Christmas music. Christmas theme in classical music, Music Class Christmas Musical
Christmas is Christian - one of the most beloved and long-awaited holidays from Christians around the world. In our country, Christmas has not been noted so long that people were accustomed to consider a more significant meeting of the New Year. But the time puts everything in its place - the country of the Soviets did not last and one century, but since Christ the third millennium has already gone.
Tale, music, waiting for a miracle - that's what Christmas is. And from this day, the shinties began - massive folk walking, sitting, sledding, fortuneshop, funny dances and songs.
Christmas rituals and entertainment were always accompanied by music, and the place was both for strict church chants and for perky folk.
Merry Christmas-related plots served as a source of inspiration for artists and composers who worked at the most time. The huge reservoir of religious music Baha and Handel cannot be imagined without appealing to such a significant event for the Christian world, Russian composers Tchaikovsky and Roman-Korsakov beat this topic in their fabulous operations and ballets, Christmas hymns, which appeared in the XIII century, are still very popular In Western countries.
Christmas Music and Orthodox Church
Christmas Classical Music His origins take in church chanting. In the Orthodox Church to this day, the holiday begins with a bell chime and, then the Kondak "Virgo's visit is rejuvenated to give birth." Tropear and Kondak reveal and chant the essence of the holiday.
Famous Russian composer of the XIX century D.S. Bortyansky largely devoted his creativity to church singing. He advocated the preservation of the purity of spiritual music, fencing it from the frills of musical "decorations." Many of his works, including Christmas concerts, are still sounding in Russian temples.
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Tchaikovsky's spiritual music occupies a separate niche in his work, although during the lifetime of the composer she called a lot of disputes. Tchaikovsky was accused of predominantly a secular beginning in spiritual work.
However, speaking about the theme of Christmas in classical music, first of all, the masterpieces of Peter Ilyich, quite distant from church music come to mind. This is the Opera "Cherevichki" on the plot of the story of Gogol "Night Before Christmas" and ballet "Nutcracker". Two completely different works are the narration of the unclean strength and a children's Christmas fairy tale, combined by the genius of music and the theme of Christmas.
Modern classic
Christmas classical music is not exhausted by "serious genres". Songs, especially those who loved people, can also be attributed to the classics. The most popular all over the world was born more than 150 years ago. It can be considered a musical symbol of New Year and Christmas holidays.
Today, Christmas Music, having lost its rudeness in many ways, retained the emotional promise of a festive celebration. In an example, you can bring the famous movie "One House". The American film composer John Williams turned on several Christmas songs and psalms in the Soundtrack cloth. The old music at the same time began to play in a new way, passing the indescribable festive atmosphere (let me forgive the reader for tautology).
Happy Merry Christmas!

Indeed, the fact that the whole world leads its summer from the Nativity of Christ, proves the importance of this event for a modern person.
Holidays Christmas and New Year is not the same. The new year is the national holiday meeting of the New Year, and Christmas is a church holiday. Winter holidays are one of the most beloved. Therefore, he is celebrated both in the church (the official part) and the people.
Christmas Christ is one of the big holidays of Christianity. This holiday is celebrated by Christians Catholics and Protestants on December 25 in a new style, and Orthodox Christians on January 7 for a new style. These are not two different holidays, but the same holiday, noted by different calendar style, old and new. Such a reverence of this holiday is primarily due to the Yuliansky (old style) and the Gregory (new style) calendar.
This holiday causes contradictory feelings in people, on the one hand - the appearance of a baby is always joy for people living on Earth, and he is looking forward to some disturbing and excitement; On the other hand, Jesus Christ, who appeared on Earth, was sent in human indifference to redeem the sins of mankind through his suffering, and the feelings of sadness, dooms, are connected with it; In addition, feelings of gratitude, respect, reverence in front of the Savior.
The Christmas of Christ is one of the most important holidays in all Christians of the world and one of the most beloved. Christmas celebrates people of all continents.

How quiet this night ... as she is transparent!

Caught fire for the first time above the sinful land

Music has always accompanied Christmas holidays that have passed very fun, solemnly. This holiday combines both Christian, and pagan traditions, because it coincides on December 25 - the Day of Winter Solstice, which since the most ancient times was considered a special day - a turning point when winter declines when the old year ends and the new year begins. Therefore, today we turn as samples of classical music, which is based on folk songs and church melodies.
