I. The leader comes out.

Goy, you our lovely guests, dear, lovely kids! I will tell you about holy Rus', about distant times, unknown to you. Lived - then the good fellows were good, the beautiful girls were red. And they had kind mothers, bearded wise fathers. They knew how to plow and mow, at home they could chop towers, they knew how to weave canvases, to embroider them with patterns.

But our ancestors did not know letters, they did not know how to read books and letters to write. And two educators appeared in Rus', the wise brothers Cyril and Methodius. They were originally from the state of Byzantium and Slavic land - the city of Thessalonica. At home, two brothers spoke Slavic, and at school, instruction was only in Greek. The younger brother Cyril dreamed of writing books understandable Slavs, and for this it was necessary to invent Slavic letters. Years have passed. The brothers grew up and learned. But a dream to create Slavic did not leave the alphabet younger brother. He worked hard. And now the alphabet was ready. But thinking is half the battle. It needs to be translated from Greek into slavic books, to the Slavs had something to read. It turned out to be a very difficult task, and Kirill alone could not cope with it. His elder brother Methodius began to help him. Cyril and Methodius did a great job! This event took place in 863.

More recently, our country has holiday Slavic culture and writing. It is a pity that with great delay, because in others Slavic countries, in Bulgaria, for example, this day celebrated a long time ago, popularly, very colorful and truly festive.

Writing- a real treasure that a person has mastered.

So in ancient times, people exchanged information by sending each other various objects. It turned out cumbersome and not particularly clear. When people realized that exchanging message items is a troublesome business, they began to draw these items. (picture No. 1)

Such images have been found on the walls of caves where ancient people once lived. These are the first steps of man to create writing. Gradually, people began to replace the drawings with symbols. (picture No. 2)

The inscriptions were made on stones, rock, on the board. Of course, to carry such « letters» at a distance it was difficult and it was possible to understand these signs in different ways.

Time passed. Gradually, people moved from drawing to signs, which they began to call letters. So was born writing.

You see (picture 3) the image of two brothers in monastic attire - Cyril and Methodius. These saints have long been considered patrons « book people» - teachers and students. Since 1987 in our country to this holiday Days began to be timed Slavic writing and culture. But this is not only today's tradition, and a hundred years ago in Russian schools this holiday It was celebrated especially solemnly, because the next academic year was ending.

Glagolitic and Cyrillic are the first Slavic alphabets. Name of the alphabet "Glagolitic" comes from the word VERB, which means "speech". A "Cyrillic" named after its creator. IN Ancient Rus' Glagolitic was used to transmit church texts and existed for 3 centuries, and in everyday life writing used Cyrillic. Only 43 sister letters, they became the basis of the modern Russian alphabet.

Reader:

Two brothers, Cyril and Methodius,

We want to say thank you

For the letters that we really need

Passing under the sun of enlightenment

From far glorious antiquity,

We are now Slavic brothers,

Faithful to the first teachers!

To the apostles glorious

Holy love is deep.

Cases of Methodius - Cyril

IN Slavs will live for centuries!

Leading:

Currently Old Church Slavonic the language is dead - it is not spoken or written.

Let's look deep into the centuries and see what happened before the advent of the Cyrillic alphabet.

A letter is an alphabet Slavs, used on a vast territory belonging to the Rus. There were also runica (priestly letter, Glagolitic (trade letter, features and cuts (the simplest of letters) . The largest was the All-World Charter - 147 characters.

The initial letter is best known to us - under the name of the Cyrillic alphabet, trimmed and cleaned from unnecessary letters and sounds.

Old Slavic The initial letter had 49 initial letters. Modern - only 33.

To translate the Bible into our language, the Byzantine monks Cyril and Methodius remade our Old Slavic initial letter, and the letters they did not understand were removed (those that were not in Greek). These letters were also incomprehensible because the sounds they denoted, in Greek words did not meet. The Greeks still have only 24 letters.

Appearance of letters Slavic alphabet helps us see the world through the eyes of our ancestors. Each letter is individual, unique and has its own Name: lead, people, beeches, az, earth. The names of the letters were supposed to remind people of such words that they would forget. it is forbidden: "good", "live", "Earth", "People", "peace".

"Az" And "Buki". Got the word "ABC".

That's what people say: "At first "az" Yes "beeches" and then science. It is from the basics that the path of each of us into the world of knowledge begins.

Guys, do you know proverbs about the benefits of learning?

He who wants to know a lot needs little sleep.

To go into science is to endure torment.

Do you know what "Az-Buki-Vedi" means? "I know the letters," the alphabet tells us. Imagine - three letters hide a whole phrase in themselves! For our ancestors Slavs the alphabet was not just a collection of letters, but a reflection of the harmony of the world in the word.

1 reader:

So these are our origins,

Floating, glowing in the twilight,

Solemnly strict lines,

cast Slavic ligature.

So that's where, so that's where the first time

Found at the foot of the mountains

Under the fiery sign of Sophia

Diamond hardness verb.

2 reader:

Great mystery of sound

Despised decay and death,

On the blue Dnieper bends

The immovable firmament shook.

And Rus' over the foamy water,

Open to free winds

"I am!"- said the universe,

"I am!"- declared for centuries.

Leading:

It's hard to believe, but once our ancestors - the Slavs did not have books at all because there were no letters to write Slavic speech.

After acceptance Christian religion Slavs began to use Latin and Greek letters instead of their simplest characters.

But it was not very convenient, since these letters could not convey all the features Slavic speech.

And two educators appeared in Rus', wise brothers ...

From the 10th century on the basis of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets to Old Russian literature is distributed. Most often these were church books, teachings, learned works. Getting to know the exposition.

The books were very expensive. The production of ancient handwritten books was a labor-intensive business. The material for them was parchment. (picture 4)- leather of special dressing. The best parchment was made from the soft, thin skin of lambs and calves. She was cleaned of wool and washed thoroughly. Then they pulled it onto drums, sprinkled it with chalk and cleaned it with pumice. After air-drying, the roughness was cut off from the leather and polished again with a pumice stone. The dressed skin was cut into rectangular pieces and sewn into eight-sheet notebooks. It is noteworthy that this ancient pamphlet order has been preserved to this day. day. Stitched notebooks were collected into a book. Depending on the format and number of sheets, one book required from 10 to 30 animal skins - a whole herd! According to one of the scribes, who worked at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries, three rubles were paid for the skin for the book. At that time on these money you could buy three horses.

Books were usually written with quill pen and ink. The king had the privilege of writing with a swan and even a peacock feather. Manufacturing written accessories required a certain skill. The feather was certainly removed from the left wing of the bird, so that the bend was convenient for the right, writing hand. The pen was degreased by sticking it into hot sand, then the tip was cut obliquely, split and sharpened with a special penknife. They also scraped out errors in the text.

Medieval ink, unlike the blue and black that we are used to, was brown in color, as it was made on the basis of ferruginous compounds, or, more simply, rust. Pieces of old iron were lowered into the water, which, rusting, painted it brown. Ancient recipes for making ink have been preserved. As components, in addition to iron, oak or alder bark, cherry glue, kvass, honey and many other substances were used, which gave the ink the necessary viscosity, color, and stability. Centuries later, this ink has retained the brightness and strength of the color. Unfortunately, ancient books very little has survived. Only about 130 copies priceless evidence of the 11th-12th centuries. has come down to us. There were few of them in those days.

To decorate the manuscript, titles in the Middle Ages were written in a special, decorative font - ligature. (picture 5)

The letters stretched upwards were intertwined with each other (hence the name - ligature, forming a text similar to an ornamental ribbon. They wrote in ligature not only on paper. Gold and Silver vessels, fabrics were often covered with elegant inscriptions. Of all types of ancient letters before 19th. It was the ligature that was preserved, however, only in Old Believer books and decorative inscriptions. (picture 6)

On the pages Old Russian books the text was arranged in one or two columns. Letters were not divided into lowercase and uppercase. They filled the line in a long line without the usual intervals between words. To save space, some, mostly vowels, letters were written above the line or replaced with a sign - title - a horizontal line. The endings of well-known and frequently used words were also truncated. From Byzantium, the tradition was borrowed over each word to put an accent sign - strength.

For a long time there was no pagination. Instead, at the bottom right, they wrote the word with which the next page began.

Some features of Old Russian punctuation are also curious. Of the punctuation marks familiar to us, only the dot, borrowed from the Byzantine writing. They put it arbitrarily, sometimes defining the boundaries between words, sometimes marking the end of a phrase. In the 15-16 centuries. writing has become more complicated. In books, for example, commas appeared - to indicate pauses, a semicolon that replaced the question mark.

The work of a scribe is not easy. The work moved slowly. On average, for day I managed to write only two or four sheets, not only without errors, but also beautifully.

Medieval handwritten books were elegantly decorated. Before the text, they always made a headband - a small ornamental composition, often in the form of a frame around the title of a chapter or section. first, capital letter in the text - the initial - was written larger and more beautiful than the rest, decorated with an ornament, sometimes in the form of a man, an animal, a bird, fantastic creature. Usually the initial was red. Since then they say - to write from the red line. The section ended - with an ending - with a small drawing, for example, an image of two birds that looked like peacocks.

From the well, such a blue depth

My Kitezh grows, four walls,

Gilded horse, lace shutters - apart ...

Rose of the East. Ros is illuminating.

Wooden fairy tale, lake peace,

Why do I need your shore, such an openwork?

In whimsical curves of patterned roofs?

Yes, shepherd's horn? Yes, pipe reeds?

2 reader:

Apparently, the archival memory began to hurt,

If there is nothing to regret in the wilds of concrete -

So at least beckon you from the depths,

From Cyrillic woven songs-epics.

Wooden fairy tale, forgotten Ros,

You pierce my soul with an arrow.

And I don't know why it's needed

Like water from a well, your old man ....

Historian: (in robe and confederate)

In Rus', other material was also used for a long time for letters - birch bark(picture 7). Birch bark is a very convenient material for letters although it required some preparation. Birch bast was boiled in water to make the bark more elastic, then its rough layers were removed. A sheet of birch bark was cut off on all sides, giving it a rectangular shape. They wrote on the inside of the bark, squeezing out the letters with a special stick - writing - from bone, metal or wood. One end of the writing was pointed, and the other was made in the form of a spatula with a hole and hung from the belt. Technique letters on birch bark allowed the texts to remain in the ground for centuries.

Over time, more convenient machines appeared, and with them the modern alphabet.

I cherish you, I protect you.

Today, I think, it is worth talking about musical letter because many of you are into music. In many respects, the appearance of notes is due to the need of a person to store information about the melody invented by him and pass it on to the next generations.

The history of music has more than one millennium since the appearance of the first musical instruments. Truth in those days musical notation there were no sounds made musical instruments, were written in the form of designations invented by musician: dashes, dots, various curls. Ancient collections were written in hooks - non-linear notes. These hooks are also called "hatchets" or "kondakary" notes (from the word KONDAK - verse) (sheets with notes and book). This type of music letters disappeared in the 13th century. Later, these symbols began to be written on horizontal lines. But the different designation of notes for each musician brought chaos to music world- this was the prerequisite for the appearance of notes similar to modern ones. They had to bring order to the recording process musical compositions and make them easy to read for other people.

Leading:

In the old days, books were written by hand. The work progressed slowly. It sometimes took five to seven years to produce one - a single manuscript - a book. The scribe had to have a clear and beautiful handwriting. Each letter was often not even written, but drawn.

The ink was carefully selected, they even wrote with dissolved gold or silver. The opening line of a new chapter was highlighted in red ink, hence the expression - start with a red line.

The rewritten sheets were decorated with drawings, dressed in bindings made of wooden boards covered with leather. On the covers were placed gems, gold or silver clasps. Loved in the old days speak: "The book word in pearls walks". This book cost a lot of money.

There are hissing letters

There are whistling letters

863 is considered the year of birth of the Slavic alphabet, the creators of which were Cyril and Methodius

To be able to preach Christianity in the Slavic language, it was necessary to make a translation Holy Scripture on Slavic. This is how the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets were created. The Slavs got the opportunity to read and write in their own language. The Day of Slavic Literature and Culture is a Russian holiday dedicated to the day of memory of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Methodius and Cyril.

Russian choral music is one of the types of art that most fully reflects Slavic culture, so the welcome guest of the Gogol House was Sacred Music Ensemble "Blagovest". Artistic director- Honored Artist of Russia Galina Koltsova. Conductor and chief choirmaster of the ensemble - Denis Anzigitov.

Choral concert "Soul Light" opened with the troparion "Glorifying Cyril and Methodius". The program included spiritual choral compositions D. Bortnyansky, S. Titov, A. Arkhangelsky, anonymous composers. Modern sacred music was represented by the works of the composer A. Viskov "Three Lenten verses" and "Madrigal". The program was also supplemented secular music S. Taneeva, M. Glinka, G. Sviridova. Among the masterpieces of Russian choral music two compositions by S. Taneyev were performed: “Evening” and “Look, what a haze”.

Host of the concert - Honored Worker of Culture, composer Anton Viskov told the audience about the significance of the holiday of the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture and spoke about the significance of Russian choral music, which most fully reflects Slavic culture.

The audience warmly welcomed the excellent professional team

Two choral masterpieces by S. Taneyev “Evening” and “Look what a darkness”, as well as original choral compositions by A. Viskov, delighted the audience. The traditional encore "Many years" sounded.

The creation of the Slavic alphabet was and still is of great importance for the development of writing, Slavic peoples, Slavic culture. Sacred music as a part of human culture brings us its light through the centuries.
