She accompanies him all his life, starting with his mother's lullabies. Music arose long ago - who does not know Orpheus, who descended into the underworld for his beloved and so captivated Hades and Persephone with his singing and playing the lyre that they released Eurydice to earth? The plot from the myths of Ancient Greece, which is already several thousand years old, only says that music, like musicians, has existed since time immemorial, as well as epics and fairy tales about music.
Keepers of history
In ancient times, musicians, at least really talented ones, were the same legendary personalities as epic heroes. Stories about them were passed from mouth to mouth, forming into tales and legends. And thanks to the songwriters themselves, such as the notorious Boyan, who is described in the Tale of Igor's Campaign, the names of heroes from those ancient times have come down to us. After all, musicians often accompanied heroes on their campaigns in order to delight their ears in moments of calm, to raise morale before attacks, and then to capture the feats in their songs.
Russian epics about musicians
Tales about music and musicians arose, as was said, a very long time ago. The already mentioned Orpheus, like the golden-haired kifared Apollo, like the god Pan, who played the flute, are the heroes of the myths of Ancient Greece, which existed three thousand years before our era. Our folklore tells about later times - the end of the 11th - the beginning of the 12th centuries. Russian epics and fairy tales about music tell, for example, about Sadko, the legendary Novgorod merchant, traveler and gusliar.
Legendary Sadko
On the basis of these epics, the Soviet folklorist writer A.N. Nechaev wrote a wonderful story, the meaning of which, like the epic itself, is to state the fact that the remarkable art of the singer and gusler Sadko turned out to be stronger than power and wealth as a result. According to the plot of this tale, the poor gusler fell in love with Vodyany, the owner of Ilmen Lake, with his singing and playing, and he made Sadko rich and noble. There are other stories about this character, but in all of them, because of the play of the harpman, he starts such a violent dance that a storm rises on the sea-ocean, and ships begin to die. The magical power of music creates all sorts of miracles.
The first songbooks of Rus'
Thanks to epics, we know the names of the instruments used by ancient musicians and buffoons. These include domra, spoons and pipes, balalaika, bells and zhaleyka, harp, rattle and bagpipes, as well as button accordion, box and Bylina tell about the first Russian musicians, the most famous of which were Boyan, Sadko and buffoons. The time of occurrence and existence of these works of folk art is the XI-XII centuries, the era of the Middle Ages. Boyan sings of Yaroslav the Wise, Sadko lived during the heyday of Veliky Novgorod and the decline of the role of Kyiv, that is, almost in the same period. The oldest Russian musicians and songwriters-buffoons, carriers of synthetic art, from which not only music, but theater and circus arose, are mentioned in The Tale of Bygone Years. It also tells about the hatred of the church towards them, under the pressure and at the insistence of which they ceased to exist in the 17th century.
Brothers Grimm about music and musicians
Tales about music and musicians occupy a special place in world literature. The most famous foreign work in our country is the fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians" by the brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. This is not even fame, but popular love. It arose thanks to the animated film of the same name and its sequel, which appeared on the screens of the country in 1969 and 1973, respectively.
The German fairy tale tells about the same, in essence, buffoons, moving from city to city and amusing the audience not only with singing, but also with circus numbers, dances, and theatrical sketches. Peru of these famous German storytellers own several more sketches about music and musicians: “The Eccentric Musician” (a fairy tale, also known as “The Extraordinary Musician” or “The Marvelous Musician”) and “The Singing Bone” - a sad story about the gullibility and insecurity of good, about black envy and betrayal, but also about inevitable retribution.
Musical tales by H. H. Andersen
The fairy tale about music "The Nightingale" by the most revered author in this genre, Hans Christian Andersen, is world famous. This long and philosophical tale tells about imaginary and true values. The main characters are the Chinese emperor and the nightingale, who was expelled from the palace as soon as a parcel with a golden artificial bird arrived from Japan, but returned and drove away Death, who had come for the emperor, with his singing. The meaning of the work is that no, even the most skillful mechanics can replace live music, in which there is a soul. There is also a fairy tale about music "The Bell", which tells about the search for an unknown bell, the sounds of which "grab right by the heart."
Magic pipe
Every nation has its own fairy tales and stories about music. Examples are the Belarusian fairy tale "Musician-sorcerer", or the Karelian "Matty the merry fellow", or the Kazakh fairy tale "Master Ali", which tells about the emergence of the national. saves the city from hordes of rats. This plot is also mentioned in Selma Lagerlöf's beloved fairy tale "The Wonderful Journey of Nils ...", and in Robert Browning's wonderful poem "The Flutist from Hammeln", known in the translation of S. Ya. Marshak.
Russian fairy tales about music
And just do not count the fairy tales, stories, poems and poems dedicated to music and created by Russian authors. Of the classical works, in addition to "Sadko", one can name "Gusli-samogudy" or "Shepherd's pipe". A wonderful fairy tale about music "Gusli-samogudy" in the processing of A. N. Afanasyev tells about Ivan, who became king thanks to the magic harp. Another Ivanushka from the "Magic Pipe" punished the greedy owners who did not want to pay him money for a job well done, which a miraculous musical instrument helped him to complete.
Russian classics about music
Stories about music, musicians and their instruments were written by many famous Russian writers - Leo Tolstoy ("The Heart of a Musician"), A.P. Chekhov ("Double Bass and Flute"), K. G. Paustovsky ("Old Chef" (about Mozart) , “Musical Canary”, “Basket with Fir Cones” (about Grieg)), V.V. Bianchi (“Who Sings What?”). About the boundless power of music, which can make a boy blind from birth a happy and full-fledged member of society, tells the story of V. G. Korolenko "The Blind Musician", published in 1886. There are several wonderful stories about music from the Russian writer Yevgeny Permyak: “For all the colors of the rainbow”, “The Shepherd and the Violin”, “Thin String” and “Happy Trumpet”.
Contemporary Tales of Music
The fairy tale on the theme of music has not died, but continues to live in our time, because it is best to introduce children to the world of music in a more familiar and accessible form. An example is the remarkable modern work of this genre about musical instruments “No matter how”. Or a fairy tale about music by the wonderful children's writer V. A. Lyovshin "The Little Fairy". It is definitely worth introducing the children to the works of these writers. And the modern children's writer Tatyana Domarenok writes wonderful fairy tales about music for kids. Here are some of them: "Holy Music", "Musical Key", "Divine Violin" and many others. A wonderful work dedicated to the topic we are considering was written by the Soviet writer Semyon Garin (“Singing Friends”). One cannot ignore the wonderful fairy tales about music written by V. Sukhomlinsky. These are “Music of Spring Meadows”, and “Child of the Sun”, and “Forest Twilight”, and “Grasshopper-Musician”, and others.
Little-known fairy tales of the peoples of the world
Now on the Web there are many interesting collections of modern fairy tales about music, notes, instruments and everything-everything-everything that relates to the world of music. Some little-known folk tales of the peoples of the world about music are also listed there. For example, "Magic harp". This tale of the peoples of Burma tells of the unfortunate orphan Maun Sita and how he healed the queen with his music. The Algerian folk tale "The Miraculous Lute" also speaks of the saving power of music. The Altai fairy tale "Kid Rysta" tells about a boy who transforms the sounds of nature into beautiful music. He was happy free and almost died at the Khan's. All the same sounds of nature saved him from death.
Fairy casket
The most comprehensive information on this topic and, probably, all the fairy tales and poems about music that exist in the world, are collected in the wonderful book “The Magic World of Music”. It lists all the authors - both domestic and foreign - who have ever written something about this art form. Among the most beautiful fairy tales, I would like to highlight the following: "Chongurist" (Georgia), "Maccrimons' Silver Pipe" (Scotland), "The Embroiderer of Birds" (Greece), "Queen of the Mountains" and "Sokolov's Guitar" (gypsy legends). Although, of course, all fairy tales, legends, songs and legends of the peoples of the world about music deserve attention.
Music accompanies a person all his life. We carefully listen to the music, admire the virtuoso playing of the musicians. It is always interesting to read how music originated, how sounds were born; and what works (fairy tales, poems, stories) touch upon the theme of music and musicians. Here is a list of only some of the works related to musical themes.
