Yuriev in the moonlight. Retro music

Words and music by Evgeny Yuriev.

In the moonlight
The snow is silvery;
Along the road
The C-grade is racing.


The bell is ringing ...
This ringing, this sound
He speaks to me a lot.

In the moonlight
Early spring
I remembered the meetings
My friend, with you ...

Your bell
The young voice rang ...
"Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding!" -
He sang sweetly about love ...

I remembered the hall
With a noisy crowd
Cute face
With a white veil ...

"Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding!" -
The clinking of glasses sounds ...
With a young wife
My rival is worth it!

Best Performance. Evgeniya Smolyaninova

The romance "Ding-ding-ding" (aka "In the moonlight" and "Bell") refers to the so-called coachman songs.

Written by a poet and musician Evgeny Dmitrievich Yuriev(1882—1911).

YURIEV EVGENY DMITRIEVICH-- Russian poet, composer,the author of romances, among which: "In the moonlight", "Hey, coachman, drive to the" Yar "," Why love, why suffer ", etc.

There are more than fifteen romances by E. D. Yuriev of 1894-1906 to his own words and music, as well as eleven romances and songs, including "gypsy" songs, to his words performed by A. N. Chernyavsky.

Gennady Kamenny. The singer I like!

Information about the biography of E. D. Yuriev is almost not preserved.

The romance "In the moonlight" ("Tinker-ding-ding", "Bell") continues in Russian song culture the coachman theme, begun by the romance "Here is a daring troika rushing ..." in 1828. Little is known about the history of the creation of the romance, it was simply composed - and that's it.

For a while a singer performed with him Anastasia Vyaltseva (1871—1913).

Natalia Muravyova sings. I love this singer!

Now the romance has become one of the most popular and is included in the repertoire of many performers and is very often used in performances and films.

First recorded on gramophone record on July 11, 1909 Maria Alexandrovna Karinskaya(1884-1942), pop artist and performer of romances.

In May 1904 she first appeared on the Moscow stage in the operetta by V. Kazansky. Newspapers spoke rather flatteringly about the debutante, wrote about her effective appearance, about a strong beautiful voice (mezzo-soprano). Soon Maria Karinskaya, leaving the theater, began performing on the stage with the performance of romances.

Lilya Muromtseva sings well

In 1911, Karinskaya became the winner of the competition for the best performance of romances organized at the Passage Theater in St. Petersburg, she was awarded the first prize and was awarded the title of "Queen of the Gypsy Romance"

After that, the singer found herself at the top of the national pop Olympus. In 1913, Karinskaya began performing with the accompanist A. Taskin Vyaltseva.

During the years of patriotic upsurge after the outbreak of the war with Germany, Karinskaya staged "Evenings of Russian Antiquity", where she sang old folk songs and ballads in colorful Russian costumes, accompanied by an orchestra of folk instruments.
Even before the revolution, Maria Karinskaya married an English aristocrat who served as a diplomat in Russia, and left with her husband to England. How her future life developed is not known.

The romance was also included in the repertoire of Anastasia Vyaltseva.

Ding-ding-ding ("Bell")

In the moonlight, the snow is silvery, C grade rushes along the road. Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding - The bell is ringing, This ringing, this ringing Speaks about love. In the moonlight in early spring Meetings with you, my friend, will be remembered. Your bell, The young voice rang, This ringing, this ringing Sweetly sang about love. The guests will be remembered by the noisy crowd, Lovely face with a white veil. Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding - The clinking of glasses makes noise, With a young wife, My rival is standing. In the moonlight, the snow is silvery, C grade rushes along the road. Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding - The bell is ringing, This ringing, this ringing Speaks about love.

In mid-December, it started snowing in Kharkov. I could not sleep. In the middle of the night I got up, went to the window ... "In the moonlight, the snow is silvery ..." Now it seems to me that I even sang this line in the rhythm of a waltz, which arose out of nothing, if you do not take into account the beauty of the snow-covered square outside the window. But God knows! I have never heard these poems and this melody in the last 20 plus years, and in the last two years I had no time for romances at all.

And how many people before me came to the window in the middle of the night and looked at the snow. Maybe they also had poems in their heads in the rhythm of a waltz? Did the mysterious Evgeny Yuriev, the author of poetry and music, exist in the whole world? Could it be that someone played a trick on their acquaintances by slipping them a stylization under the coachman's romance at the beginning of the 20th century? But here is the information on the website of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art: Yuriev Evgeny Dmitrievich (1882-1911).

Phantoms do not have archive cells. Nevertheless, the author's performance of the romance "In the Moonlight" (also called "Bell" and "Ding-ding-ding") causes distrust in the audience. A mile away from him reeks of stylization.

And if you consider how many films and performances about different times were accompanied by this melody and poems performed by a variety of singers and singers ...

"Ding, ding, ding" (romance by Yuriev)
HELL. Vyaltseva, mezzo-soprano

You can view the output of the disc and listen to the romance performed by Anastasia Vyaltseva (recorded in 1912) on the World of Russian Recordings website.

Laureate of the International Competition,
head of the creative group "Blagovest"
singer Lyudmila Borisovna Zhogoleva:

“At the beginning of the twentieth century, this name said a lot to the Russian heart. Its popularity was incredible! She was from the peasant class. She died in 1913, lived only 42 years, and achieved so much in art! I managed to go around the whole country on tour. She became one of the richest women in Russia. For touring, she even had a special carriage, which was attached to various trains. There were equipped a dressing room, a library, a kitchen. Then the singer's carriage passed to Admiral Kolchak ... In principle, Vyaltseva did not go on tour abroad. She performed only in front of the Russian audience.

She went out to sing for an encore twenty times. Her concerts lasted up to four hours. They shouted to her: “Seagull! The Seagull! .. "And she tirelessly returned to the stage ... Anastasia Dmitrievna was called" The Seagull of the Russian Stage. " Her romance "Snow Glows Silver in the Moonlight" was incredibly popular at the beginning of the last century. At the Tsar's court, the singer Plevitskaya was more appreciated, but this romance performed by Vyaltseva was well known and loved by Tsar Nicholas II. The romance was so popular that it even made it an unwitting witness to a very dark page in our history. At that time, the first gramophone records with romances by Vyaltseva appeared (they are preserved in the Bakhrushinsky Museum). And in December 1916, as the participants in this fateful event later recalled, a friend of the Royal Family, Grigory Efimovich Rasputin, was treacherously lured into the palace of Prince Yusupov and killed there. The killers, in order to hide their plans, so that the screams and noise of the struggle would not be heard on the street, turned on the gramophone at full volume with this particular romance of Anastasia Vyaltseva. To this wonderful music, to her wonderful voice, a prayer book for the Tsar died ...

Recently there was a film by French director Jose Diane "Rasputin" with Gerard Depardieu in the leading role. I have no complaints about the artist. He was deeply imbued with this bright Russian image (which was then bizarrely refracted in his subsequent personal destiny). And yet, the film on the "Russian plot" is unsuccessful, it was shot with cold, unwavering hands. But it is no coincidence that this particular romance sounds several times in the film ...

Now the romance "In the moonlight" is sung by Evgenia Smolyaninova. He is also in my repertoire. I performed it on the stage of the Bakhrushin Museum, like other romances by Anastasia Vyaltseva. The concert took place on a great rise, with a crowded hall. Performing the works of the great artist, being in the atmosphere of that time, among the antiques that could belong to her, records, books, to the sounds of the grand piano of that era (after all, we worked in a theater museum!) Is both joy and responsibility. The Bakhrushin Museum houses a large archive of "The Seagulls of the Russian Stage".

"Eugene Onegin" by Rimas Tuminas at the Vakhtangov Theater

Onegin by Tuminas and set designer Adomas Yacovskis should be retelling from mise-en-scenes. Olga and Lensky (Maria Volkova and Vasily Simonov) are flying through the garden - tall, curly, shining with youth, enveloped in the song "In the moonlight, the snow is silvery ..." Olga always has a children's accordion on her chest: in the ball scene at the Larins' Onegin will touch his frets ... And what a scream this "Three" will sound for the last time when Olga goes down the aisle with the ulan (about the play -).

Above St. Petersburg, the temple glitters in silver Xenia is praying in the sleeping capital. Above the wide Neva, the Angel sings a song Into this temple, the wonderful temple Calls everyone to the holiday. Xenia wanders early at times And may meet you. In a difficult hour, in a mournful hour She says to everyone: "The king with a spear on horseback From trouble will save." Quiet in the chapel, candles flickering. Mother Xenia accepts everyone. Pray for the whole world, Mati Ksenia, again, So that love will sanctify our hearts. Above St. Petersburg, the temple glitters Xenia prays in the sleeping capital ...

The song "Ding-ding-ding".

"In the moonlight" (other names - "Bell" and "Ding-ding-ding") - a romance related to the so-called coachman songs, the poet and musician Yevgeny Dmitrievich Yuriev.
Evgeny Dmitrievich Yuriev (1882-1911) - Russian poet and composer, author of several romances, including: "Bell", "Hey, coachman, drive to" Yar "," Why love, why suffer ", etc.
More than fifteen romances by E. D. Yuriev are known, composed by him in the period 1894-1906 to his own words and music, as well as eleven romances and songs, including "gypsy" (that is, similar to a gypsy romance) on his words, set to music by other composers, including A. N. Chernyavsky ... Information about the biography of E. D. Yuriev is almost not preserved.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the performer of the song on this video. On the Internet on this video it is indicated that the song is being performed by the author, that is, E. Yuriev. But I doubt it, because I saw another video with this performer, and it says that it is Yuri Borisov ... Which also raises doubts ...
Soon after the October Revolution, the new government declared the romance a "bourgeois vestige" that hindered the building of a bright future. And in Russian culture he was forgotten for several decades.
Only in the second half of the 1950s was the romance, as a genre, "rehabilitated" and began to gradually return to Soviet audiences. The romance "In the moonlight" continues in Russian song culture the coachman theme, begun by the romance "Here is the daring troika rushing ..." in 1828, when Alexei Nikolaevich Verstovsky put to music an excerpt about the coachman from a poem by Fyodor Glinka. Nothing is known about the history of the creation of the romance, it was just composed and that's it. For a while, singer Anastasia Vyaltseva (1871-1913) performed with him.

Anastasia Vyaltseva

As often happens in such cases, when a song is part of the structure of folk culture, there are several variants of text and music that are close to each other.

In the moonlight, the snow is silvery


The bell is ringing
This ringing, this ringing
He talks about love.
In the moonlight in early spring
I remember meetings, my friend, with you.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell was ringing
This ringing, this ringing
He sang sweetly about love.
I remember the guests in a noisy crowd,
Pretty face with a white veil.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The clinking of glasses makes a noise
With a young wife
My opponent is standing.
In the moonlight, the snow is silvery
The C grade rushes along the road.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell is ringing
This ringing, this ringing
He talks about love.

Now the romance has become one of the most popular and is included in the repertoire of many performers and is very often used in performances and films.

Then the past becomes what pulls out of the energy hole. Then you want to return to it, touch it, fill it up. Then it looks like a yellow and white tape of an old, forgotten film, which you pull out of the storerooms only when you want a real, imperishable.

But I need a key that will open the entrance to this world of light sadness. This time, the golden key was the romance "In the moonlight ..."

The bell is ringing
This ringing, this ringing
He talks about love.

In the moonlight in early spring
I remember meetings, my friend, with you.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell was ringing
This ringing, this ringing
He sang sweetly about love.

I remember the guests in a noisy crowd,
Pretty face with a white veil.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The clinking of glasses makes a noise
With a young wife
My opponent is standing.

In the moonlight, the snow is silvery
The C grade rushes along the road.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell is ringing
This ringing, this ringing
Talking about love

I remember the author: Yuryev Evgeny Dmitrievich is a Russian poet, composer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth - the silver - century ... Nothing is known about him, except that he lived for twenty-nine years, of which twelve (from the age of seventeen) wrote poetry and romances.

One can only wonder how a seventeen-year-old boy could feel this way and convey it in music and poetry. And even a twenty-nine-year-old - how could he? Poetry? About thirty, but apart from "In the moonlight ...", and even a couple of romances, you will not find anything. Maybe somewhere in some archives ...

The romance is so simple and genius that any desire to show oneself, to decorate it with one's own intonations and direction, deprives the most important thing - the inner meaning and soul of the romance.

The dispassionate, quiet, unhurried, detached from everything except the inner memory of the heart, the performance of the romance attributed to the author of the poems seems to be the best of all the many performers who want to try themselves in this masterpiece. Then the romance becomes a manifestation of something completely different - a lack of heart.

Excessive artistry, and not too much - also, unnecessary complication of its performance with an emphasis on its vocal abilities, and not on the author's mood, deprives the romance of its own intonation and charm.

"In the moonlight ..." is brilliant and requires nothing but heart and soul. And with this, most performers and performers especially have a strain. The romance is rightfully considered the hallmark of Oleg Pogudin, who managed to find what is considered the main thing in the Russian romance - the mental nerve.

"In the moonlight, the snow shines silver" - the simplest and most beloved Russian romance begins. Perhaps the words are naive, perhaps the ingenious melody, but why does the soul freeze when the first sounds are barely heard, why does she rejoice and cry, why is this simplicity dearest and more beautiful to her, like the first flower plucked like a child without a stem, like an apple from a branch like snow melting in the palm of your hand, like a mother's caress, like a burning candle in your hand that you can't breathe on? ...

Evgenia Smolyaninova, Russian singer, performer of Russian folk songs, romances and author's songs, composer, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.

An unusually soulful, pure, enchanting manner of performance, flowing like a fontanel. Fame for Evgenia Valerievna Smolyaninova came thanks to cinema. In the TV movie "The Life of Klim Samgin" (1987) she sang so popular romance "In the moonlight" , as no one could sing it either before or after her.

Evgeniya Valerievna was born February 28, 1964 in a family of teachers in Novokuznetsk, then the family moved to Kemerovo. Evgenia entered the piano department of the St. XX centuries. In 1982 year, her first performance as a singer took place in the theater of Vyacheslav Polunin in the play "Pictures at an Exhibition" to the music of M. Mussorgsky and in the play "Mumu" of the Maly Drama Theater. During summer trips with fellow students on folklore expeditions, she was engaged in collecting Russian folklore in the northern regions of Russia.

Her repertoire includes Russian folk songs, classical romances, the rarest village romances, monastery songs, songs based on her own poems and poems by Nabokov, Blok, Akhmatova, the little-known poet of the Russian emigration Nikolai Turoverov ... And how songs from Vertinsky's repertoire sound in her performance, it's hard to believe - Vysotsky and, finally, the Pskov peasant Olga Sergeeva! She not only arranges herself, but also writes music.

A talented performer and arranger, Evgenia Smolyaninova was awarded for her work the National Treasure of Russia Prize of the International Charity Fund Patrons of the Century, the Order of the Holy Princess Olga of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Order of the Triumph of Orthodoxy of the People's Reward public foundation.

In the moonlight ... (music and art. E. Yuriev)

In the moonlight, the snow is silvery
The C grade rushes along the path.

Ding-ding-ding ding-ding-ding -
The bell is ringing.
This ringing, this ringing speaks of love.

In the moonlight in early spring
Do you remember the meetings, my friend, with you.
