Summary of the history of pop art. The origin of Russian pop

Word "stage" ( from latin strata) means - flooring, platform, hill, platform.

Most precise definition variety art as an art that combines various genres is given in the dictionary of D.N. Ushakov: " Stage- this is the art of small forms, the area of ​​spectacular and musical performances on an open stage. Its specificity lies in its easy adaptation to different conditions public demonstration and short duration of action, in artistic and expressive means, art that contributes to the vivid identification creative individuality performer, in the topicality, acute socio-political relevance of the topics covered, in the predominance of elements of humor, satire, journalism.

The Soviet Encyclopedia defines pop music as derived from the French estrade- a form of art that includes small forms of dramatic and vocal art, music, choreography, circus, pantomime, etc. In concerts - separate finished numbers, united by an entertainer, a plot. As an independent art, it was formed at the end of the 19th century.

There is also such a definition of stage:

A stage area, permanent or temporary, for an artist's concert performances.

Variety art has its roots in the distant past, traceable in art ancient egypt and Ancient Greece. Although the stage closely interacts with other arts, such as music, drama theater, choreography, literature, cinema, circus, pantomime, it is an independent and specific art form. The basis of pop art is - "His Majesty the number" - as N. Smirnov-Sokolsky said 1 .

Number - little performance, one or more artists, with its own plot, climax and denouement. The specificity of the performance is the direct communication of the artist with the public, on his own behalf or on behalf of the character.

In the medieval art of wandering artists, farce theaters in Germany, buffoons in Rus', mask theater in Italy, etc. already there was a direct appeal of the artist to the audience, which allowed the subsequent one to become a direct participant in the action. The short duration of the performance (no more than 15-20 minutes) requires the utmost concentration of expressive means, conciseness, and dynamics. Variety performances are classified according to their characteristics into four groups. The first species group should include colloquial (or speech) numbers. Then come musical, plastic-choreographic, mixed, "original" numbers.

The art of comedy was built on open contact with the public. del arte (masque) XVI-PPXVII century.

Performances were usually improvised based on typical story scenes. musical sound as interludes (inserts): songs, dances, instrumental or vocal numbers - was a direct source of pop numbers.

In the 18th century there are comic opera And vaudeville. Vaudeville was a fascinating performance with music and jokes. Their main heroes - ordinary people - have always defeated stupid and vicious aristocrats.

A to mid-nineteenth century, a genre is born operetta(literally small opera): view theatrical art, which combined vocal and instrumental music, dance, ballet, elements of pop art, dialogues. As an independent genre, operetta appeared in France in 1850. The "father" of the French operetta, and operetta in general, was Jacques Offenbach(1819-1880). Later, the genre develops in the Italian "comedy of masks".

Variety is closely connected with everyday life, with folklore, with traditions. Moreover, they are rethought, modernized, "estradized". Various forms of pop creativity are used as an entertaining pastime.

This is no coincidence. In England pubs(public public institutions) arose in the 18th century, became the prototypes of music halls ( music hall). Pubs have become a place of entertainment for the broad democratic sections of the population. Unlike aristocratic salons, where classical music was predominantly played, in pubs, songs, dances were performed, comedians, mimes, acrobats performed, scenes from popular performances consisting of imitations and parodies were shown in pubs, accompanied by a piano. Somewhat later, in the first half of the 19th century, cafe-concerts, which were originally literary and artistic cafes, where poets, musicians, and actors performed with their improvisations. In various modifications, they spread throughout Europe and became known as cabaret(zucchini). Entertainment does not exclude the factor of spirituality; a civic position is especially important for a variety artist.

The easy adaptability of variety art to the audience conceals the danger of flirting with the public, concessions to bad taste. In order not to fall into the abyss of vulgarity and vulgarity, the artist needs true talent, taste and flair. From individual pop numbers, the director formed a program, which was also a strong expressive means. Free field connection of small shapes, separated from various types artistic creativity and healed on its own, which led to the birth of colorful art variety show. The art of variety show is closely connected with the theater, the circus, but unlike the theater, it does not need an organized dramatic action. The conventionality of the plot, the lack of development of the action (the main drama) are also characteristic of a large performance. revue(from fr. - review). Separate parts of the review are connected by a common performing and social idea. As a musical dramatic genre, the revue combines elements of cabaret, ballet and variety show. The revue performance is dominated by music, singing, and dancing. The variety show has its own modifications:

- variety show from individual numbers

- variety show

- dance cabaret

- revue

In the 20th century, the revue turned into a magnificent entertainment performance. There were varieties of revue in the United States, called show.

The musical stage included different genres of light music: songs, excerpts from operettas, musicals, variety shows in variety arrangements of instrumental works. In the 20th century, the stage was enriched by jazz and popular music.

Thus, pop art has come a long way, and today we can observe this genre in a different form and performance, which suggests that its development does not stand still.

The roots of the stage go back to the distant past, traced in the art of Egypt, Greece, Rome; its elements are present in the performances of itinerant comedians-buffoons (Russia), shpilmans (Germany), jugglers (France), dandies (Poland), mascarabozes (Central Asia), etc.

Satire on urban life and customs, sharp jokes on political topics, a critical attitude to power, couplets, comic skits, jokes, games, clown pantomime, juggling, musical eccentricity were the beginnings of future pop genres that were born in the noise of carnival and public entertainment.

Barkers, who, with the help of jokes, witticisms, funny couplets, sold any product in the squares and markets, later became the forerunners of the entertainer. All this was of a massive and intelligible nature, which was an indispensable condition for the existence of all pop genres. All medieval carnival artists did not play performances.

In Russia, the origins of pop genres manifested themselves in buffoons, fun and mass creativity of folk festivals. Their representatives are raus grandfathers-jokers with an indispensable beard, who amused and beckoned the audience from the upper platform of the booth-raus, parsley, raeshniks, leaders of "learned" bears, actors-buffoons, playing "sketch" and "reprise" among the crowd, playing the pipes , harp, snot and amusing the people.

Variety art is characterized by such qualities as openness, conciseness, improvisation, festivity, originality, entertainment.

Developing as an art of festive leisure, pop music has always strived for unusualness and diversity. The very feeling of festivity was created due to external entertainment, the play of light, the change of picturesque scenery, the change in the shape of the stage, etc. Despite the fact that the variety of forms and genres is characteristic of the stage, it can be divided into three groups:

  • - concert stage (previously called "divertissement") combines all types of performances in variety concerts;
  • - theatrical stage (chamber performances of the theater of miniatures, cabaret theatres, cafe-theaters or a large-scale concert revue, music hall, with a large performing staff and first-class stage equipment);
  • - festive stage (folk festivals, holidays at stadiums, saturated with sports and concert numbers, as well as balls, carnivals, masquerades, festivals, etc.).

There are also these:

  • 1. Variety theaters
  • 2. Music halls

If the basis of a variety performance is a finished number, then the review, like any dramatic action, required the subordination of everything that happens on the stage to the plot. This, as a rule, did not organically combine and led to the weakening of one of the components of the presentation: either the performance, or the characters, or the plot. This happened during the production of "Miracles of the 20th Century" - the play broke up into a number of independent, weakly related episodes. Only the ballet ensemble and several first-class variety and circus performances had success with the audience. The ballet ensemble staged by Goleizovsky performed three numbers: "Hey, let's go!", "Moscow in the rain" and "30 English girls". Particularly spectacular was the performance of "The Snake". Among the circus numbers the best were: Tea Alba and "Australian Lumberjacks" Jackson and Laurer. Alba wrote with chalk on two boards at the same time with her right and left hands. different words. The lumberjacks at the end of the race were chopping two thick logs. An excellent balance number on the wire was shown by the German Strodi. He performed somersaults on a wire. Of the Soviet artists, as always, Smirnov-Sokolsky and the ditties V. Glebova and M. Darskaya had great success. Among the circus numbers, the number of Zoya and Martha Koch stood out on two parallel wires.

In September 1928, the opening of the Leningrad Music Hall took place.

  • 3. Theater of Miniatures - a theater group that works mainly on small forms: small plays, sketches, sketches, operas, operettas along with variety numbers (monologues, couplets, parodies, dances, songs). The repertoire is dominated by humor, satire, irony, and lyrics are not excluded. The troupe is small, the theater of one actor, two actors is possible. The performances, laconic in design, are designed for a relatively small audience; they represent a kind of mosaic canvas.
  • 4. Conversational genres on the stage - a symbol of genres associated mainly with the word: entertainer, interlude, skit, sketch, story, monologue, feuilleton, microminiature (staged anecdote), burime.

Entertainer - entertainer can be paired, single, mass. A colloquial genre built according to the laws of "unity and struggle of opposites", that is, the transition from quantity to quality according to the satirical principle.

A pop monologue can be satirical, lyrical, humorous.

An interlude is a comic scene or a play of humorous content, which is performed as an independent number.

A sketch is a small scene where intrigue is rapidly developing, where the simplest plot is built on unexpected funny, sharp situations, turns, allowing a whole series of absurdities to arise in the course of action, but where everything, as a rule, ends in a happy denouement. 1-2 actors (but no more than three).

Miniature - in the stage it is the most popular colloquial genre. On the stage today, a popular anecdote (not published, not printed - from Greek) is a short topical oral story with an unexpected witty ending.

A pun is a joke based on the comical use of similar-sounding but different-sounding words to play on the sound similarity of equivalent words or combinations.

Reprise is the most common short colloquial genre.

Couplets are one of the most intelligible and popular varieties of the colloquial genre. The coupletist seeks to ridicule this or that phenomenon and express their attitude towards it. Must have a sense of humor

The musical and colloquial genres include a couplet, a ditty, a chansonette, a musical feuilleton.

A parody common on the stage can be "colloquial", vocal, musical, dance. At one time, recitations, melodeclamations, literary montages, "Artistic reading" adjoined speech genres.

It is impossible to give a precisely fixed list of speech genres: unexpected syntheses of the word with music, dance, original genres (transformation, ventrology, etc.) give rise to new genre formations. Live practice continuously supplies all sorts of varieties, it is not by chance that on old posters it was customary to add "in his genre" to the name of an actor.

Each of the above speech genres has its own characteristics, its own history, structure. The development of society, social conditions dictated the emergence of one or another genre to the forefront. Actually, only the entertainer born in the cabaret can be considered a "variety" genre. The rest came from the booth, the theater, from the pages of humorous and satirical magazines. Speech genres, unlike others, inclined to master foreign innovations, developed in line with the national tradition, in close connection with the theater, with humorous literature.

The development of speech genres is associated with the level of literature. Behind the actor stands the author, who "dies" in the performer. And yet, the intrinsic value of acting does not detract from the importance of the author, who largely determines the success of the performance. The authors often became the artists themselves. The traditions of I. Gorbunov were picked up by pop storytellers - Smirnov-Sokolsky, Afonin, Nabatov and others created their own repertoire. Actors who did not have literary talent turned to authors for help, who wrote based on oral performance, taking into account the mask of the performer. These authors, as a rule, remained "nameless". For many years, the question has been discussed in the press whether a work written for performance on the stage can be considered literature. In the early 80s, the All-Union and then the All-Russian Association of Variety Authors were created, which helped to legalize this type literary activity. The author's "anonymity" is a thing of the past; moreover, the authors themselves took to the stage. At the end of the 70s, the program "Behind the Scenes of Laughter" was released, compiled according to the type of a concert, but exclusively from the performances of pop authors. If in previous years only individual writers(Averchenko, Ardov, Laskin), now this phenomenon has become widespread. The phenomenon of M. Zhvanetsky contributed a lot to the success. Having started in the 60s as the author of the Leningrad Theater of Miniatures, he, bypassing censorship, began to read his short monologues and dialogues at closed evenings in the Houses of the Creative Intelligentsia, which, like Vysotsky's songs, were distributed throughout the country.

5. Jazz on stage

The term "jazz" is commonly understood as: 1) a type of musical art based on improvisation and a special rhythmic intensity, 2) orchestras and ensembles that perform this music. The terms "jazz band", "jazz ensemble" are also used to designate groups (sometimes indicating the number of performers - jazz trio, jazz quartet, jazz orchestra, big band).

6. Song on the stage

Vocal (vocal-instrumental) miniature, widely used in concert practice. On the stage, it is often solved as a stage "game" miniature with the help of plasticity, costume, light, mise-en-scenes ("song theater"); great importance acquires the personality, features of the talent and skill of the performer, who in some cases becomes a "co-author" of the composer.

The genres and forms of the song are varied: romance, ballad, folk song, couplet, ditty, chansonette, etc.; the methods of performance are also varied: solo, ensemble (duets, choirs, wok-instr. ensembles).

There is also a group of composers among pop musicians. These are Antonov, Pugacheva, Gazmanov, Loza, Kuzmin, Dobrynin, Kornelyuk and others.

Many styles, manners and trends coexist - from sentimental kitsch and urban romance to punk rock and rap. Thus, today's song is a multi-colored and multi-style panel, which includes dozens of directions, from domestic folklore imitations to inoculations of African-American, European and Asian cultures.

7. Dance on the stage

This is a short dance number, solo or group, presented in group variety concerts, variety shows, music halls, theaters of miniatures; accompanies and complements the program of vocalists, numbers of original and even speech genres. It was formed on the basis of folk, everyday (ballroom) dance, classical ballet, modern dance, gymnastics, acrobatics, on the crossing of various foreign influences and national traditions. The nature of dance plasticity is dictated by modern rhythms, formed under the influence of related arts: music, theater, painting, circus, pantomime.

Folk dances were originally included in the performances of the capital's troupes. The repertoire included theatrical divertissement performances of rural, urban and military life, vocal and dance suites from Russian folk songs and dances.

In the 1990s, dance on the stage sharply polarized, as if returning to the situation of the 1920s. Dance groups Those employed in show business, such as "Erotic Dance" and others, rely on erotica - performances in nightclubs dictate their own laws.

8. Puppets on the stage

Since ancient times, handicrafts have been valued in Russia, they loved toys, respected fun game with a doll. Petrushka dealt with a soldier, a policeman, a priest, and even with death itself, bravely brandished a club, laid down on the spot those whom the people did not like, overthrew evil, affirmed people's morality.

Petrushechniks wandered alone, sometimes together: a puppeteer and a musician, they themselves composed plays, they themselves were actors, directors themselves - they tried to preserve the movements of the puppets, mise-en-scenes, puppet tricks. Puppeteers were persecuted.

There were other spectacles in which puppets acted. On the roads of Russia one could meet vans loaded with puppets on strings - puppets. And sometimes boxes with slots inside, along which the dolls were moved from below. Such boxes were called nativity scenes. Puppeteers mastered the art of imitation. They liked to portray singers, copied acrobats, gymnasts, clowns.

9. Parody on stage

This is a number or performance based on ironic imitation (imitation) of both the individual manner, style, characteristic features and stereotypes of the original, as well as entire trends and genres in art. The amplitude of the comic: from sharply satirical (degrading) to humorous (friendly caricature) - is determined by the attitude of the parodist to the original. Parody has its roots in ancient art, in Russia it has long been present in buffoon games, farce performances.

10. Theaters of small forms

Creation of cabaret theaters in Russia " Bat"," Crooked Mirror ", etc.

Both "Crooked Mirror" and "The Bat" were professionally strong acting groups, the level of theatrical culture of which was undoubtedly higher than in numerous theaters of miniatures (Petrovsky stood out more than others from Moscow, directed by D.G. Gutman , Mamonovsky, cultivating decadent art, where Alexander Vertinsky made his debut during the First World War, Nikolsky - artist and director A.P. Petrovsky. Among St. Petersburg - Troitsky A.M. Fokina - director V.R. Rappoport, where with ditties and how V. O. Toporkov, later an artist of the art theater, successfully performed as an entertainer.

  1. Stage art. Prerequisites for the emergence and history of the development of pop art variety art genre director

The roots of the stage go back to the distant past, being traced in the art of Egypt and Greece. The roots of the stage go back to the distant past, traced in the art of Egypt, Greece, Rome; its elements are present in the performances of itinerant comedians-buffoons (Russia), shpilmans (Germany), jugglers (France), dandies (Poland), mascarabozes (Central Asia), etc.

The troubadour movement in France (at the end of the 11th century) became the bearer of a new social idea. His peculiarity was the writing of music to order, the genre variety of songs from the plots of love lyrics to the glorification of the military exploits of military leaders. Hired singers and wandering artists spread musical creativity. The roots of the stage go back to the distant past, traced in the art of Egypt, Greece, Rome; its elements are present in the performances of itinerant comedians-buffoons (Russia), shpilmans (Germany), jugglers (France), dandies (Poland), mascarabozes (Central Asia), etc.

Satire on urban life and customs, sharp jokes on political topics, a critical attitude towards power, couplets, comic skits, jokes, games, musical eccentricity were the beginnings of future pop genres that were born in the noise of carnival and public entertainment. Barkers, who, with the help of jokes, witticisms, and cheerful couplets, sold any product in the squares and markets, later became the forerunners of the entertainer. All this was of a massive and intelligible nature, which was an indispensable condition for the existence of all pop genres. All medieval carnival artists did not play performances. The basis of the performance was a miniature, which distinguished them from the theater, the main feature of which is the elements that bind the action together. These artists did not portray characters, but always spoke on their own behalf, directly communicating with the audience. This is now the main, distinctive feature of modern show business.

Somewhat later (the middle and the end of the 18th century), various entertainment establishments appeared in foreign countries - music halls, variety shows, cabarets, ministerial shows, which combined all the experience of fairground and carnival performances and were the forerunners of modern entertainment organizations. With the transition of many street genres to closed spaces, a special level of performing art began to form, as new conditions required a more focused perception on the part of the viewer. Formed in the second half of the 19th century, the activity of cafes - chantans, cafes - concerts, designed for a small number of visitors, allowed the development of such chamber genres as lyrical singing, entertainer, solo dance, eccentricity. The success of such cafes caused the emergence of larger, spectacular enterprises - cafe-concerts, such as "Ambassador", "Eldorado" and others.

This form of showing performances was characterized by such qualities as openness, conciseness, improvisation, festivity, originality, entertainment. At this time, France acquires the status of a cultural and entertainment center. "Teatre Montasier" (variety show) - combined musical, theatrical and circus art. In 1792, the Vaudeville Theater became very popular. The theater's repertoire consists of comedy plays, in which dialogues alternate with couplets, songs and dances. Cabaret (an entertainment establishment that combines the song and dance genre of an entertaining nature) and operetta were very popular.

Developing as an art of festive leisure, pop music has always strived for unusualness and diversity. The self-feeling of festivity was created due to external entertainment, the play of light, the change of picturesque scenery, the change in the shape of the stage.

Since the 20s of the last century, pop music has been in the center of attention of cultural and art workers, researchers in various fields of knowledge, acting as a subject of controversy on the pages of the periodical press and disputes in scientific circles. Throughout the history of Russian pop art, the attitude towards it has repeatedly changed. "In domestic science, a tradition has developed to consider pop art, and in this context, jazz, and then rock music, as manifestations of mass culture, which became the object of research in the framework of sociology, social psychology and other social sciences. The interest of culturologists and political scientists in the problems of modern pop music and the socio-cultural phenomena generated by it does not weaken even today.

The development of cinematography produced a stunning effect around the world, subsequently becoming a direct attribute of any society. Since the late 1880s and early 1900s, it has been closely adjacent to the emerging domestic stage, as an institution and as a spectacle it is a direct continuation of the booth. The tapes were transported from city to city by entrepreneurs in vans along with projection equipment. The lack of electricity hampered the development of cinema in a large area of ​​the country. Given this fact, entrepreneurs are acquiring small portable power stations, which have greatly expanded the possibilities of film distribution.

In Russia, the origins of pop genres were manifested in buffoons, fun and mass creativity of folk festivals. Their representatives are raus grandfathers-jokers with an indispensable beard, who amused and beckoned the audience from the upper platform of the booth-raus, parsley, raeshniks, leaders of "learned" bears, actors-buffoons, playing "sketch" and "reprise" among the crowd, playing the pipes , harp, snot and amusing the people.

Variety art is characterized by such qualities as openness, conciseness, improvisation, festivity, originality, entertainment.

Developing as an art of festive leisure, pop music has always strived for unusualness and diversity. The very feeling of festivity was created due to external entertainment, the play of light, the change of picturesque scenery, the change in the shape of the stage, etc.

Variety, as a synthesized art, has absorbed various genres - instrumental music and vocals, dance and cinema, poetry and painting, theater and circus. All this, mixed up like an amalgam, began to live its own independent life, turning into clear, finished genre forms that do not get tired of synthesizing and, to this day, giving birth to something new that did not have a place to be. Variety art is like a huge tree with a great many branches - genres that, growing up, getting stronger, sprout new shoots-styles.

“Variety art combines various genres, the commonality of which lies in easy adaptability to various actions of public demonstration, in the short duration of the action, in the concentration of its artistic expressive means, which contributes to the vivid identification of the creative individuality of the performer, and in the field of genres associated with the living word, in topicality , acute social and political relevance of the topics covered, in the predominance of elements of humor, satire and journalism. This quality is especially valuable and at the same time specific to the stage.

Despite the fact that the variety of forms and genres is characteristic of the stage, it can be divided into three groups:

The concert stage (previously called "divertissement") combines all types of performances in variety concerts;

Theatrical stage (chamber performances of the theater of miniatures, cabaret theatres, cafe-theaters or a large-scale concert revue, music hall, with numerous performing staff and first-class stage equipment);

Festive stage (folk festivals, holidays at stadiums, full of sports and concert numbers, as well as balls, carnivals, masquerades, festivals, etc.).

Only the ballet ensemble and several first-class variety and circus performances had success with the audience. The ballet ensemble staged by Goleizovsky performed three numbers: "Hey, let's go!", "Moscow in the rain" and "30 English girls". Particularly spectacular was the performance of "The Snake". Among the circus numbers the best were: Tea Alba and "Australian Lumberjacks" Jackson and Laurer. Alba simultaneously wrote different words with chalk on two boards with her right and left hands.

Short description

In Russia, the origins of pop genres were manifested in buffoons, fun and mass creativity of folk festivals. Their representatives are raus grandfathers-jokers with an indispensable beard, who amused and beckoned the audience from the upper platform of the booth-raus, parsley, raeshniks, leaders of "learned" bears, actors-buffoons, playing "sketch" and "reprise" among the crowd, playing the pipes , harp, snot and amusing the people.

Stage- view performing arts which implies both a separate genre and a synthesis of genres: singing, dancing, original performance, circus art, illusions.

Pop music- a kind of entertaining musical art, addressed to the widest audience.

This type of music was most developed in the 20th century. It usually includes dance music, various songs, works for pop and symphony orchestras and vocal and instrumental ensembles.

Often, pop music is identified with the prevailing concept of "light music", that is, easy to perceive, publicly available. In historical terms, light music can be attributed to classical works that are simple in content and have gained universal popularity, for example, plays by F. Schubert and J. Brahms, F. Lehar and J. Offenbach, waltzes by J. Strauss and A. K. Glazunov, “Little Night serenade” by W. A. ​​Mozart.

In this vast, as well as extremely heterogeneous in character and aesthetic level, area musical creativity on the one hand, the same expressive means are used as in serious music, on the other hand, their own, specific ones.

The term "variety orchestra" was proposed by L. O. Utyosov in the late 40s, which made it possible to separate two concepts:
pop and jazz music.

Modern pop music and jazz have whole line common features: the presence of a constant rhythmic pulsation carried out by the rhythm section; predominantly dance character of works performed by pop and jazz groups. But if jazz music is characterized by improvisation, a special rhythmic property is swing, and the forms of modern jazz are sometimes quite difficult to perceive, then pop music is accessible musical language, melody and extreme rhythmic simplicity.

One of the most common types of pop instrumental compositions is the pop symphony orchestra (ESO), or symphojazz. In our country, the formation and development of the ESO is associated with the names of V. N. Knushevitsky, N. G. Minkh, Yu. V. Silantiev. The repertoire of variety and symphony orchestras is extremely extensive: from original orchestral pieces and fantasies to notable themes to the accompaniment of songs and operettas.

In addition to the indispensable rhythm section and the full brass composition of the big band (saxophone group and brass group), the ESO includes traditional groups symphony orchestra instruments - woodwinds, horns and strings (violins, violas, cellos). The ratio of groups in the ESO approaches that of a symphony orchestra: the string group dominates, which is due to the predominantly melodic nature of the music for the ESO; wood plays an important role wind instruments; the principle of orchestration itself is very close to that adopted in symphony orchestra, although the presence of a constantly pulsing rhythm section and the more active role of the brass group (and sometimes saxophones) is reminiscent of the sound of a jazz band at times. An important coloristic role in the ESO is played by the harp, vibraphone, timpani.

ESOs are very popular in our country. Their performances are broadcast on radio and television, they most often perform film music, participate in large variety concerts and festivals. Many Soviet composers write music specifically for the ESO. These are A. Ya. Eshpay, I. V. Yakushenko, V. N. Ludvikovsky, O. N. Khromushin, R. M. Ledenev, Yu. S. Saulsky, M. M. Kazhlaev, V. E. Ter -letsky, A. S. Mazhukov, V. G. Rubashevsky, A. V. Kalvarsky and others.

The pop music genre includes different kinds pop songs: traditional romance, modern lyric song, song in dance rhythms with advanced instrumental accompaniment. The main thing that unites numerous species pop song, - the desire of their authors for the ultimate accessibility, memorability of the melody. The roots of such democracy are in the old romance and in modern urban folklore.

Pop song is not just pure entertainment. So, in Soviet pop songs, the themes of citizenship, patriotism, the struggle for peace, etc. sound. F. Tukhmanov and other Soviet composers are loved not only in our country, but also far beyond its borders. Solovyov-Sedoy's song " Moscow Nights". In the XX century. different types of dance music succeeded each other. So, tango, rumba, foxtrot was replaced by rock and roll, twist and shake came to replace it, samba and bossa nova rhythms were very popular. For a number of years, the disco style has been widespread in pop and dance music. It arose from an alloy of Negro instrumental music with elements of singing and plasticity, typical for pop singers from Latin America, in particular from the island of Jamaica. Closely associated in Western Europe and the United States with the recording industry and the practice of discos, disco style music turned out to be one of the fast-moving trends in pop and dance music of the 2nd half of the 20th century.

Among the Soviet composers who laid down domestic traditions in the genre of dance music are A. N. Tsfasman, A. V. Varlamov, A. M. Polonsky and others.

Contemporary rock music can be attributed to the field of pop music. In the musical culture of Western Europe and the USA, this is a trend that is very colorful in terms of ideological and artistic level and aesthetic principles. It is represented both by works expressing protest against social injustice, militarism, war, and by works preaching anarchism, immorality, and violence. The musical style of the ensembles representing this trend is equally diverse. They have, however, common ground, some distinguishing features.

One of these features is the use of singing, solo and ensemble, and, consequently, the text, which carries an independent content, and the human voice as a special timbre coloring. Members of ensembles or groups often combine the functions of instrumentalists and vocalists. The leading instruments are guitars, as well as various keyboards, less often wind instruments. The sound of instruments is amplified by various sound converters, electronic amplifiers. From jazz music rock music is distinguished by a more fractional metro-rhythmic structure.

In our country, elements of rock music are reflected in the work of vocal and instrumental ensembles (VIA).

Soviet pop music, due to its mass character and wide popularity, played a significant role in aesthetic education the rising generation.
