Feta, came out from the pen of the young man Tchaikovsky - a student of the School of Law in the second half of the 50s, and these were the first experiments of composition known to us. In total, the composer wrote 103 romances and songs, seven vocal ensembles(duets and trios).

A romance is a solo song with instrumental accompaniment. The word is Spanish, and originally it meant a song performed in Romanesque, that is, in Spanish. In the old days, romance was sung to the accompaniment of a guitar, lute, harpsichord, and later to piano accompaniment. In a romance, the feelings of a person, his peace of mind attitude towards life and nature. Romances are also instrumental pieces with expressive song melody.

A song resounds between heaven and earth,

Louder stream, louder pours.

Above his girlfriend, ringing lark

The wind carries a song, but to whom, he does not know ...

The one to whom she will understand, from whom she learns.

Someone will remember me and sigh furtively.

Nature is surprisingly diverse in colors and shapes. And how much beauty is in the forest, in the meadow, in the middle of the field, by the river, by the lake! And how many sounds in nature, the whole polyphony of choirs of insects, birds, and other animals!

Nature is a real temple of beauty, and it is no coincidence that all poets, artists, musicians drew their ideas by observing them surrounded by nature.
Music and poetry are that beautiful thing without which a person cannot live. Many composers and poets have composed beautiful works about the beauty of nature. There is a soul in nature, there is a language in it, and it is given to everyone to hear this language, to understand it. many talented people, poets, musicians managed to understand the language of nature and love it with all their hearts, therefore, they created many beautiful works.
The sounds of nature served as the basis for the creation of many musical works. Nature is powerful in music. Music was already with ancient people. primitive people sought to study the sounds of the world around them, they helped them navigate, learn about danger, hunt. Observing the objects and phenomena of nature, they created the first musical instruments- drum, harp, flute. Musicians have always learned from nature. Even the sounds of the bell that are heard in church holidays, sound due to the fact that the bell was created in the likeness of a bell flower.
In 1500, a copper flower was made in Italy, it was accidentally hit, and a melodious ringing sounded, the servants of the religious cult became interested in the bell, and now it sounds, delighting the parishioners with its ringing. Great musicians also learned from nature: Tchaikovsky did not leave the forest when he wrote children's songs about nature and the cycle “The Seasons”. The forest suggested to him the mood and motives of the piece of music.

A special place in our repertoire was occupied by romances by Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov.

He is distinguished by sensitivity to the poetic text, which gave birth to a melody full of lively "breathing" phrasing.
One of the best romances by Rachmaninov to the words of F. Tyutchev is "Spring Waters", full of the exciting power of awakening nature, youth, joy and optimism.

Snow is still whitening in the fields,
And the waters are noisy in spring.
They run and wake up the sleepy shore,
Run and shine and say ..
They say all over the place:
Spring is coming, spring is coming!
We are messengers of young spring,
She sent us ahead!"

Rakhmaninov. "Spring Waters"

Rakhmaninov. Romance "Spring Waters".

The poems of the great Russian poet Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev have been known to all Russian people since childhood. Having not yet learned to read and write, we remember his heartfelt lines by heart.

I love the storm in early May,
When spring, the first thunder,
As if frolicking and playing,
Rumbles in the blue sky.

Love and nature occupy a special place in the poet's life.

. I. Tyutchev is usually called the singer of love and nature. He was really a master of poetic landscapes, but his inspired poems are completely devoid of empty and thoughtless admiration, they are deeply philosophical. For Tyutchev, nature is identified with man, nature for him is a rational being, endowed with the ability to love, suffer, hate, admire and admire:

Fedor Tyutchev. Poems.

The theme of nature sounded for the first time with such force and pathos in Tchaikovsky's lyrics. This romance is one of Tchaikovsky's most perfect creations. It is one of the comparatively few pages of his music performed by inner harmony, the fullness of happiness.

.P. Tchaikovsky was under the spell of the lyricism of A. Tolstoy's poems, their bright open emotionality. These artistic qualities helped Tchaikovsky to create a series of masterpieces of vocal lyrics based on A. Tolstoy's poems - 11 lyrical romances and 2 duets, which absorbed a whole range of human feelings, the romance "I bless you, forests" became an expression of the composer's own thoughts about nature and the universe.

I bless you forests
Valleys, fields, mountains, waters,
I bless freedom
And blue skies.
And I bless my staff
And this poor bag
And the steppe from edge to edge,
And the sun is light, and the night is darkness,
And a lonely path
Which way, beggar, I go,
And in the field every blade of grass,
And every star in the sky.
Oh, if I could mix my whole life,
To merge my whole soul with you;
Oh, if you could in my arms
I am you, enemies, friends and brothers,
And enclose all nature!

Chaikovsky. Romance "I bless you forests".

The Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov knew firsthand about the sea. As a midshipman, and then as a midshipman on the Almaz clipper ship, he made a long journey to the North American coast. His favorite marine images appear in many of his creations.
Such, for example, is the theme of the “blue ocean-sea” in the opera Sadko. Literally in a few sounds, the author conveys the hidden power of the ocean, and this motif pervades the entire opera.

Rimsky-Korsakov. Introduction to the opera "Sadko".

Another favorite theme of musical works about nature is sunrise. Here, two of the most famous morning themes immediately come to mind, something in common with each other. Each in its own way accurately conveys the awakening of nature. These are the romantic "Morning" by E. Grieg and the solemn "Dawn on the Moscow River" by M. P. Mussorgsky.
Mussorgsky's dawn begins with a shepherd's melody, the ringing of bells seems to be woven into the growing orchestral sound, and the sun rises higher and higher above the river, covering the water with golden ripples.

Mussorgsky. "Dawn on the Moscow River".

Among the musical works about nature, the “big zoological fantasy» Saint-Saens for chamber ensemble. The frivolity of the idea determined the fate of the work: "Carnival", the score of which Saint-Saens even forbade to publish during his lifetime, was fully performed only in the circle of the composer's friends. single number cycle, published and performed publicly during the life of Saint-Saens - the famous "Swan", which in 1907 became a masterpiece of ballet art performed by the great Anna Pavlova.

Saint-Saens. "Swan"

Haydn, like his predecessor, makes extensive use of the possibilities different instruments to convey the sounds of nature, such as a summer thunderstorm, the chirping of grasshoppers and a frog choir. Haydn's musical works about nature are associated with people's lives - they are almost always present in his "pictures". So, for example, in the finale of the 103rd symphony, we seem to be in the forest and hear the signals of the hunters, for the image of which the composer resorts to a well-known means - the golden move of the horns. Listen:

Haydn. Symphony No. 103, finale.

The text is compiled from various sources.

The predominant sphere of Rachmaninov's romances was lyrics, the world of personal feelings and moods. Therefore, they are emotionally open, sincere and direct. Rachmaninov sought to capture the main mood of a particular poetic text in a bright melodic way. At the same time, the composer is distinguished by a careful, attentive attitude to the poetic word, does not allow arbitrary permutations of words or repetitions that violate the form of the verse.

Rachmaninoff wrote many romances based on poetry about nature. The composer was attracted by the landscape lyrics of various Russian poets. This article will focus on the features of the landscape by A. Fet, A. K. Tolstoy, F. Tyutchev, I. Bunin, whose work Rachmaninoff repeatedly turned to.

Fet's sense of nature is universal. It is almost impossible to single out the purely landscape lyrics of Fet without breaking ties with human personality, subordinate general laws natural being. Fet is a magnificent connoisseur of the life of nature. In his poems, it is full of harmony and poetic events. Roses are sad and laughing, the bell in the flower garden is ringing thinly. Dahlias appear before our eyes, burned by the breath of the first frost, a fluffy spring willow spreads its branches, a tumbleweed driven by the wind comes to life. Fet looks at animals, birds, insects in detail. He distinguishes the voices of a nightingale, a lark, rooks, herons, a lapwing, a cuckoo, a knock of a "fidgety" woodpecker. In his poems one can meet a crafty fish, a worm, midges, bees, a sparrow, swallows, cranes, a rooster, a “silver” hare, a “watchdog”. This whole world breathes, moves, enjoys life.

Attention is drawn to Fet's predilection for the effects of contrasting lighting, brilliance and reflection, which brings to mind the methods of work of the Impressionists. The moon, the candle, the surface of the lake are usually perceived in his poems as the real sources of these effects, and not as traditional elegiac details:

Moonlight from above
Obdap fields,
And in the ravine the gleam of water,
Shade and willow
("What an evening!")

Over the lake a swan stretched into a reed,
The forest overturned in the water,
He drowned in the dawn with the teeth of the peaks,
Between two curving skies
("Over the lake a swan...")

What happiness: both the night and we are alone!
The river is like a mirror, and everything glitters with stars
("What a blessing...")

The attraction to the play of light and shadow, object and reflection is associated with Fet's idealistic aesthetics, with an attempt to find the world of beauty in pure human perception. In the poem "Diana", for example, the reflection of the face of the goddess in the water, swayed by the wind, gives life to the motionless marble. Glare from a fire in the forest creates a fantastic and festive picture in the poet's imagination ("Bright sun in the forest ...").

The poem “I like it in the room” is entirely built on the description of the moonbeam that entered the room and the play of light and shadow on the leaves of trees. Sometimes it seems that Fet opposes two worlds of Beauty - the earthly reality and its ideal appearance, displayed in the human mind. He does not seem to dare to immediately determine the superiority of one of these worlds:

To whom is the crown: the goddess of beauty,
Or in the mirror with her image?
The poet is confused when you marvel
His rich imagination.

But a sober feeling of the fullness of real being and the dependence of depth on it human perception the world always wins over Fet:

Not me, my friend, but God's world is rich,
In a speck of dust, he cherishes life and multiplies,
And that one of yours expresses a look
That the poet cannot retell.

Rachmaninov's romance "What happiness" to the verses of Fet combines a passionate lyrical feeling with the image of nature. The dreamy atmosphere of a quiet night landscape is replaced at the moment of culmination by an enthusiastic impulse, in which one can hear a joyful intoxication with life and a thirst for merging with the outside world.

The landscape lyrics of A.K. Tolstoy inspired Rachmaninov to write three romances: “It was getting dark ...”, “Do you remember the evening ...”, “You, my field ...”.

In A.K. Tolstoy, most of the landscape masterpieces were written in the 70-80s of the XIX century. A passionate hunter, Tolstoy involuntarily gets involved in a kind of "business" relationship with nature, which turns into an excellent knowledge of her life. A.K. Tolstoy does not frame his discreet, clear landscapes with the “frame” of the picture, does not seek to carefully organize them aesthetically. He looks at nature more soberly, as if conscious of its spontaneous expediency. Sometimes he deliberately lists unpretentious details of the usual rural landscape.

Tolstoy's landscape lyrics include both sound and visual impressions:

Silence and silence. Only sleepy thrushes
How reluctantly they finish their singing; Steam rises from the meadow ... a twinkling star
At my feet, a reflection appeared in the water;
It blew cool, and last year's leaf
Rustled in the oaks...

The story flows naturally, a fairly long period of time is captured: the poet put a description of the hunt into a poem.

The transition from pictures of nature to inner world human A.K. Tolstoy does it easily, more often in contrast, without endowing the landscape with versatility:

But why, suddenly, painfully and passionately,
The past breathed on me unexpectedly ...

In another case, the poet directly speaks of attractive force natural phenomena that provoke him to think and compare:

On the ground, a yellow leaf falls behind a leaf;
Involuntarily, I follow them with a thoughtful gaze ...
("Transparent clouds calm movement...")

The landscapes of A.K. Tolstoy do not pretend to grandiosity or exclusivity; they do not include descriptions of mountains, the sea, and wide steppes. They are often built on the charm of individual, well-known, even familiar details:

The door to the damp porch opened again,
In the midday rays traces of the recent cold
Smoke. A warm wind blew in our face
And wrinkles on the fields blue puddles.
("The door opened again...")

There is a whole complex of various, specific sensations in which you can see exact examples of the coming spring.

In the romance "Do you remember the evening" Rachmaninoff in musical sounds intertwines the feeling of perceiving nature with the feelings born intimacy with your beloved. The noise of the sea, the songs of the nightingale, the rustling of acacia branches, the “roar of the rain stream”, merging, form a unique harmony of all-consuming happiness.

One of the pinnacles of Rachmaninov vocal creativity The 1890s are "Spring Waters" to the verses of Tyutchev.

A poet-thinker, excited by the age-old and deep questions of being, Tyutchev was a penetrating and subtle artist. He is often called the "singer of nature". This name is justified both by the poet's constant desire to philosophically understand the life of the universe, and by his inherent living and direct relationship to nature. Envying the "ancient peoples", Tyutchev in many respects seemed to be approaching the ancient world outlook. In some of his poems, traditional mythological images("Spring Thunderstorm", "Vision"). In others, using personifications, Tyutchev resorts to a kind of myth-making ("Summer Evening", "Spring Waters"). Even more characteristic of the poet is the romantic idea of ​​the universal animation of nature, which underlies all his figurative system. Proving that nature is "not a cast, not a soulless face," he speaks of it in the same words as of a "reasonable being":

It has a soul, it has freedom,
It has love, it has a language
(“Not what you think, nature ...”)

Often, through appeals to the phenomena and pictures of nature, Tyutchev reveals complex world human experiences. He has poems built on the principle of parallelism between an image borrowed from nature and one state or another of a person. For example, the poem "Fountain", also set to music by Rachmaninoff:

See how the cloud is alive
The shining fountain swirls;
How it burns, how it crushes
Its in the sun wet smoke.
Rising to the sky with a beam, he
Touched the cherished height,
Nenova fire-colored dust
To fall to the ground is condemned.

Sometimes the analogy of a person is hidden in the subtext, giving the poem a symbolic character (“What are you bending over the waters”, “Wrapped around the thing with drowsiness”). But regardless of whether or not there is a direct analogy or a hidden symbol in the verses, his landscape lyrics real visible signs are characteristic. Tyutchev's epithet is usually logically clear and, at the same time, emotionally expressive. Such, for example, is the epithet “as if crystal”, which conveys the feeling of a fine day in early autumn (“There is in the original autumn ...”). The poet is able to discover in the word a new yet unnoticed shade of meaning. His birch trees are not dressed, but “faned” with young spring foliage (“First Leaf”), the night “evaporates” in the light of the “lazy” and “timidly” emerging winter day (“December Morning”). The poet finds very precise words to convey the visual impression of the rainbow:

One end plunged into the woods.
Others went beyond the clouds -
She covered half the sky
And exhausted in height
("How unexpected and bright...")

According to the musicologist V.A. Vasina-Trossman, Rachmaninov’s “Spring Waters” is “a hymn to elemental impulses, to the violent flowering of young forces.” mental strength. The image of nature is gaining wide symbolic meaning. Almost like a battle cry sounds the phrase "Spring is coming!".

One of the most remarkable examples of Rachmaninov's vocal lyrics in terms of depth and capacity of figurative content is the romance "The Night is Sad" to the verses of I. Bunin. The composer was associated with Bunin for many years by mutual sympathy and common artistic views. They were brought together and made related by a passionate love for Russian nature, to the signs of a simple life already leaving in the immediate vicinity of a person to the world around him, the poetic attitude.

Bunin in his lyrics speaks of nature as the focus of harmony. To be natural, like nature itself, is the ideal of Bunin the poet. Not only delight in nature, but also a passionate thirst for reunion with her - this is the theme in the poem of 16-year-old Bunin

You open me, nature, hugs,
So that I stick with your beauty!
(“Wider, chest, open for acceptance ...”)

Bunin believes that in the naturalness of being is the source of the main values ​​​​of human existence: peace, cheerfulness, joy. Bunin persistently repeats, enriching with new metaphors, the humanization (anthropomorphism) of nature that has long arisen in Russian lyrics. Tyutchev-sounding poetry of foz as a symbol of the renewal of the world is directly projected into human life. But Tyutchev's theme takes on an unexpected twist with Bunin. The poet hears in the spring thunderstorm not only thunder, but also silence:

How mysterious you are, thunder!
How I love your silence!
("The fields smell")

The image of a lonely traveler, wandering at night, in the wilderness to a distant, obscure, but irresistibly attractive goal, acquires a symbolic meaning in a short, concise Bunin poem "The Night is Sad":

The night is sad, like my dreams.
Far away in the wide deserted steppe
The light is flickering lonely...
There is a lot of sadness and love in the heart.

But to whom, and how will you tell,
What is calling you, what is the heart full of?
The way is far, the deaf steppe is silent,
The night is sad, like my dreams.

The eternal desire for the unattainable is one of the main motives of romantic art - this is how the whole romantic artist imagined. human life. Rachmaninov subtly caught the lyrical polysemy of Bunin's poetic text. In a wide expressive melody, a passionate thirst for life is heard.

S. Rachmaninov can rightly be called a singer of nature. In his landscape romances, he reached the same brilliant artistic heights that A. Fet, A.K. Tolstoy, F. Tyutchev, I. Bunin. Landscape art unites Rachmaninov and these poets. The sharpness of vision, the subtlety of the image, the loving attention to the smallest details of the life of the native Russian nature, the perfection of the multi-colored “brush” make the poems of Russian poets and Rakhmaninov's romances immortal.

1. Musical and poeticcreation people , an integral part offolk art , which exists, as a rule, in oral form, passed down from generation to generation (Folk music)

2. Musical works related to textsreligious nature intended for execution duringchurch service or in everyday life (Spiritual music)

3. This is a small vocal work with instrumental accompaniment. Such a work is written on the basis of lyric poetry. (ROMANCE)

A romance is a work written for voice accompanied by an ensemble or one instrument. "Romance" is a Spanish word meaning "in Spanish", that is, performed as in Spain. This term appeared in the Middle Ages. It meant that the vocal work was performed by a Spanish singer in the Spanish style. Soon the whole world began to call secular song "romance". In the old days, the romance was sung to the accompaniment of a guitar, lute, harpsichord, later accompanied by a piano.

The main difference between a romance and a song is that in the first one the melody is very closely connected with literary text. Each word is emphasized by the melody, rhythm and character of the music, while in the song the music serves only as an accompaniment. Therefore, in a romance, the accompaniment is no less important than the vocal part.

In the 18th century, a widespread passion for romance began. This happened due to the fact that the great poets created their works at this particular time. A lot of romances were written to the verses of I. V. Goethe, A. S. Pushkin, M. Yu. Lermontov, A. A. Fet.

A completely new kind of romance has appeared in Russia - “ gypsy romance". Naturally, it is designed for simple guitar and violin accompaniment, as well as for non-professional singing of the performer. However, the gypsy romance became quite popular in the 19th century and has survived into modern times. Romances were composed by many Russian composers: M.I. Glinka, P.I. Tchaikovsky, N. Rimsky-Korsakov, S.S. Prokofiev and many others paid tribute to this wonderful vocal genre.

1. Hearing.

What is the difference between a romance and a song? The romance lacks a chorus, and the melody and accompaniment are more complex compared to the song. The romance deeply reveals the feelings of a person, his spiritual world, attitude to life and nature. Therefore, most romances are about love and nature.

What is "accompaniment"accompaniment of a melody on a musical instrument).

What words can describe the melody of the romance "Lark"?(smooth, sad, sad, lingering, dreary ...)

How are romances different? (Character…….)

What do romances have in common? (depicted pictures of nature)

What did Rachmaninoff want to show in his romance? (the arrival of spring, nature wakes up ....)
