fifth or fifth-octave system. Children's instruments were 2/3 the size of an ordinary kaiga.

Aerophones
- the most numerous class of Erzya instruments.
Seasonal ones were made mainly in the summer from plant stems, tree leaves (lopa, keels of tsyoks, sunday morama, olgon morama, zunderya, etc.).

Veshkema - a flute made of linden or willow bark, wood, as well as reed, less often - bird bone. There were 2 types.
Kuvaka vyashkema (long flute) 500-700 mm long. Usually 6 finger holes were cut out on it (weigel is boiled). Instrument without whistle device.
Nurkine vyashkema (short longitudinal flute) with or without 2-3 fingerboard holes and a whistle device. The flute has been known to the Erzya people since the Bronze Age.

Keven tutushk a - clay hollow whistle made of baked clay with or without 2 playing holes in the shape of birds, domestic and wild animals. It was used during calendar and family holidays for intoning program tunes. The instrument has been known since the beginning of the 1st millennium AD. e.

Nudey - a clarinet made of 2 hollow reed tubes about 200 mm long, 6-8 mm in diameter with vibrator reeds cut out on them about 20 mm long and 3 neck holes on each barrel. Both tubes were usually mounted in a wooden box, which was inserted into a cow or bull horn, which served as a resonator (sometimes a cone-shaped birch bark was used as a resonator). The instrument had a strong sound with a slight nasal tint and was distinguished by varied dynamics. It produced extended 2-voice drawn-out melodies and fast dance tunes. The Nudei type existed among the Erzyans in the middle of the 2nd millennium AD. e.

Puvamo
- bagpipes.
There are 2 known species.
The first had 2 melodic tubes made of reeds, corresponding in design and name to the nuday, and 2 bass tubes for extracting low bourdons.
The second - ozks puvamo - was used at molyans to perform ritual tunes. Unlike the first type, it did not have bass bourdons. The polyphons of Nudeya and Puvamo had a great influence on the formation of developed forms of Erzya folk polyphony.

Drama - signaling instrument.
Based on manufacturing technology, there are 2 types. The first was made from a birch or maple branch from 800 to 1,000 mm long, which was split longitudinally and the core was hollowed out from each half. Then both halves were applied and wrapped with birch bark. In this case, one side of the tube was made wider, the other narrower. The second type consisted of rings of linden bark inserted into each other and sealed with wood glue in the shape of an expanding tube. To eliminate gaps, the seams of the tube were doused with varnish. The length of the tool ranged from 500 to 800 mm. A small cup-shaped recess was made on the narrow side, or in later versions, a metal mouthpiece was occasionally inserted. Both species did not have vocal openings. The sounds of the overtone series were extracted on them.

Suro - trumpet made of bull or cow horn. The mouthpiece was either cut into the shape of a small depression or made from a spool of thread. In the latter case, one side of the coil was ground off, inserted into the hole of the horn, and a recess for the lips was made on the other. The syuro was used as a signaling instrument (by shepherds), as well as a ritual one, supposedly capable of driving away evil spirits.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the balalaika and harmonica, borrowed from the Russians, have entered the life of Erzyans everywhere.

Mordovian men often played musical instruments. Not a single holiday or event took place without musicians and playing instruments. These are: garze (m), kaiga (e) (violin); fam, ufam (m), puvama (e) (bagpipes); nyudi (m), nuday (e) (type of double clarinet). The Mordovian people believed that the most perky, cheerful and cheerful people are musicians, as evidenced by numerous songs and fairy tales. For example, in the Russian folk song “Kalinka-Malinka”, recorded by A.S. Pushkin in 1830, says:

I don't need it, mother.

No honey, no sugar,

No sweet apples

No honey gingerbread;

Bring me, mother,

Tatar with a violin,

Mordvina with bagpipes,

Single with pipes.

“Merry Hill” by M. Volkov – listening. The play, in its intonation basis, is based on the singing of the Moksha violin tune “Parkhtsi Pala” (“Silk Glistens”).

The teacher suggests choosing a rhythmic accompaniment for the play.

Topic: “Rostuvan kud holiday”

One of the brightest winter holidays among the Mordovians was the holiday of Roshtuv (Christmas), which was not associated with Christian Christmas, but was dedicated to the patron spirits of domestic animals, birds, bees and revered trees. It fell just on the day of the winter solstice - December 25th.

In the songs that were sung at the Roshtuva (Christmas) holiday, the word “Kolyada” appears. No one can describe Kolyada because no one has ever seen it. They only know that it comes during the Christmas holiday and brings people wealth, happiness, and health. People composed many songs - “carols”, special majestic congratulatory songs, in which they asked Kolyada to bring success and health to their families, an increase in harvest, and more livestock offspring. Shepherds, children, and youth sang carols as they walked around the yards and brought joy and celebration. With their songs, carolers invited satiety and wealth into the house.

The holiday "Roshtuvan kud" ("Christmas House") was one of the main agricultural holidays, celebrating fertility and abundance in the new year. The more people flocked to the “Christmas House,” which was rented for the entire period of celebration (from 10 to 14 nights, starting from the night of December 24 to 25), the stronger the effect of good wishes. It was also necessary to come neatly and smartly dressed.

The holiday began with songs in which patron spirits were addressed so that they would help increase the number of domestic animals and help grow a rich harvest. The first night was dedicated to the patron saint of pigs, so pork was always served, and the most respected people were presented with a boiled pig's head. The pig was considered sacred, embodying the fertility of the earth.

While the ritual meal of the elderly and the singing of songs lasted, the youth were engaged in solving riddles:

After lunch and solving riddles, the tables were cleared. All those present were divided into 2 groups: the first - “Rostuvan kudon kshtiykht” (dancers of the Christmas house) and the second - “Rostuvan kudon vanykht” (spectators of the Christmas house). The dancers were held in special esteem - their parents took pity on them and cared for them, fed them better and did not burden them with work during the Christmas holidays.

One of the most favorite games at the holiday was the game “Ofton kshtima”. The guy dressed up as a “bear”: for this he was dressed in a fur coat turned inside out, felt boots on his hands and feet, his face was stained with soot, and his eyes were blindfolded. At the same time they forced us to dance. “The bear was trampling, marking time, jumping awkwardly, swaying from one foot to the other.” The “bear’s” task is to catch one of the dancers in order to transfer his role to him. If he caught a girl, then a guy he knew would help her out.

Topic: “Winter gatherings”

When winter set in with blizzards, blizzards and frosts, the Mordovians’ favorite pastime during the long free evenings was winter gatherings. They gathered in a clean, spacious hut, lit a torch, which burned and crackled merrily, sang songs, danced, and competed in performing perky and mischievous ditties. They loved to compose and tell fairy tales about good and evil rich people, about animals, magical-fantasy and everyday ones. The characters in the magical fantasy tales were the pagan deities of the Mordovians - Viryava (patron, mistress and mother of the forest), Vedyava (patron, mistress and mother of water), Purginepaz (god of thunder), Nishkepaz (god of bees), Paksyava (patron, mistress and mother fields), as well as positive heroes (heroes) and negative ones (snakes, witches, evil king).

The men were engaged in wood carving and were famous for their skill. Their hands made wooden cups (noodles (m), wakan (e)), spoons, mugs, ladles, ladle (kechene (m), kolgan (e)), salt licks (saldorks (m)), spoon trays (for storing spoons) in the form of a silhouette of a bird floating on water, or a duck. The salt shaker with such an image was processed especially carefully, because had a symbolic meaning - profit for the house. And the dugout tub - par - was intended for a dowry. It was decorated with an ornament consisting of geometric shapes, combs, and imitations of Mordovian ancient jewelry.

While singing songs, the girls spun yarn; they were famous for their skill in embroidery. Linen items made up the bulk of the bride's dowry. Already from the age of six, girls, under the supervision of their mother, began to weave and embroider. Over the long autumn and winter evenings, the girl managed to prepare from 35 to 50 women's shirts, tablecloths, and towels for the wedding. (Show a reproduction of the painting by I. Sidelnikov “Mordovian embroiderers. Dowry”).

At the wedding, the prepared items were displayed for inspection, and the girl’s skill and skill were judged by them.

The song “Roman Aksya” (“Romanova Aksinya”) notes not only the girl’s skill, her diligence, dexterity, but also her beauty. Here the ideal of a girl is shown - the harmony of the external and internal world. Many demands were placed on the bride-to-be. Preference was given to being beautiful, strongly built, with a cheerful character, hardworking and neat. They also looked at the wealth of the family and the behavior of the parents. They said:

The ideal of a beauty: black eyes, like the color of bird cherry, rosy cheeks, slender, with good long hair, with endurance. strong legs. The gait should be firm, sweeping, similar to the “gait of a foal.”

Attention was also paid to how the dandy was dressed: her legs were wrapped first in linen, then in bleached woolen canvas; up to 12 scarves hung behind the belt; on the neck and arms - jewelry; 6 or 8 stripes are embroidered on the dress. (Show reproductions of paintings by Mordovian artists).

The entire costume was decorated with rich patterns. (Show reproductions of the costume and jewelry, name the details of the costume.) Pay attention to this point: the more embroidered stripes on the dress, the more hardworking and beautiful the girl was considered. And this was very labor-intensive work: women’s holiday shirts were decorated with embroidery on the forearms, sleeves, armpits, etc. Almost the entire costume was made by the girl’s hands, and by her clothes they judged her hard work, perseverance, neatness, and patience.

Mordovian women were very fond of various jewelry made from beads, beads, chains, coins, bells, and bells. And during the festive dances, all these ringing decorations served as musical accompaniment to the dance. There was even a proverb: “First you hear the muzzle, and then you see it.”

Topic: “Welcoming spring”

This quarter continues to introduce children to the traditions and rituals of the Russian and Mordovian peoples dedicated to welcoming spring.

The Mordovians dedicated many songs, riddles, and proverbs to spring, the sun, and birds.

Introducing children to the Erzya song “A sezyaka, sezyaka” (“Soroka, forty”). This song was sung at the holiday, which was very affectionately called Maslenitsa. They asked her for contentment, abundance, health. Her assistant was the Sun, omnipotent, reviving all living things to life. What should have been done to show that he was respected and relied on? People baked butter pancakes, burned circular fires, and danced in circles.

Birds brought spring on their wings - this is what our ancestors believed. And they created calls that “called” the early birds home. March 22 is the day of the vernal equinox. On this day they called for spring for the second time. And when the lawns were a little clear of snow, the Mordovian youth gathered to play. The participants were divided into 2 groups, both of which depicted flocks of larks. At first, the flocks “flyed” in a circle (in pairs), pretending to be children of birds, circling, flapping their “wings,” and resting. At the sign of the presenter, who imitated the singing of a bird (or played the whistle), the birds “took off” again. Suddenly the flocks met, joyfully greeted their “friends” and went on “vacation” together. During the “rest”, the larks competed in dancing, singing songs, etc. (according to N.I. Boyarkin).

In the spring, during the period from Maslenitsa to Easter (for 7 weeks), spring coril songs (pozyarat) were sung in Mordovian villages. Once upon a time, these songs were dedicated to the Mordovian patroness Viryava - the goddess of water, childbirth and fertility. The girls came to the river bank and sang songs. While performing these songs, the singers believed that the best singing was strong, loud singing. Mordovian singers were distinguished by their very emotional, strong singing. The main role was played by the lead singer, who led the main voice; the rest listened to her and carried on their own melody.

For a long time, the Mordovians have enjoyed special respect for the willow. The willow was the first to announce that nature would soon come to life and warmth would come. According to legend, willow had the ability to give health and vitality to people and animals. Palm buds were considered healing. They were given to chew for toothache and fever. Therefore, the Mordovians had a ritual of “willow whipping.” On March 21, “the willow turned silver,” and from March 21 to March 28 was Palm Week. The ritual was performed on Palm Sunday and was associated with the patroness of the spring wind and the mother of the willow - Varmava. The day before, on Saturday, they asked Varmava “for the health of the girls, to save them from bad fame, so that the bread would be produced, the cattle would multiply.” In the evening they gathered for a party, they also invited married guests... First they were treated, and then they were “chased” through the gauntlet: girls and boys stood in a row, whipped each guest with willow branches, and wished them health and family happiness amid laughter and cries.

Early on Sunday morning, when the sun was just rising and the first rays were gilding the roofs of houses, young people in groups walked around the houses and whipped sleeping children with willow branches. At the same time they sang:

They also whipped livestock with willow to keep them healthy. They whipped and sentenced (poems for improvisation):

Game "Verban whip".

Children stand in a circle. The leader runs with a willow in his hands and touches the children. At this moment, the children must jump: whoever does not have time to jump is the one who drives.

In order for the beautiful Spring to enter the Mordovian region as a full-fledged mistress, young people went to the river bank, sang songs, had fun, and praised Varmava (the patroness of the wind):

There were round dances here. Round dances are the oldest entertainment among different peoples. They were led when song, dance and play were not yet separated. Mordovians, like many other peoples, especially revered and loved the Sun. To appease the patron of the Sun, to show their admiration and love, people stood in a circle symbolizing the sun. People hoped that the good forces of nature would hear them and help them in their affairs.

Topic: “Journey to Musical Theater”

In Saransk there is a musical theater named after. I. Yaushev, on whose stage you can see opera performances, operettas, and ballets. It can be explained to the guys like this: “If speech, movement, gesture are combined with singing, then this is a musical stage work. In it, the artists sing more than they speak. And in the case when they sing everything they could say, it turns out to be an opera. It is composed by a composer based on a playwright's play. If the artists do not speak or sing at all, but express everything that needs to be said in movement, gestures and dance, then this is ballet. It is composed by a composer and choreographer. Each type of performing arts has its own types of theatre: dramatic theatre, opera and ballet theatre, musical comedy theater” (N.M. Sitnikova).

Illarion Maksimovich Yaushev is an Honored Artist of Russia and People's Artist of Mordovia, a talented singer and bass. His performances emotionally and lovingly sounded Mordovian folk songs in different parts of Russia. He created the image of Prince-voivode Archilov in the first Mordovian performance - the musical drama “Litova”.

Litova is a Mordovian girl, aka Alena Arzamasskaya, who came to Mordovian lands from Arzamas. She is Alena Temnikovskaya, who stood at the head of the popular uprising in Temnikov. Litova came from Stenka Razin with a “golden letter”, in which the peasant chieftain called on everyone to fight against the rich oppressors.

The play “Litova” was written by the Mordovian poet P.S. Kirillov, and the music was composed by L.P. Kiryukov. The premiere of the musical performance took place on May 27, 1943 at the Saransk Opera and Ballet Theater. The Great Patriotic War was going on, and the theater, with its performances, helped people find hope in an early victory.

Topic: “Beauty Birch”

Birch is one of the most beloved trees of the Mordovians. The birch was considered a sacred tree and they glorified it in their songs.

“Luganyasya kelunya” (“There is a birch tree in the meadow”) - singing. Demonstration and learning of dance movements.

May is the time of flowering, grass growth, bright sun. And on these days, filled with light, smells and warmth, the holiday “Trotsyan chi” (“Trinity Holiday”) took place. First, they went into the forest for the “Trinity tree” - a young birch tree, tore armfuls of flowers, young maple or birch branches. All this was necessary to decorate the home: flowers and grass were laid on the floor, windows were decorated with branches. By noon, families went to the field, where they sang songs and asked nature to help them grow a good harvest. At the same time, they threw the eggs up. Whoever throws higher should have a richer harvest. Around the “Trinity tree” they danced, sang and danced.

Topic: “Summer visit us”

When summer came to Mordovian land, the children rejoiced at the sunny days, the warm river, and the tan. We happily went into the forest to pick berries, mushrooms, sorrel and wild onions. They ran through the streets and invited warm and quiet rain. They loved to process peas and sunflowers, feed chickens, goslings, guard and graze them.

In the summer, Mordovian children made toys for themselves from wood, clay, pebbles, and plants. The girls made themselves rings and bracelets from water lilies. The boys made a whistle-flute (“veshkema” (e), “vyashkoma” (m)) from a willow twig; they wove baskets for mushrooms and berries, and bast shoes from linden bast.

The real holiday of summer was haymaking. The whole family went to the meadows: the kids brought fresh water, the teenagers and the adults mowed the grass, stirred and raked the hay, and stacked it in shocks. During their holidays, Mordovian children played various games: “Crow,” “Cockerel,” “Squirrel,” and “Cat and Mouse.” In these games, a driver (“crow”, “wolf”, “cat”) was chosen who must catch the fleeing “chickens”, “squirrels”, “mice”.

During grazing, children together with adults competed in making and guessing riddles, performing nursery rhymes, ditties, and songs. On a summer night, the songs were heard far around the area (according to the book “Folk traditions of raising children among the Mordovians” by N.F. Belyaeva).
