Messages of children

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in 1840 in Votkinsk, a small town - the factory in the Urals. From early childhood, the boy pulled the piano, behind which he spent his free minutes. Seven years old Tchaikovsky recorded his children's impressions. Parents of the future composer were musical and often conducted amateur concerts. Peasant songs sounded around. Since childhood, he penetrates the beauty of Russian folk music. This later was reflected in his work. Album P.I. Tchaikovsky "Seasons" was established in 1876 in St. Petersburg. It was 135 years ago.

The music album is made up of 12 pieces.

Brief information about the composer Antonio Vivaldi.

Antonio Vivaldi was born on March 4, 1678 in Venice. There is little information about the youthful years of the composer and his musical education. Most likely, it was his father who became his first musical mentor. He taught him a violin game. From ten years, Antonio began to play a violin, replaced his father in the chapel of the St. Mark's Cathedral due to its frequent rents from Venice.

Vivaldi is the largest representative of Italian violin art of the 17th century. Created a genre of a solo concert, influenced the development of virtuoso violin techniques.

During his lifetime, he became known as a composer capable of creating a opera in five days and compose many variations on one topic. He became famous for the whole of Europe as a violin-virtuoso.

Antonio Vivaldi's musical heritage was little-known in the 18-19 century, it was in oblivion for almost 200 years and only in the 20s of the 20th century by the Italian musicologist discovered the collections of the composer's manuscripts.

Listening to the work "November, on Troika"

November- Although the autumn month is, but the winter will come. Selica sat down more likely to the winter forest on the triple.

Close your eyes, listen to the sound and try to present. What draws a composer in his music, what feelings expresses in music.

Noticed how the character of music is changing? (Listen to half, present the picture, listen to the end)

The play begins with a wide melody that resembles the driving Russian folk song. Following it, the echoes of sad thoughts begin to hear. But then the bells attached to the top of the horses are closer and closer. A cheerful chime for a while mocks sad spirits. But then the first melody is returned again.

Artists paint nature. Maybe it was after listening to this play by the artist Nikolai Sverchkova, this work was born.

How good in the Winter Forest! On the branches is snow, huge drifts. The wide road leads the distance. Rushing with a cheerful chime Sani, harvested by the top of the horses.

Tchaikovsky "February"

Vivaldi "Winter"

What music is in character?

What did you pretend? (Wind, blizzard whenaming)

What did you notice? (feelings are experiencing the same, emotions alone and the same)

Listening to the work of Vivaldi "Spring"

Vivaldi himself gave a description of Spring: birds welcome their singing, rug swallows. The sky is covered with dark clouds. Lightning and thunder announce the spring. On a blooming lawn, a shepherd.

Listening to the work of Tchaikovsky "March"

The music of the first month of spring is called the larks. She is tender, ringing. Very similar to TRELLY ZHAVORONEK, Fresh fragrance of spring.

The Russian artist Levitan "Mart". As a surprisingly similar musical play of Tchaikovsky and the painting of Levitan. The artist tried to transfer the coldness of the March air, but the sun rays are already warm, it feels snow. All nature is waiting for real spring.

Fizminutka "Smile"

The sun shines in our soul, in the soul there was spring, joy, smiles.

At all times, the music not only entertained people, but also comforted, helped cope with spiritual experiences. Tchaikovsky dreamed so that people love nature, each other, sought to good. Tchaikovsky's music is always alive in the hearts of people, no matter how many years have passed. Because it is eternal.

In Moscow, a monument to the Russian composer was established. May 7 - 170 anniversary.

Total lesson

Italian composer Vivaldi and Russian composer Tchaikovsky lived at different times and in different countries. Vivaldi in the 17th century in Italy. Tchaikovsky in the 19th century in Russia. And the feelings and mood were having the same.

Conclusion: Music language is understandable for people of all countries. Music has no borders.

Reflection

What is the difference between the music of Vivaldi from Tchaikovsky's music? (Vivaldi-Violin, Tchaikovsky- Symphony Orchestra Violin, Cello, Pipe, Voltrator)

Fixing

How do you distinguish the music of Vivaldi from Tchaikovsky's music? (I turn on the passages of music, if Vivaldi sounds - show the red signal card, and if Music Tchaikovsky sounds)

Why do you think so?

We continue the topic "Seasons in music"

Consultation "Nature in Music, Music in Nature"

Consultation "Nature in Music, Music in Nature"

What is music? Music is a type of art. The means of sending mood and feeling in music are specially organized sounds. The main elements and expressive means of music are: melody, rhythm, meter, pace, dynamics, timbre, harmony, tools and others.

Music is a very good agent to educate an artistic taste in a child, she is able to influence the mood, in psychiatry there are even special music therapy. With the help of music, you can even affect the health of a person: when a person hears fast music, he has a pultsee, he rises, he starts to move and think faster.

Music is made to divide in genres and species. Musical works of each genre and species, as a rule, to easily distinguish each other due to the specific musical properties of each

What is nature? Interesting and fascinating question. At school in younger grades, we once studied such an item - Nature. Nature is a living organism that is born is developing, creating and creates, and then dies, and the fact that she created millions of years either flourishes further in other conditions or dies along with it.

Nature is the outside world in which we live; This world is subordinate to the laws unchanged over millions. Nature is primary, it cannot be created by a person and we must perceive it as a given.

In a narrower sense, the word nature means the essence of something - the nature of feelings, for example.

Nature sounds served as the basis for creating many musical works. Nature is powerful sounds in music.

The music was already among the ancient people. Primitive people sought to study the sounds of the surrounding world, they helped them to navigate, learn about the danger, hunting. Watching the objects and phenomena of nature, they created the first musical instruments - drum, harp, flute.

Musicians have always studied from nature. Even the sounds of the bells, which are distributed in church holidays, sounds due to the fact that the bell created the likeness of the bell flower.

Nature and great musicians studied: Tchaikovsky did not leave the forest when he wrote children's songs about nature and cycle "Seasons". The forest suggested him the mood and motifs of the musical work.

The list of musical works about nature is great and diverse. I will give only some works on the spring topic:

I. Gaidn. Seasons, h. 1

F. Schubert. Spring Son.

J. Bizet. Pastoral

Sviridov. Spring Cantata

A. Vivaldi "Spring" from the cycle "Seasons of the Year"

V. A. Mozart "Parish of Spring" (Song)

R. Schuman "Spring" Symphony

E. Grieg "Spring" (Piazza Piazza)

N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov "Snow Maiden" (Spring Fairy Tale)

P. I. Tchaikovsky "It was early spring"

S. V. Rakhmaninov "Spring Water"

I. O. Dunaevsky "Murchat Brooki"

Astor Piazzolla. "Spring" (from "Seasons in Buenos Aires")

I. Strauss. Spring (FRHLING)

I. Stravinsky "Spring sacred"

Sviridov "Spring and sorcerer"

D. Kabalevsky. Symphony poem "Spring".

S. V. Rakhmaninov. Spring - Cantata for Bariton, Choir and Orchestra.

And so you can continue for a long time.

It should be noted that the composers perceived and reflected images of nature in their works in different ways:

b) Pantheistic perception of nature - N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov, Mahler;

c) the romantic perception of nature as a reflection of the inner world of man;

Consider the "Spring" plays from the cycle "Seasons" P. I. Tchaikovsky.

"The seasons" Tchaikovsky is a kind of musical diary of the composer, imprinuable his heart episodes of life, meetings and paintings of nature. The encyclopedia of the Russian manor life of the XIX century, St. Petersburg city landscape can be called this cycle of 12 characteristic patterns for piano. His images are captured by Tchaikovsky and endless Russian expanses, and the village life, and the pictures of the St. Petersburg city landscapes, and the scenes from the home musical life of Russian people of that time.

"Seasons" P. I. Tchaikovsky

Composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky elected the genre of piano miniatures for his twelve months. But the same piano is capable of transmitting nature paints no worse than the choir and orchestra. Here is a spring jurisdiction of the lark, and the joyful awakening of the snowdrop, and the dreamy romance of white nights, and a livelot of a bootman, striking on river waves, and field works of peasants, and the psovy hunting, and anxious and sad autumn fading nature.

12 Pieces -12 pictures from the Russian life of Tchaikovsky received with epigraphs from the poems of Russian poets:

(audio and video app)

Lark - a field bird, which in Russia is honored as a spring poultry. Her singing is traditionally associated with the arrival of spring, awakening from winter hibernation of the whole nature, the beginning of a new life. The picture of the spring Russian landscape is drawn very simple, but expressive means. The entire music is based on two topics: annealing lyrical melody with a modest accompaniment and the second, related to it, but with big takeoffs and a wide breathing. In the organic weave of these two topics and various shades of moods - dreamily sad and light - the conquering charm of the entire play is. Both themes have elements that are reminded TRELL Spring Lark song. The first theme creates a peculiar framing by a more unfolded second topic. Concelted the play by the thieves of the Trell Lark.

"Carnival of animals" K. Saint-Sansa

Camille Saint-Sans among musical works about nature is a "big zoological fantasy" of Saint-Sansa for chamber ensemble.

In the cycle of 13 parts, describing different animals, and the final part, which combines all the numbers into a solid product. It's funny that the composer is taken to the number of animals and beginner pianists, diligently playing gammas.

No. 1, "Introduction and the royal march of a lion", consists of two sections. The first immediately adjusts the comic way, in the second section the most trivial marchs, rhythmic and melodic

No. 2, "Chicken and Rooshi", are built on a sound-shock, favorite by the French Clavesicians of the end of the XVII - the first half of the XVIII centuries. The Saint Sanxes echoes the piano (the pianist plays with one right hand) and two violins, to which the Alt and Clarinet later join.

In number 3 appear "Kulans - animals are fast

No. 4, "Turtles", contrast the previous

No. 5, "Elephant", uses a selection parody. Here the piano accompanies the solo of double bass: the lowest instrument of the orchestra, heavy and low-modular.

"Elephant" (audio and video app)

In No. 6, Kangaroo, jumping exotic Australian animals are transferred to Stakkato chords.

No. 7, "Aquarium", draws a silent underwater world. Smoothly flowing overflowing passengers.

No. 8, "Character with long ears", now instead of two pianos, two violins sound, and their jumps on huge intervals in a free tempo imitate the crude donkey.

No. 9, "Cuckoo in the depths of the forest", again based on a sound resistance, but a completely different warehouse.

In No. 10, the "poultry house", solo another wooden tool - flute, as if an executing virtuoso concert accompanied by strings. Her graceful twitter merges with the bellows trills of two piano.

No. 11, "Pianists",

№ 12, "Fossils", another musical parody

No. 13, "Swan", the only serious number in this comic suite paints a light ideal. In the amazing beauty of the singement melody of the cello, supported by a smooth swaying accompaniment of two pianos, the characteristic features of the composer style are concentrated.

No. 14, the detailed finale, uses all the tools, up to silent the flute-piccolo, and some themes of previous numbers, which gives the motley alternation of the variekrastructural images known integrity. The frame is the initial topic of the introduction, which opens the final. Like refrain, another Boyky Cacan sounds, and there are already familiar characters between his repetitions: the kulans are rushed, the chicken jacket, jump kangaroo, screaming donkey.

"Swan" (audio and video app)

For a hundred years, "Swan" remains the most popular play of Saint-Sansa. His arrangements are made almost for all existing tools, vocal processing "Swan - above the water", "Lake Grez" and even "Mother of Cabriña, Holy XX century." The most famous ballet number "Dying Swan", who became famous for this music by the famous Russian choreographer Mikhail Fokin for Anna Pavlova, one of the best ballerinas of the beginning of the 20th century.

And in conclusion, I would like to note that all writers, composers, artists, as convinced connoisseurs of genuine beauty, prove that the influence of a person in nature should not be destructive for her, because every meeting with nature is a meeting with beautiful, touching the secret .

Love nature means not only to enjoy it, but also carefully treat it.

Man is a single whole with nature. He will not be able to exist without it. The main task of a person is to preserve and multiply its wealth. And at the moment Nature really needs care.

After personifying nature, music can make a person think about her fate.

In the summer it is hot, in winter it is cold. Spring is planted, in the fall they collect. And so from year to year. For us, this is familiar before evidence, and not just important, and perhaps this is generally the most important thing for which we can catch in this world. This is called cyclical. If it suddenly falls in the summer or in the midst of winter flowers bloom, then not only a person will go crazy, but even such animals who have no mind. All nature, including us with you, is discomfort. And on the contrary - when everything goes according to plan, according to the cycle, we feel calm and confident.

The same is the same in music. Listening to the original concert of the Italian author of the 18th century, we know that it will have three parts - fast, slow and fast again. And if we came to the classic symphony, we are almost confident that in the first (fast) part there will be slow accession, and then dramatic collisions, in the second (slow) part - the meditative understanding of what happened in the first part, in the third part, we will finally relax and Menuet will be stacked, and in the final there will be a funny life-affirming Rondo, returning us to the life cheer. And if the author of the symphonia suddenly replaces Menuet on the scherzo, and also puts it on the second place, before the slow part, then we immediately understand: he wants to say something very important, since he decided on such liberty with a cycle!

But even if you do not take such subtleties of formation, available to enlightened lovers, the fact remains a fact: the theme of cyclicity, in particular, in the example of the time of the year, occupied composers at all times. The most famous writings on four seasons are cycle of four concerts for violin with the Orchestra "Seasons" Antonio Vivaldi (Antonio Lucio Vivaldi) of 1723 ...

and the oratorio "Seasons" Joseph Haydn (Franz Joseph Haydn) of 1801.

It is quite natural that the composers associated the annual cycle with the human life cycle - from birth to death. Therefore, "seasons" and Vivaldi, and Haidna begin with spring and end in winter.

The only known "seasons", which goes pedantically from January to December is the "seasons" (1876) Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who do not carry any "vital" concept, and written simply in the form of musical tabs in a monthly magazine, as a result What happened not to the cycle at all, but a kind of musical calendar. That does not detract from the charm of the most comfortable piano Pieces of Tchaikovsky.

The ingenious decision theme of the time of the year found a violinist Gyuton Kremer, which connected in one disk "Seasons" Antonio Vivaldi and "Seasons in Buenos Aires" Astor Piazzolla (Naturally, specially processed for his Kremerata Baltica orchestra). They begin with the "Spring" of Vivaldi, for which the Piazzollas should be "spring in Buenos Aires", then summer is going and so on, and on the fading last chord of the last composition - 'Winter in Buenos Aires' - again sounds on Pianissimo the initial topic again Spring "Vivaldi performed by clussery, thus closing the entire double cycle.

Listening to the "Seasons", no matter what author, of course, it would be nice to imagine an associative series associated with cyclical in our life, in nature and in music, then much becomes clear. Ironic remarks of the "red monk" Vivaldi, written by his hand in score, but often ignored by "serious" performers; moral texts in the aria and the spectatives of the Gaidna Oratorio; sometimes not quite relevant epigraphs for 12 months of Tchaikovsky (remaining, by the way, at the conscience of the publisher of the journal Nuevelist N. M. Bernard) - All this gives us the fertile ground for the perception of music, even if we sometimes do not quite appreciate the beauty of the forms and grace musical solutions.

I'll start with a famous joke

The six-year-old boy is going to school. At the interview, he is asked how much he knows the seasons?

The child thinks over and confidently says:

The teacher tactfully hints to him:

And if you think?

The guy is thinking for a moment and says:

Honest word, I no longer remember ...

The teacher asks mom and boy to pass the corridor for a minute. There Mom indignantly asks the child:

What six? What do you disgrace me?!

Mum! - I almost cry answers her son, - I really don't remember anyone, except Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Gaidna, Piazzola, Gavrillin and Glazunov!

True, these are the names of the greatest composers who left entire collections of works from the "Seasons" cycle. All these cycles are very different: Barbonic and exquisite from Antonio Vivaldi, touching Peter Tchaikovsky, passionate to Astor Piazzollah, grandiose in Haidna and melodiously gentle in Valery Gavrilina. All works together form musical unity, as the nature itself, passing through all seasonal changes in the year-round cycle. I'll tell you about the cycles that I love.

Antonio Vivaldi

Perhaps the most famous cycle "Seasons" of the authorship of Antonio Vivaldi. This creation presented him with immortal glory and inspired on many composers and improvisers. Its cycle consists of 4 concerts, each of which is dedicated to one time of the year and consists of three parts corresponding to a certain month. Each of the concerts precedes sonnet, whose authorship is attributed to Vivaldi himself.

I really like the winter sonnet:

Tremble, frozen, in cold snow,

And the north of the wind wave rolled.

From the journey, teeth knock on the run,

Bring your legs, it is not able to warm up.

How sweet in comfort, warm and silence

From evil bad weather to hide in winter.

Fireplace fire, pollus Miragei.

And the soul froze full rest.

On the winter, the people bother.

Fell, slipping, and rolls again.

And happily hear how ice cuts

Under the sharp skate, that iron is counted.

And in the sky, Sirocco with Boree agreed,

It's not a joke between the battle.

Although the plug and blizzard have not yet surrendered

Gives us winter and their pleasure.

Since all the works of Vivaldi are created in the paradigm of baroque thinking, they suggest mandatory slight senses, hints and symbols. First of all, seasons are the four ages of a person from birth to death. In the second, - a hint of the day and four regions of Italy (Spring - Morning - Venice, summer - noon - Naples, autumn - evening - Rome, Winter - Midnight - Bologna). As well as the "seasons" of Vivaldi became the prophecy of his own life - the first part was his training, the second - the recognition of the virtuoso, the third is a bitter disappointment in his own illusions, and the final is the last sigh of the farewell to the brignine and such a non-constant peace.

Josef Gaidn

Josef Haydn, the son of a carriage master who did not really study music, but became a very talented composer, awarded many honored ranks and was elected a member of music academies. In the last years of his life, Haidn became interested in choral music. He made this interest after visiting the Grand Festival in honor of George Friedrich Handel, organized in the Westminster Cathedral.

Haydn then created several MESS, as well as the oratory "Seasons" and "Creation of the World". The drama of the oratorio "Seasons" is built on a leisurely change of contrasting paintings. The four times of the year correspond to 4 parts of the oratory - "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", "Winter", each of which has its own color. All parts consist of a number of numbers, the total number of them 47.

The final part of the "time of the year" marks the final stage of the life cycle, this is the period of wilting and finding calm. Strict sadness is replaced by positive moods. The whole "winter" forms a solid flow of contradictory feelings - the joy is replaced by pain, love - the feeling of loss of love.

The central part of the "winter" - Aria Simon. This is a hymn that approves the originality of any life, saying that life is valuable, and man is immortal, because after his care remains on earth and in the hearts of close-in cases that they were committed. The final "winter" becomes choral singing - a positive and performed joy of the upcoming new life. The name of the episode speaking - "And the dawn stands." So the oratorio is so slapped, claiming the eternal cycle of the events of the world.

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Collection of piano pies P.I. Tchaikovsky "Seasons" consists of 12 small music sketches, which correspond to 12 months of the year. Means of musical sounds The composer draws a picture of nature or mental state of a person at a certain course of the year. Surprisingly accurately transferred the slightest movements of the soul and changes in nature, so exactly that words are not required, just a poetic epigraph, which helps to tune in to the picture.

Most composers "Winter" is the final part and marks the end. Only Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky "Seasons" from winter begin.

Slightly sad, but very bright, the winter theme of the play "At Camelka. January "fills the heart as peacefulness. Let the wind and cold outside the window, and a small fireplace is always cozy. Quiet thoughtfulness is replaced by a youthful delete of the next plays "Carnival. February". The ringing of the buberets, and the horror rugs, and the removal of the people's dance, are heard. And so on by natural cycle.

Astor Piazzolla

"Seasons in Buenos Aires" - another famous cycle on seasonality. He was created by Astor Piazzola between 1965 and 1970. The cycle parts have never been strictly interconnected and not always executed together. Astor Piazzollah - the height of the style named Nuevo Tango, presenting his tango in a modern key, enraged the elements of jazz and classical music. Piazzollah he left a huge creative heritage - about 1000 works. And almost all played himself with his musicians.

"Seasons in Buenos Aires" is four tango: "Autumn", "Winter", "Spring", "Summer".

"Seasons" Piazzol begin not from "Spring" or "Winter", but with the "Autumn" (perhaps because in the southern hemisphere, where Argentina is located, the opposite is: when in Europe, the autumn is in Europe) .

Nevertheless, the Astor Piazzollah boldly combine Latin American and jazz motives with a classical tradition, and a periodically emerging the theme of Vivaldievsky "thunderstorms" testifies not to a simple imitation of the great predecessor, but about the continuity translated into a modern musical language.

Regardless of what time of year outside the window, listen to any selection from the "Seasons" cycle to choose the composer that you closer.

As an artist describes the nature of paints, the composer and musician describes the nature of the music. From the great composers, we got the whole collections of works from the cycle "Seasons of the Year".

Seasons in music, the same different colors and sounds, as different works in the work of musicians of different times, different countries and different style. Together they form the music of nature. This is the cycle of the seasons of the Italian composer of the Baroque A. Vivaldi era. Touching to the depths of the play on Piano P. I. Tchaikovsky. And also, be sure to try the taste of an unexpected tango of the time of the year A. Piazzollah, the grand oratorio of J. Haydna and a gentle soprano, a melodic piano in the music of the Soviet composer V. A. Gavrilina.
