WINTER EVENING

The storm covers the sky with darkness, snow whirls twisting:

Then she will howl like a beast, then she will cry like a child,

Then straw suddenly rustles across the dilapidated roof,

Like a belated traveler, he will knock on our window.

Our dilapidated shack is both sad and dark.

Why are you, my old lady, silent at the window?

Or are you, my friend, tired of the howling storm,

Or are you dozing under the buzz of your spindle?

Sing me a song about how a tit lived quietly across the sea;

Sing me a song like the girl went to fetch water in the morning.

The storm covers the sky with darkness, spinning snow whirlwinds;

Then, like a beast, she will howl. then she will cry like a child.

A. S. Pushkin (slides No. 6 – 10)

M.R.: To these verses Russian composer Yakovlev wrote a romance « Winter evening» . Performed by singer Hvorostovsky (listening to the romance « Winter evening» )

Like silver. The tassels bloomed with white fringe, sprinkles the branches with new silver, the bushes are gray to the twig; winter is descending on white parachutes; Snowflakes are stars)

Sergey Yesenin

White birch tree under my window

She covered herself with snow, like silver.

On fluffy branches with a snow border

The tassels bloomed with white fringe.

And the birch tree stands in sleepy silence,

And snowflakes burn in golden fire.

And the dawn, lazily walking around,

Sprinkles the branches with new silver.

Ivan Demyanov "First Snow"

The bushes are gray to the twig. On land and houses

Winter is coming down on white parachutes!

Snowflakes-stars are flying. I look from under hands:

Whirling, dancing in the air, fluffy and light!

The street became brighter, the village more elegant.

Snowflakes are flying, circling, everything is white and white all around!

White snow fluffy spinning in the air

And he quietly falls to the ground and lies down.

And in the morning the field turned white with snow,

It was as if everything had covered him with a shroud.

A dark forest that covered itself with a wonderful hat

And he fell asleep under her soundly, soundly.

God's days are short, the sun shines little, -

Now the frosts have arrived - and winter has come.

I. Surikov (slides No. 11 – 20)

NATURE AND MUSIC: WINTER

Caesar Cui. Winter
Robert Schumann. in winter
Antonio Vivaldi. Seasons - Winter

1st lesson

Program content. To instill in children a sense of the beauty of nature and music.

Progress of the lesson:

P a g o g Nature is so beautiful in winter! Everything around turns white and silver. The trees dress up in fluffy white snow clothes:

Here is the north, the clouds are catching up,
He breathed, howled - and here she is
The sorceress winter is coming.
She came and fell apart; shreds
Hanged on the branches of oak trees;
Lay down in wavy carpets
Among the fields, around the hills;
Brega with a still river
She leveled it with a plump veil;
Frost flashed. And we are glad
To the pranks of Mother Winter.
(A.S. Pushkin)

Wonderful Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi has four concertos for violin and orchestra called “The Four Seasons”. These concerts have names: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn”, “Winter”. Each concert consists of three parts. Let's listen to one of the parts of another concert - “Winter”. What kind of winter do you see when you hear this music? (The second part of the concert sounds.)

Children. Beautiful, sparkling snowflakes.

Pedagogical: What is the nature of music?

Children. Delicate, light.

P e d a g o g Yes. In the orchestra you can hear abrupt sounds that flicker and glow, like a magical winter outfit of nature. Against this background, violins sing warmly, tenderly, sincerely. (A fragment sounds.) The Russian poet Sergei Yesenin has a poem in which he talks about the Russian birch tree in winter with tenderness, love, and admiration. When you listen to this part of A. Vivaldi’s concerto, you remember the lines:

Birch
White birch
Below my window
Covered myself with snow
Exactly silver.
On fluffy branches
Snow border
The brushes have blossomed
White fringe.
And the birch tree stands
In sleepy silence,
And the snowflakes are burning
In golden fire.
And the dawn is lazy
Walking around
Sprinkles branches
New silver.

2nd lesson

Program content. Teach children to distinguish the nature of musical works that have similar names.

Progress of the lesson:

Educator: You listened to one of the parts of A. Vivaldi’s concert “Winter”. What kind of music suits your mood? (A fragment plays.)

Children. Delicate, light, beautiful, like snowflakes flickering in the sun.

P a g o g This music was written for orchestra and solo violin. Now you will hear two works with similar names. One of them is for piano. This is R. Schumann's play “In Winter”. The other is for voice and piano. This is a song by the Russian composer Ts. Cui based on the poems of the poet E. Baratynsky “Winter”. What mood is conveyed in these works? (Both works are performed.) What does Ts. Cui’s song sound like?

Children. Sad, mournful, pitiful.

Educator: The picture of a harsh winter evokes despondency and regret about the summer: the stream is frozen under ice, an evil wind is blowing, nature is numb. (A song is performed.) And what is R. Schumann’s play? (Does it.)

Children. Also sad, plaintive.

P a g o g Yes, these works are very similar in mood. One of them is vocal, the other is piano. In R. Schumann's play, the mood brightens only in the middle part. It seems that the sun is peeking through or snowflakes are flickering, shimmering. (Performs a fragment.) But then the sad, plaintive intonations return again (a fragment is played). How consonant with this music is the poem of the poet Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet!

Just yesterday, blazing in the sun,
The forest was the last to tremble its leaves,
And the winter, turning lushly green,
She lay like a velvet carpet.
Today summer suddenly disappeared;
White, lifeless all around,
Earth and sky are all dressed
Some kind of dull silver.
Fields without herds, forests dull,
No scanty leaves, no grass.
I don't recognize the growing strength
In the diamond ghosts of foliage.
As if in a gray cloud of smoke
From the kingdom of cereals by the will of fairies
Transported incomprehensibly
We are in the kingdom of rock crystals.

Draw at home the picture of winter that seemed to you when you listened to the music of C. Cui, R. Schumann and A. Vivaldi.

3rd lesson

Program content. Teach children to distinguish between shades of mood and changes in the nature of music in works.

Progress of the lesson:

Educator. You listened various works about winter - a bright, gentle concert by A. Vivaldi, its second part (a fragment is played), the sad, mournful play by R. Schumann “In Winter” (performs a fragment) and a sad, plaintive song of Ts. Cui, similar in nature (performs a fragment) . Sometimes in winter it blows in bad weather strong wind, the blizzard howls:

The storm covers the sky with darkness,
Whirling snow whirlwinds;
Then, like a beast, she will howl,
Then he will cry like a child,
Then on the dilapidated roof
Suddenly the straw will rustle,
The way a belated traveler
There will be a knock on our window.
(A.S. Pushkin)

Or Sergei Yesenin has the following lines:

The blizzard sweeps the white path.
He wants to drown in the soft snow.
The playful wind fell asleep on the way;
Nor go to the forest,
Neither pass.

In the first part of A. Vivaldi’s concert “Winter,” which you will now get acquainted with, a picture of a harsh winter, stormy and blizzard, is depicted. (The first part plays.)
At the beginning you heard uniform abrupt chords, annoying sounds of a blizzard, sharp short gusts of wind; The snow is blowing, stinging snowflakes are falling. Nature, shackled by the cold, is frozen in a daze (sounds fragment).

Against this mysterious background, a violin sings piercingly, anxiously, confusedly, plaintively (a fragment sounds). Gusts of wind and a blizzard suddenly arrive. The music sounds insistently, excitedly and furiously (a fragment and the entire part are performed).

Antonio Vivaldi himself wrote the following poems for this music:

Numb over the fresh snow,
Under the sharp wind blowing in the pipe,
Run, stamping your boots.
And shivering and shivering in the cold.

(Reproductions of paintings that are consonant and contrasting in mood with the music can be used.)

DANCE OF THE PELLET FAIRY FROM THE BALLET “THE NUTCRACKER”

Pyotr Tchaikovsky completed the music for the ballet “The Nutcracker” in December 1892. The premiere took place at the same time. Mariinsky Theater . In “The Nutcracker,” the celesta, the youngest percussion-keyboard musical instrument, invented 6 years earlier by the Frenchman Auguste Mustel, was performed for the first time on the Russian stage. Tchaikovsky, captivated by the delicate sound of the celesta, personally brought it from Paris. It was perfect for a musical Christmas story. Celeste was performed in the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the sophisticated mistress of sweets in Confitenburg. The crystal chimes and airy dance of the Italian Antonietta Delera conveyed both the charm and fragility of the fairy-tale world.

POLONESE FROM THE OPERA “THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS”

Opera "The Night Before Christmas" Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov created in 1895. The composer wrote the libretto for “there was a carol” himself, based on the story of the same name Nikolai Gogol . He introduced a lot of fantastic and pagan elements into the plot:“Being interested in myths and combining them with Gogol’s story is, of course, my mistake, but this mistake made it possible to write a lot interesting music» . The premiere of The Night Before Christmas took place at the Mariinsky Theater in December 1895.

The polonaise with choir in the opera sounds when Vakula flies to the royal palace. Pathetic music contrasts with other melodies of the opera - carols on folk motives, graceful “Dance of the Stars” and soulful arias of Oksana and Vakula. After all, there is a festive ball in the palace - courtiers in magnificent dresses and wigs perform a ceremonial dance.

WALTZ FROM THE OPERA “THE TREE”

Vladimir Rebikov decided to write the opera “The Christmas Tree” in the early 1900s. Her libretto is based on two works - “The Little Match Girl” Hans Christian Andersen and a Christmas story Fyodor Dostoevsky "The boy at Christ's Christmas tree." Their plots are similar: a child from a poor family does not find shelter on a festive evening and ends up freezing to death on an icy street.

The opera by Vladimir Rebikov was a great success: it was staged many times in Russia and abroad. The most famous melody from “Yolka” was the climactic waltz. The main character heard touching and sad music during her enchanting visions, after which she never woke up.

SONG “THE FIRSTREET WAS BORN IN THE FOREST”

The text of the popular children's song was written by Russian poet Raisa Kudasheva in 1903. The poem was first published in the December issue of the magazine “Malyutka” - it was published in St. Petersburg. A few years later, agronomist Leonid Bekman created music for the words. He composed it for his little daughter, and since the scientist did not know how to read music, his wife recorded the melody.

“Herringbone” has gone through several births. In the 1900s, it became a very popular Christmas carol, sung at home parties, in high schools, and in orphanages. IN World War I when Christmas noted with restraint, the melody was a little forgotten. After the revolution, the anthem of the religious holiday was completely unofficially banned. “Yolochka” returned to the third generation of Soviet children - in the 1930s - and became not a Christmas song, but a New Year's song.

SONG “FIVE MINUTES” FROM THE MOVIE “CARNIVAL NIGHT”

The lively song about the last five minutes of the passing year is already 60 years old. In 1956 the whole country listened to her: the film“Carnival Night” by Eldar Ryazanov watched by almost 50 million Soviet viewers, and the melody itself sounded from every radio. It remains one of the New Year's song traditions today.

The music for “Five Minutes” was written by composer Anatoly Lepin, and the words by Vladimir Livshits. In the film, the song of Lenochka Krylova - the heroine Gurchenko — lasted five minutes and ended with the chimes. A decoration was made especially for the room: a huge alarm clock, on either side of which were musicians from the orchestra. “Carnival” watches also became a New Year’s trend long years- bright Christmas tree decorations - “five minutes before” - soon appeared in every Soviet home.

WALTZ FROM THE MOVIE "Blizzard"

Music for the film "Blizzard" based on the same name stories by Alexander Pushkin Georgy Sviridov wrote in 1964. Waltz and “Troika”, “Military March” and “Wedding” were performed on the radio and put on television programs. 10 years after the film was released, Sviridov edited the score. It became an independent work - “Musical illustrations for the story by A.S. Pushkin "Blizzard".

At the same time solemn and tender, the waltz sounds at the very beginning of the film, during the ball. Here main character- Marya Gavrilovna - for the first time, even if only briefly, she saw the one with whom she would mistakenly marry. The audience also hears the muted motives of this melody at the end of the film, when the heroes miraculously meet again and get to know each other.

Film "Sorcerers" script Strugatsky brothers Konstantin Bromberg filmed it in 1982. It was shown on television on the last day of the year. The music for the film was written by Evgeny Krylatov, and the lyrics by Leonid Derbenev. Later she released all the compositions on one disc Melodiya company.

One of musical symbols New Year's Eve was “Song about a Snowflake,” or “Snowflake,” from the movie “Sorcerers.” A song about how to correctly make a wish at the magical midnight was sung by Olga Rozhdestvenskaya with the vocal and instrumental ensemble “Good Fellows.” "Snowflake" began to appear in blue lights, at holiday discos and even children's matinees. And for more than three decades now it has been heard before the New Year on all radio stations and television channels.

The change of seasons is a theme that from time immemorial has attracted the attention of artists working in various types art. Meanwhile, musicians, as well as poets, often interpret it in a philosophical manner, drawing a parallel between objective weather changes and the subjective feeling of the transience of human life.

They pay special attention to winter, depicting it as the last stage of existence before going into oblivion. In their imagination, with the onset of winter, the earth falls under the power of destructive elements, and from the depths of the human subconscious the black forces of universal loneliness creep out. However, there are authors who perceive winter cheerfully, finding in it a source of such pleasures as sleigh rides, masquerades, New Year's Eve, Maslenitsa celebrations...

Let's try to trace the path along which composers of the 18th-20th centuries moved, depicting winter in their instrumental opuses. The dominance of “pure music” in these works in most cases forces the authors to direct the right direction associative thinking performers and listeners with the help of preliminary texts. For these purposes, they often use poetic epigraphs or titles, occasionally indicating the connection of their music with any specific plot (libretto, script).

XVIII century

“Winter is hard, but moments of joy

Sometimes they soften her harsh face...

How happy is the one whom warmth and light

She sheltered her native hearth from the winter cold, -

Let the snow and the wind be angry there, outside..." - these lines are included in the sonnet, which is preceded by one of the most famous works classical music dedicated to winter. They are the program for Antonio Vivaldi’s fourth violin concerto, which concludes his four-movement cycle “The Seasons”.

A. Vivaldi (1678–1741) – the largest representative Italian music High Baroque era. In his instrumental concerts, in particular in “Winter,” the principles of program symphony, which a hundred years later would be embodied in “ Pastoral Symphony» Beethoven. In the 19th century they were developed by romantic composers, and in the 20th century by the impressionists.

The themes of the three-movement violin concerto “Winter” by A. Vivaldi are unusually clear, concrete, emotional and melodic in Italian style. Anxiety and sublime enlightenment, dramatic tension and the charm of peace are replaced in this work so talentedly that even after the end of listening they continue to excite the imagination. It is also important that the musical language of this work echoes the language of the best works of the authors of the 20th century, created in line with neoclassicism. That is why any of the violin concertos combined by A. Vivaldi into the “Seasons” cycle is currently in demand by listeners.

19th century

“I no longer live in myself, I am part of what I see,” these lines are from a poem by J. Byron, which he often quoted greatest romantic composer Franz Liszt (1811–1886), may be the epigraph to many of his works created during the period creative flourishing. The final edition of “Etudes of Higher Performance”, a cycle consisting of 12 virtuoso plays, the final of which is “Blizzard,” belongs to this time. This composition makes us remember the composer’s amazing confession: “... some vague, but very real relationship, an inexplicable but true relationship, has been established between me and natural phenomena.”

In the above-mentioned sketch, the author clearly embodies the romantic idea of ​​a proud and suffering personality, finding an echo of his own tossing in natural phenomena. Compositionally, this is expressed quite clearly: in the composition one can clearly hear the interdependence of the melody-recitation, which bears the imprint of a personal tragedy, and the texture, depicting the surrounding world, engulfed in a snowy whirlwind. All this was done so skillfully and talentedly that it gives reason to consider “Blizzard” one of the most striking musical sketches of the romantic era.

In Russian music of the XIX centuries, perhaps the most interesting pages dedicated to winter belong to the pen of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). His attitude towards this time of year was already evident in his first symphony, created at the age of 26. Two parts of this work have programmatic titles: “Dreams on a Winter Road” and “Gloomy Land, Foggy Land.” In none of the next five symphonies will Tchaikovsky decide to resort to words, since even without this his inner life will be in plain sight for everyone. Meanwhile, the very first fragment of the author’s first symphony indicates that we have before us a composer of a lyrical direction. In this regard, it is significant that, already a recognized master, Tchaikovsky wrote: “The symphony... is the most lyrical of all musical forms... Shouldn’t it express everything that there are no words for, but that asks from the soul and that wants to be expressed?

Many researchers of P. Tchaikovsky’s work associate the images of his first symphony with the paintings of I. Levitan. It is known that the second part of the symphony was created by the composer under the impression of his trip along Lake Ladoga to the island of Valaam and a trip to the Imatra Falls in the summer of 1860. It is significant that in both parts of this work the image winter road, running along a gloomy edge, merges with the lyrical reflections of the hero. About this work, art critic G. Sherikhova writes: “Tchaikovsky begins his first symphony with the most delicate watercolor, complementing it with subtle pen strokes... Through this unsteady drawing of nature, the unprotected beauty of the living shines through human soul, for which every brutal intrusion is as destructive as for the natural world.”

P. Tchaikovsky creates no less visual pictures of winter in the piano cycle “The Seasons,” where a piece with a literary epigraph is dedicated to each month. Thus, January (“At the Fireplace”) is preceded by A. Pushkin’s lines from the poem “The Dreamer” (1815):

And a peaceful corner

The night has dressed itself in darkness,

The fire in the fireplace goes out,

And the candle burned out.

February - “Maslenitsa” - lines by P. Vyazemsky from the poem “Maslenitsa on the Other Side” (1853):

Soon Maslenitsa is brisk

A wide feast will begin.

December - “Christmas time” - words from V. Zhukovsky’s ballad “Svetlana” (1811):

Once on Epiphany evening

The girls wondered:

A shoe behind the gate,

They took it off their feet and threw it away.

These plays are a kind of catalog musical language author. “At the Fireplace” is a composition in which the confidential intonations characteristic of the composer’s operatic arias can be traced. “Maslenitsa” bears the imprint of the author’s symphonic scherzos, and “Christmastide” is one of the most captivating waltzes for which P. Tchaikovsky is so famous.

Another instrumental waltz that became last decade business card Russian genius, is the “Snow Flake Waltz” from the ballet “The Nutcracker”. A new surge of interest in this work was facilitated by the talent outstanding artist Andrei Shemyakin (b. 1943): he, together with conductor Valery Gergiev, performed at the Mariinsky Theater in 2001 new production"The Nutcracker". In it, A. Shemyakin not only immersed the audience in the bizarre and terrible world of images of Hoffmann’s fairy tale, but also confronted him with the fact of outright “sacrilege” - he released “snowflakes” onto the stage, dressed in black tights, dotted with dazzling white mugs. As a result, the artist achieved an incredible visual effect: against the dark background of the scenery, the outlines of the dancers’ figures seemed to dissolve, and the “snowballs” scattered across their clothes sparkled and swirled, creating the illusion of a blizzard of unimaginable beauty. Shemyakin said that the image of black snowflakes was born to him after he saw a snow whirlwind through the window against the background of the night sky.

Composers of the Russian school have always been close to the images of the fatal element that dominates human life, and in the paintings of winter they found a worthy embodiment for them. In the list of works related to this topic, one can fully include Rachmaninov’s etude-painting in E flat minor op. 33, Scriabin's study in F sharp major op. 42, blizzard scene from Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera “Kashchei the Immortal”.

Meanwhile, there is a work dedicated to the seasons, in which winter found its devoted admirer. It's about about Alexander Glazunov (1865–1936) and his ballet “The Seasons” (1900), conceived in the spirit of performances at the French court of the 16th-17th centuries. Glazunov's talent as a “musical painter” brightly illuminated this entire work, but was revealed with particular force when describing the images of winter. It is known that N. L. Rimsky-Korsakov, the author of the operas “The Snow Maiden” and “The Night Before Christmas,” after the rehearsal of Glazunov’s first film “The Seasons,” said: “This is one of the best winters in Russian music!” In this regard, I would like to quote the words of A. Glazunov, written by him in Paris shortly before his death: “There was no snow...”, “I miss the northern winter, you won’t get snow here...”, “It’s a pity that I won’t see the northern winter again.” and the sleigh, which I really miss!”

The founder of impressionism in European music was Claude Debussy (1862–1918), a French composer and music critic. A convinced pantheist, he repeatedly voiced his creative credo: “the beauty of nature can excite the artistic imagination of a composer.”

Debussy's need to convey in sounds the changing state of nature and magic colors her elusive beauty pushed the composer to search for new means of expression. This affected not only the musical language in the narrow sense of the word, but also the images themselves, which in his works are full of various symbolism. The author’s goal is to excite the imagination of listeners, directing it into the sphere of all kinds of associations. A clear illustration of this is his prelude “Steps in the Snow.” The theme of the play is “a frozen step, as if “frozen” into the texture, which hypnotizes the listener, does not let go of his attention, forcing him to continuously watch how the trajectory of the mournful path along the snow-covered plain is drawn and lost in the distance” (E. Denisov). Many researchers believe that this degree of concentration of expressiveness elevates the motif of “Steps” to the level of “allegory of Time and Fate.”

Unlike “Steps in the Snow,” which is considered perhaps the most mysterious and strange prelude by C. Debussy, his play “The Snow Is Dancing” from the suite “ Children's Corner» is clear and understandable. Complementing the author’s series of various toccatas, it is notable for its unusual impressionistic coloring, which “allows it to be classified as one of the most interesting and innovative pages cycle." The piano writing of the play “Snow is Dancing” is transparent and elegant, which is most likely due to the “childish” nature of this music. In style it is close to the clavier works of composers of the 17th century, in particular the miniatures of L. Couperin (1626–1661).

XX century

The music of the outstanding Russian composer Georgy Sviridov (1915–1998), created for the film based on Pushkin’s story “Blizzard,” is also associated with images of winter. The orchestral suite, compiled by the author in 1974 from the music for this film, brought its author popular love. Of this work, “Waltz” is the most popular - it perfectly matches the spirit of Pushkin’s story, revealing the innocence of its heroes, who are characterized by an integral, harmonious perception of life.
