Prokofiev Sergey Sergeevich (1891 - 1953) - Russian composer, pianist, conductor, People's Artist of the RSFSR; innovative musician, classic of modern Russian music.

Sergei Prokofiev was born on April 11, 1891 in the village of Sontsovka, Yekaterinoslav Governorate. Prokofiev's first education was received at home. Sergey has been interested in music since childhood. At the age of 5, he began to play the piano, and a little later - to compose the first pieces. In the composer's biography, the first operas were created at the age of 9.

Then Sergei began to study with the best teachers at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. For the first time Prokofiev performed with his works in 1908, and, starting from 1918, he toured extensively: in Europe, America, and Japan. In 1936, Prokofiev and his wife settled in Moscow and began teaching at the conservatory.

Among the compositions of the women's choir and orchestra "White Swan" (unreleased), the cantatas "Their Seven", "On the 20th Anniversary of October", "Alexander Nevsky", "Toast", "Ballad of a Boy Remaining Unknown", "Flourish, mighty region." Suite for soloists, choir and orchestra "Songs of Our Days", oratorio "On Guard for Peace"; "Ivan the Terrible" (composition by A. Stasevich based on the music for the film of the same name.). The choir takes part in the suite "Winter Bonfire", in the opera "War and Peace", "Semyon Kotko" and others.

Prokofiev created his own choral style, subordinated to compositional tasks. Mostly it is a choir with an orchestra; often - a chord warehouse, with a predominance of the upper voice, with octave doublings, parallelisms of three-voice consonances, the use of jumps, chromatisms, and tonal shifts. Not adhering to the established methods of voicing, imitative polyphony, Prokofiev masterfully applied their individual elements. Prokofiev's compositions on Russian themes are colored with national flavor due to the preservation and enrichment of the modality and Russian song intonations. In compositions on contemporary topics, he used the intonations of choral, in particular pioneer songs, features of genre music (marches, etc.). The best works of Prokofiev - "Alexander Nevsky", "On Guard of the World" and others - won nationwide popularity.

Lugovskoy Vladimir Alexandrovich (1901 - 1957) - Russian poet. Born in Moscow, in the family of a teacher of Russian literature, who was a well-educated man, historian and archaeologist, connoisseur of painting, sculpture and architecture. His love for Russian art had a huge impact on his son. He studied at the first Moscow gymnasium, after graduating ahead of schedule, he entered the Moscow State University, but then left for the Field Control of the Western Front. The October Revolution and the Civil War dictated their own conditions of life.

His first poems were published by A. Lunacharsky in Novy Mir (1924). The book Flashes, published in 1926 by the publishing house Uzel, was published with his own money. The next books were The Muscle and The Suffering of My Friends.

In the early 1930s, Lugovskoy traveled several times for a long time to Central Asia, the impressions of which were reflected in his poetic epic “Desert and Spring to the Bolsheviks.

In 1923 he visited Dagestan, then Azerbaijan, lived for a long time in Baku, working together with S. Vurgun on the creation of an anthology of Azerbaijani poetry. In the late 1930s he made a trip to the North, then lived in Sevastopol and on the southern coast of Crimea, wrote a lot, turning to the historical theme. In recent years, the books "Solstice" and "Blue Spring" and the most significant book of Lugovskoy - "The Middle of the Century" have been published.

Cantata "Alexander Nevsky" originated entirely from S. Eisenstein's film music. Prokofiev's friendship with Eisenstein began in the late 1920s, when the young director, who became famous all over the world for his revolutionary film The Battleship Potemkin, first met the composer during his days in Paris. Eisenstein immediately invited Prokofiev to play the role of composer. The music for the film "Alexander Nevsky" is one of the recognized pinnacles in the creative life of Sergei Prokofiev. In this work, he first turned to Russian heroic-epic themes. The success of the film "Alexander Nevsky" prompted Prokofiev to create the cantata of the same name based on film music in 1938. And he created an integral vocal-symphonic composition, which is like a fascinating story about the distant past.

Prokofiev's music opened the pages of a truly modern epic. “Prokofiev is nationalized by the severity of traditions dating back to the primitive Scythian... That is why antiquity sounds so beautiful in his music – not through archaism or stylization, but through the most extreme and risky fractures of ultramodern musical writing”, Eisenstein noted.

The dramaturgy of the cantata is based on the opposition of two images: on the one hand, the image of the Russian army, on the other, the image of the Teutonic crusaders. The Russian army is characterized by melodious songs of an epic warehouse, intonations of a sad reckoning, cheerful buffoon tunes. Crusader knights are depicted differently: they are the embodiment of evil, cruelty, inhumanity, violence, bloody crimes. Here, too, the composer uses expressive means to describe the enemy force: military fanfare, Catholic chant, automatic march of iron cohorts. The contrast between the two warring camps is emphasized by harmonic and orchestral means. Diatonic, close to folk songs, softness and humanity of timbres prevail in the music and this characterizes the Russian army. The themes of the Teutonic invaders are marked by harsh polytonal harmonies, "mechanized" rhythms, rough timbres, and sharp percussion.

Prokofiev's innovation is that he creates a new genre fusion of programmatic symphony with opera and choral action. Prokofiev uses the effects of sound painting, depicting either the sinister croak of a raven, or the cheerful neighing of horses, or the rumble and crackle of an ice field breaking under the feet of the Teutons.

Cantata written for mezzo-soprano, choir and orchestra.

The seven parts of the cantata are different in content and are built on a contrasting alternation. The first four parts make up the introduction and exposition:

I. "Rus under the Mongol yoke".

II. Song about Alexander Nevsky.

III. "Crusaders in Pskov".

IV. "Get up, Russian people."

V. "Battle on the Ice" - development (comparison and conflict battle of contrasting images).

VI. "Dead Field" - lyrical-dramatic intermezzo.

VII. "Alexander's Entry into Pskov" is a bright, life-affirming, jubilant finale.

The leading tone of the whole composition should be considered B- dur. This is the embodiment of the power and greatness of Russia. The circle of images depicting the world of the crusaders is given in tonality cis- mall. Tonalities are associated with the images of the Russian people c- mall And D- dur. The choir is busy in most episodes, with the exception of parts I and V. The Russian squad is characterized by folk songs (II, IV, VII parts). The crusaders, on the other hand, perform with frenzied, deathly ascetic singing of the Catholic chant in Latin. Prokofiev often introduces roll calls of high and low register groups. In an effort to enhance the severity of the sound, he willingly highlights low heavy timbres.

Cantata (Italian) cantare sing) - a work of a solemn or lyrical-epic nature for the choir, soloists and orchestra, consisting of several completed numbers.

The cantata is original in terms of genre. Remarkable harmony and integrity of the composition. The dramaturgy of the cantata is based on the most acute conflict between the folk principle and cruelty and violence. Alexander Nevsky appeared in the picture as an epic hero with an immense Russian soul.

In the fourth part, Alexander Nevsky convenes the people to defend the Motherland: "Get up, Russian people"(cry of mothers, fathers).

Like an alarming alarm, a brief introduction to the chorus arises:

The alarm bell sounds in the orchestra throughout the first part of the choir.

The form of the work is complex three-part with a middle part of the episode type.

IPart written in a simple three-part form with a developing middle (8 + 8 + 8 bars).

IIPart– episode – consists of a small introduction (4 measures) and two periods of re-building (16 + 16 measures).

IIIPart- reprise - a simple three-part form with a contrasting middle (8 + 8 + 8 measures).

Basic tempo and character of the choir Allegro risoluto(= 72) - quickly and decisively. But in the transition to the middle part, agogica appears - poco rit. - gradually slowing down, then at the same pace - a tempo.

The composer uses compound meter. Size 2/2 - consists of two simple homogeneous ones.

The rhythmic pattern is mainly represented by durations: half, quarters, less often eighths:

Since the main goal of the work is a call to action, the defense of the Motherland is the main tone Es- dur- light and hope and determination. Sudden shifts are characteristic Es- dur V Ces- dur at the words "Living fighters honor and honor", as well as from Es- dur V D- dur when moving to the middle.

beautiful D- dur the theme of the middle part, performed by the violas and then by the basses, in its plasticity resembles some themes from Glinka's "Ruslan"; she embodies the image of the Motherland: "In Rus', dear, in Rus', the enemy will not be great." This theme will sound in the V and VII parts of "Alexander Nevsky":

In order to emphasize the decisiveness and unity of the people, Prokofiev uses a homophonic-harmonic warehouse of writing, with elements of polyphony.

The whole work sounds very courageous and bold in one breath. The greatest emotional uplift is achieved with the help of an upward movement and strong dynamics - ff, f, mf. These nuances reflect the power of the Russian people, their readiness to fight against enemies. Choir enters in nuance ff, a double quart sounds, an accent sounds on each strong beat - this causes a feeling of confidence, an image of an unshakable people is created, their readiness to defend the Motherland!

The words “Get up, Russian people” sound again and again, as if instilling confidence in people.

Meets mp And p in the middle contrasting part, as well as in the reprise, in the words "Enemies do not go to Rus', do not bring regiments to Rus'."

The emotional climax occurs at the end of the work, at the last performance of the theme “Get up, Russian people”:

The main melody of the orchestra contains chased invocative intonations, thereby reinforcing the nature of the sound, the militancy of this composition. The role of the orchestra here is also that it duplicates the main melody of the choir.

Soprano part range: Alto part range:

Tenor range: Bass range:

General range of the choir:

Tessitura in all batches is average, convenient for execution. The choir ensemble will be natural.

Basically, the parties duplicate each other (C-T, A-B) - resulting in an octave unison - and again strengthening the effect of unity and determination.

Basically, the difficulty is the performance of jumps and the intonation of random characters:

In all parties there is a jerky movement - constantly maintaining a sense of tension and excitement. Sopranos have big jumps to sixths and sevenths, altos and tenors to hours 5 and sixth.

It is very important to achieve a clear pronunciation of the text, accurate intonation of the melody at a fairly fast pace.

sound science legato, the sound attack is soft in the middle part, but active and firm in the first part and the reprise of the composition.

Singing breathing is general choral, chain and in parts.

The main conductor's difficulties are expressed in the image of bright contrasts. Entry and exit should be very clear; due attention should be given to the orchestra, as it plays an important role in creating character.

Rus', oppressed, majestic and mournful, now appears on the other side - heroic. The choir is remarkable for its activity and rhythmic energy. This choir was very loved during the Great Patriotic War. It really is a fighting patriotic song.

The plot, the history of the creation of the cantata "Alexander Nevsky" BRIEFLY

  1. Cantata Alexander Nevsky - The most famous piece (fragment) from this cantata is the Battle on the Ice. This cantata carries a patriotic and heroic style. At the end, the final choir performs. Get up, Russian people.
    This cantata shows how Prince Alexander Nevsky stood up for his Motherland together with his soldiers against the Swedes.

  3. In 1938, Sergei Eisenstein's film "Alexander Nevsky" with music by Sergei Prokofiev was released on the cinema screens of our country. It was an alarming time: Hitler's fascism had already begun its barbaric invasion of the countries of Europe, and the threat of a fascist invasion hung over the whole world. Less than three years remained before the war with the Germans, and the plot of the film was based on the events of another war, but the same with the German invaders.
    The cantata "Alexander Nevsky", a monumental work for choir, mezzo-soprano and orchestra, was created by Prokofiev in 1939 based on the music for the film. The text for the cantata was written by the poet Vladimir Lugovskoy and the composer himself. The cantata sounded like a resolute warning, like a formidable reminder that they are waiting for an enemy who dares to attack our Motherland. Despite the fact that the music was previously composed for the film, in the cantata it acquired its own dramaturgy, its development, its form, and became a new and completely independent musical and dramatic work.
    "Alexander Nevsky" occupies an important place in Prokofiev's work, asserting in nm the heroic-epic national theme, which then develops in the opera "War and Peace", in the music for "Ivan the Terrible", in the Fifth Symphony and in some other works. This new valuable side of Prokofiev's talent was revealed in the atmosphere of Soviet art, characterized by its constant and deep interest in the people and their history.
    The composer's approach to the historical theme is noteworthy. Prokofiev has a remarkably true sense of the historical epoch. But strict, like ancient frescoes, the images of antiquity in "Alexander Nevsky" are imbued at the same time with that sharp feeling of our modernity. The soulless "iron" music of the crusaders is perceived, in essence, as a characteristic of modern aggressive and reactionary forces.
    Prokofiev is not fascinated by the direct appeal to ancient musical material. The music of the crusaders, he writes, seemed to him more "advantageous" to give "not in the form in which it really sounded during the Battle of the Ice, but in the form in which we now imagine it. Similarly, with the Russian song: no need was given in a modern warehouse, leaving aside the question of how e was sung 700 years ago."
    The musical characterization of the crusaders is based on the chorale created by Prokofiev in the familiar "Bachian" style. Thanks to special harmonic and orchestral techniques, it acquires gloomy and harsh features. The harmonic, timbre and rhythmic sides prevail in it over the melody; tense dissonant combinations, ostinato mechanical rhythm are characteristic; roaring piercing brass (often with mutes), percussion.
    The characterization of Russians is dominated by the song principle, clear diatonic harmonies; the orchestra is dominated by strings. Here is a whole string of melodies sad and mournful, majestic and heroic, daring and cheerful. They clearly feel the continuation of the epic traditions of Glinka and the Kuchkists, refracted, however, through the originality of the Prokofiev style. Prokofiev in "Alexander Nevsky" came to the creation of an organic modern epic musical style on a brightly national basis.
    There are seven movements in the cantata, each of them is a complete number:
    "Rus' under the Mongol yoke"
    "Song about Alexander Nevsky"
    "Crusaders in Pskov"
    "Get up, Russian people"
    "Battle on the Ice"
    "Dead Field"
    "Alexander's entry into Pskov"

  6. The cantata is an example of the Soviet historical and heroic epic. The work reflects the picture of the enemy invasion, the patriotic upsurge of the entire people, the decisive battle, mourning the fallen and glorifying the Motherland. To depict the opposing forces, the author used contrasting means: expressive diatonic melodies are inherent in Russian themes in the cantata, while the crusaders are represented by emphatically dissonant music in a Catholic style, based on a stylized Latin hymn Peregrinus expectavi.

    History of creation
    In early 1938, the greatest Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein conceived a big sound film about Alexander Nevsky. As the author of music, he decided to involve Prokofiev, whom he had known well since the 1920s. Being a longtime admirer of his wonderful directorial talent, I gladly accepted the offer, the composer recalled. Soon he went on his last trip abroad, and in Hollywood he specially studied the technique of musical arrangement of films, although he himself was no longer a novice in this matter: he had previously written the music for the film Lieutenant Kizhe. Upon his return from the trip, Prokofiev set to work. It proceeded in the closest collaboration with Eisenstein. The work went in two ways: either the director showed the composer a finished piece of the film footage, leaving him to decide what the music should be for him, or Prokofiev wrote this or that musical episode in advance, and Eisenstein built the visual row based on this music. It also happened that the director would tell Prokofiev about some episode, illustrating it with pencil drawings, and then shoot based on the finished score.
    This creative community was based on the boundless trust of artists to each other. Prokofiev was convinced that the famous director turned out to be a very subtle musician, while Eisenstein was struck by Prokofiev's ability to instantly become infected with visual impression and convey in music the essence of the artistic image captured on film. Tomorrow he will send me music that ... will permeate my montage structure with sound counterpoint, the law of structure of which he carries away in that rhythmic figure that his fingers tapped out, the director said, recalling how Prokofiev, during the review of the filmed episodes, would tap out some complex rhythmic constructions on the arm of a chair. The text for the vocal fragments was partly written by Prokofiev himself, partly by the poet Vladimir Lugovskoy (1901-1957).
    Alexander Nevsky was released on December 1, 1938 and immediately won a huge success. This success prompted the composer to write a cantata based on the music for the film. He devoted the winter of 1938-1939 to this work. The task turned out to be very difficult. Sometimes it's easier to write a completely new play than to invent spikes, he complained to those close to him. It was necessary to completely re-orchestrate all the music, since the previous orchestration was designed for the use of electronic means used when recording film music, various effects associated with the approach and removal of one or another instrument from the microphone, etc. In addition, from disparate fragments that sound throughout the film, it was necessary to compose harmonious sections of the vocal-symphonic cycle. Cantata, which received op. 78, consists of seven parts, Rus' under the Mongol yoke, Song about Alexander Nevsky, Crusaders in Pskov, Get up, Russian people, Battle on the Ice, Dead Field and Alexander's Entry into Pskov, absorbed all the best that was in film music. On May 17, 1939, it premiered at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.
    Music
    Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev / Sergei Prokofiev
    The music of Alexander Nevsky embodied the best features of Prokofiev's work - the universality of the style, capable of embodying Russian heroic images, soulful lyrics, harsh, mechanized images of the invaders with equal force. The composer combines picturesque and pictorial episodes with song and choral scenes close to the opera and oratorio style. The breadth of musical generalizations does not interfere with the visible concreteness of individual images.
    Rus' under the Mongol yoke is a short symphonic prologue that introduces you into the harsh atmosphere of the era and events. Archaic chants dominate with a wild sobbing grace note, with a wide

  9. Sergei Prokofiev. Cantata Alexander Nevsky
    Every nation has its own national heroes who are loved, honored and remembered. Their names remain for centuries, and their moral image not only does not disappear from the memory of their descendants, but, on the contrary, becomes brighter and brighter with the passage of time. This fully applies to Alexander Nevsky. This name in Rus' is now pronounced with special pride and reverence.
    Many military feats were accomplished by the Novgorod prince Alexander Yaroslavich. His army fought heroically against the Swedes on the Neva River. For the victory over the enemy, he nicknamed the people of the Grand Duke Nevsky.
    Soon after the Battle of the Neva, detachments of German crusader knights moved to Rus'. Their banners were embroidered with black crosses, black crosses were also on the shields of the knights.
    In the spring of 1242, a bloody battle broke out on Lake Peipsi.
    Alexander Nevsky was in the thick of the battle, the Secha (battle) was such that the ice of the lake became hot. The Russians fought furiously. Yes, and how to fight without rage, when children and wives were left behind, cities and towns were left, native land remained with a short and sonorous name - Rus' (O. Tikhomirov).
    Historical events associated with the name of the Russian prince Alexander Nevsky are reflected in the works of various arts. The artist P. Korin created the Alexander Nevsky triptych, which consists of three independent paintings-parts that form a single whole.
    Two more outstanding works of the same name are devoted to the same topic: the film by S. Eisenstein and the cantata by S. Prokofiev.
    The word cantata comes from the Italian cantare, which means to sing. The cantata consists of several numbers (movements). Designed for individual singers (soloists), choir and orchestra.
    Sergei Prokofiev approached the historical theme in a very peculiar way. He had a true sense of the historical era. The ancient images of Alexander Nevsky were imbued with a sharp sense of modernity. Remember what happened in the world in the late 30s? In Western Europe - rampant fascism. And the iron music of the crusaders sounded like a characteristic of modern aggressive forces.
    The cantata Alexander Nevsky was written to the texts of the poet Vladimir Lugovsky and the composer himself. It is intended for mezzo-soprano, mixed choir and orchestra.
    The cantata originated from the music for the film of the same name, which was staged in 1938 by the outstanding Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein. The picture told about the heroic struggle of the squad of Alexander Nevsky with the Teutonic knights-crusaders. This film has become a classic of Soviet cinema. He is an amazing example of the commonwealth of the director and composer. This has never happened before in the history of music. The music was born under the direct impression of the frames of the film.
    Having removed a certain episode of the film, Eisenstein called Prokofiev. Sergei Sergeevich looked through the footage, as if absorbing it into himself, trying to feel the character and rhythm of each scene. Then he went home and the next day brought the finished music, striking with the brightness of the images.
    The visibility of images is a characteristic feature of Prokofiev's music. His powers of observation, his ability to capture and convey in music the voices of people, their gestures and movements are amazing. In this regard, the very process of creating music for Alexander Nevsky is interesting - under the direct impression of the film's frames.
    The director of the film Alexander Nevsky S. Eisenstein spoke well about this:
    Dark Hall. But not so much that in the reflections of the screen you can’t catch his hands on the arms of the chair: these huge, strong Prokofiev’s hands, grasping the keys with steel fingers, when, with all the elemental fury of temperament, he brings them down on the keyboard ...
    A picture is running across the screen.
    And along the arm of the chair, trembling nervously, like a Morse telegraph receiver, Prokofiev's mercilessly clear fingers move. Prokofiev strikes the beat? No. He reaps much more. He is in o

“Holy Rus' is not empty, on Holy Rus'
there are strong mighty heroes" so he said
Ilya Muromets about valiant defenders
Russian lands.
In moments of difficult trials in Russia, always
there were great heroes leading the people to
fight against the enemy. Prince Igor, Alexander
Nevsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail
Kutuzov ... The names of these Russian commanders
forever entered the history of the Russian
states.
“Who with a sword will come to us from the sword and
will die.
On that it stands, and the Russian will stand

Turning the pages of Russian history
So, the beginning of the XIII century. Rus' is suffocating
Tatar-Mongolian yoke. All southern part
The Russian state is exhausted from
cruelty of the conquerors. And from the north a new one
the trouble is the Swedes and the Germans.
In 1240 Prince Alexander Yaroslavich
utterly defeated a detachment of Swedish knights.
This battle took place on the Neva River, and
the winner received the nickname Nevsky for this.
People even write songs about that.
“And it was the case on Neverek,
On the Never. On big water.

There they were cut in the military army
For the great Russian land.
Alexander led the army.
There were forces in the army of heroes,
As they wave to the left, the street will become,
And they will wave to the right - an alley.
We will not cede the Russian land,
Whoever comes to Rus' will be defeated!”
Shortly after the Battle of Neva to Rus'
detachments of German knights moved
crusaders. The black crosses were
their banners were embroidered, black crosses were also on
shields of the knights. The formation of the Russian crusaders
nicknamed the "iron pig".
In the spring of 1242 on Lake Peipus
a bloody battle ensued.
“Alexander Nevsky was in the thick of the battle...
The battle (battle) went around such that the ice
the lake became hot. Russians fought
furiously. And how to fight without rage,
when children and wives were left behind, left
villages and cities, native land remained with
short and sonorous name of Rus…” O.
Tikhomirov.
Russian troops, fighting, drove the enemies to
ice of Lake Peipus, the ice broke, and
heavy armor carried the invaders under
water.

Sounds of music
S. S. Prokofiev. Cantata "Alexander
Nevsky
Composer Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev
wrote a cantata for a feature film

under the name "Alexander Nevsky", in
which show the battle on Lake Peipsi.
It is the cantata, that is, the musical
piece for singing, not a suite from
music for the film called his composition
Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev.
Almost 300 years ago, a polyphonic
household song - "kant". The word is translated
from Latin means "song", "singing" and
consonant with the Italian word "cantara", which
means "to sing".
The authors of the cants were singing teachers,
students, singers of church choirs. Kants
devoted to different events. In them
sang the victory and mourned the dead,
condemned betrayal and ridiculed
stupidity. Under Peter I, cants were composed for
victory celebrations.
The cantata is a great work
consisting of several parts. She
performed in the concert hall by the choir,
orchestra and solo singers.
There will be no scenery on the stage. will take their
places of the orchestra in tailcoats, will come out and
a choir will be built, clear ranks of women in
long dresses and men in black
suits. The conductor will give a sign and a line
white sheets will draw these orderly rows:
the choristers will prepare the notes. But it will start

the music will disappear. Before us will rise
exhausted, devastated by the Mongols, Rus',
gathering strength to fight a new enemy.

To a glorious battle, to a mortal battle!
The call sounds powerful and menacing; then low
roaringly, then they lead high and loudly
song melody. Here they are merged together, as if
militias coming from different places gathered in
one mighty army:

"Deeds of bygone days,
Traditions of antiquity deep ... "
I'll tell you guys about the old
times. More cities on the far side
there was no Russian land, only the steppe
boundless, dense forests and lakes and rivers
blue. The water is clean, transparent, in that water
fish are invisible. But in swamps and

lakes, they say, there was another
living creatures, for example, water or mermaids.
And in the forests not only animals roamed, but also
the goblin walked and creaked. They talk about it
ancient legends of the distant ancestors of the Slavs.
They passed on their stories from generation to
generation orally: so they have come down to us.
There were many ancient Slavic settlements on
Rus', and they were all called differently.
They remember that the Antes tribes once lived,
Ross (hence the name: Rus); Later
glades, drevlyans, northerners, vyatichi appeared,
Volynians, Buzhans ... A long and difficult path
Mother Russia has passed since those ancient times. AND
the Pechenegs and the Polovtsians ravaged it, and the Swedes with
the Germans attacked from the north, and 200 years under
the Russian people languished under the Tatar yoke. But
survived! Strong, to know, turned out to be a spirit.
And Russian people are always their own
renowned for their hard work. mother earth
plowed, fished, hunted in the forests.
The beauty of the native land was appreciated by themselves
tried to create beauty. That spoon
painted, then an intricate bowl, then a toy
cunning will come out of skillful hands
artisan. And what costumes they wore!
Look not look enough at the patterns, woven yes
embroidered! Well, about fairy tales, songs and games
nothing to say pure spring of living water.

That's what people sometimes call
creation.
Folk art is sometimes called
folklore. This word is English and means
here's what: folk folk, lore knowledge or
wisdom. Indeed, Russian
folklore is truly an inexhaustible source
beauty and wisdom! Composer M.
Glinka said so: “Music composes
people, and we, composers, only arrange
(we arrange, change, state) it.
If in calendar ritual songs, in
dancing and round dances we ourselves are
participants in the action, then in the old
epics there is always someone who
tells, and we just carefully
we listen. Epos is what these ancients call
legends. Epic songs, tales of long ago
past tenses, sometimes with elements
fiction. Every nation has its own epic
(Ukrainian thoughts, Norwegian sagas, German
tales of the Nibelungs, French songs about
Roland...).
The sounds of yarovchatye gusli are floating, and majestic,
singsong speech slowly talks about
famous heroes of the times of Kyiv
Rus': about Volga and Mikul, about the glorious Ilya
Mypomce, about Dobryn Nikitich and Alyosha
Popovich.

for the same reason, the majority of those present did not

your thoughts.
Stormy sky and strong wind blowing
gray hair of the old man, as if they echo his story about
great battles and heroism of the Russian
people. The faces of the listeners, serious and
tense, suggesting that
narrated by the blind Bayan causes them
a sense of determination. Maybe soon
there will be a battle, and the old man, talking about
exploits of the defenders of Rus', sets everyone
to win.
The native land can do everything: to feed with bread,
drink from springs, surprise with its beauty.
It just can't protect itself. A
because the protection of the native land is
the duty of all those who eat her bread, drink

heroes. They lived much earlier

talks about the heroes of the people, and
imagined them, imagined them. And now
for us, the heroes are exactly the same as on
painting by V. Vasnetsov.
Three heroes stopped in an open field.
In the middle on a black horse - Ilya Muromets,
glorious hero. Strength and wisdom
felt in all its form. He vigilantly
looks into the distance from under the palm of your hand. In one hand
spear, in the other - a heavy club. Worth under
him a horse, slightly shaking his bells under

bangs. The horse is calm, only evil squints his eyes
towards the enemy. Peasant son Ilya
Muromets performed feats not for the sake of glory, but
because he loved his land, his people.
On the left on a white horse - Dobrynya Nikitich
representative and stately. He gets
damask sword. Shield at Dobrynya with stones
decorated, his sword is damask, and his eyes
him intently. Under it is white
the long-maned horse stands, nostrils inflate,
it is clear that he senses the enemy.
To the right of Ilya is Alyosha Popovich. In the left
he has a bow in his hand, and a goose on his right hand
vernal. Alyosha sing songs and fight
can. A sly smile on his lips, here
now sing a song to the whole steppe. Armed
he is more modest. Red horse Alyosha to match
him: lowered his head low to pinch
herbs, but pricked up his ears. Khiter Alyosha! Not
looks towards the enemy, but only squints his eyes
Yes, a tight bow keeps ready.
Three heroes stand on a wide plain.
In the distance, the hills of their native land darken. Chutko
the heroes are listening: can not see the enemy,
don't they offend anyone?
Heavy white clouds swirl in the sky.
The free wind gathers them into clouds, walks along

"Alexander Nevsky" was released on December 1, 1938 and immediately
won a huge success. This success prompted the composer to
thought to write a cantata on the materials of the music for the film. winter
He devoted 1938-1939 to this work. The task was very
difficult. “Sometimes it’s easier to write a completely new play than
invent spikes, ”he complained to his relatives. It needed to be completely
re-orchestrate all the music, as the previous orchestration was
designed for the use of electronic means used in
recordings of film music, various effects associated with the approximation and
removal of one or another instrument from the microphone, etc. In addition
moreover, from disparate fragments that sound throughout the film,
it was necessary to arrange the harmonious sections of the vocal-symphonic
cycle. Cantata, which received op. 78, consists of seven parts, - "Rus
under the Mongol yoke", "Song of Alexander Nevsky", "Crusaders
in Pskov", "Get up, Russian people", "Battle on the Ice", "Dead
field" and "Alexander's Entry into Pskov", - absorbed all the best,
what happened in film music. On May 17, 1939, it premiered in
Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.

The best features of creativity were embodied in the music of "Alexander Nevsky"
Prokofiev - the universality of style, capable with equal force
embody Russian heroic images, heartfelt lyrics,
tough, mechanized images of the invaders. The composer combines
picturesque and pictorial episodes with song and choral scenes,
close to the opera-oratorio style. Breadth of musical generalizations
does not interfere with the visible concreteness of individual images.

"Rus' under the Mongol yoke" - a short symphonic prologue,
introducing into the harsh atmosphere of the era and events. Dominate
archaic chants with a wild "sobbing" grace note, with a wide
divorced unisons, sounding at the highest and lowest
instruments, thus creating the impression of an immense distance,
huge spaces. In the epic "Song of Alexander Nevsky"
the main theme of Russia arises, its invincibility and greatness (“A and
there was a case on the Neva River). In the part "Crusaders in Pskov" for the first time
conflicting images collide. Rigid, with sharp
harmonies, menacingly sounding heavy copper, severe ascetic
chorale and militant fanfare characterizing enemies
mournful tunes and quivering emotionality are contrasted
the sound of strings, embodying the people's grief. combat prowess and
courage breathes the main melody of the choir "Get up, Russian people",
born of Russian folk song. Center of the cantata - grandiose
painting "Battle on the Ice". Scenic intro paints a picture
morning landscape on the shores of Lake Peipus. And then, gradually
growing and accelerating, the terrible
inhuman strength. Against the stubbornly hammered ostinato background sounds
catholic chorale from the third part, reaching to frenzy. Them
the valiant theme “Get up, Russian people” and
mocking buffoon tunes, and the rapid rhythm of the Russian gallops
riders. The battle episode ends with an almost visible picture
catastrophes (crusaders fall through the ice). The sixth part -
"Dead Field" is the only solo aria in the cantata that
has the features of folk lamentation. She conquers with severity
melody, depth and sincerity of feeling. Victorious Patriotic
the finale is distinguished by bright, festive orchestration, chiming
bells, the sound of Russian themes that appeared earlier.
The majestic sound of the choir “In Rus', dear, in Rus', big is not
to be an enemy" completes the cantata.

- Today in the lesson we will get acquainted with the genre of vocal - instrumental creativity cantata.

- Do you know what a cantata is?

A cantata is a large work consisting of several movements. It is usually performed in a concert hall by a choir, an orchestra and solo singers.

Today at the lesson we will listen to fragments of the cantata "Alexander Nevsky".

- Do you know who Alexander Nevsky is? Alexander - the great Russian prince, was born in November 1220 In 1236 he was appointed to the reign of Novgorod, since his father Yaroslav left to reign in Kyiv, and in 1239 he married the Polotsk princess Alexandra Bryachislavna . In honor of the victory in the battle with the Swedes on the Neva River, he was given the nickname Nevsky.
In the conditions of terrible trials that hit the Russian lands, Alexander Nevsky managed to find the strength to resist the Western conquerors, gaining fame as a great Russian commander, and also laid the foundations for relations with the Golden Horde. In the conditions of the ruin of Rus' by the Mongol-Tatars, he skillfully weakened the hardships of the yoke, saved Rus' from complete destruction. “The observance of the Russian land,” says Solovyov, “from trouble in the east, the famous feats for faith and land in the west brought Alexander a glorious memory in Rus'. Alexander Nevsky was elevated to the ranks of saints for his merits.

S.S. Prokofiev, a Russian composer, admiring the exploits of the Russian prince, wrote a musical work - a cantata, which he called "Alexander Nevsky".

The cantata "Alexander Nevsky" was written to the texts of the poet Vladimir Lugovsky and the composer himself. It is intended for mezzo-soprano, mixed choir and orchestra. The cantata originated from the music for the film of the same name, which was staged in 1938 by the outstanding Soviet film director Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein. The film and music for it, created shortly before the Great Patriotic War, resurrected on the screen the heroic struggle of Alexander Nevsky's squad with the Teutonic knights-crusaders.

There are seven parts in the cantata: Each of the parts strikes with the brightness of images. Listening to music alone, it is as if you see the frames of the film in front of you - the endless plains of Rus', Pskov devastated by the Germans, you watch the battle on Lake Peipsi, the frightening advance of the crusaders, the rapid attacks of the Russians, the death of knights in the cold waves of the lake.

Song about Alexander Nevsky- the second part of the cantata. The music is majestic and strict. It looks like a fresco by an ancient Russian painter who depicted a stern and devoted warrior. The song speaks of the victory of the Russians over the Swedes and gives a warning: "Whoever comes to Rus' will be beaten to death." Both the text and the music are sustained in an epic spirit. The vocal part is performed by a unison choir - male voices, complemented by violas. The main melody is narrative, measured.

The "Song of Alexander Nevsky" reproduces features characteristic of the tunes of many ancient Russian epics.

In the middle part of the song, the narration becomes more agitated and the tempo picks up. In accordance with the rhythm of the verse, two- and three-part sizes replace each other in music. The orchestra reproduces the sounds of battle - the rattling of weapons, the blows of swords. Harps imitate the sound of the harp accompanying epic songs in the old days.

(tell about the three-part form) When listening again, work with cards.

Get up, Russian people!- fourth part. This is a choral song of a completely different nature. Not a story about past events, but a call to battle for the Russian land. During the Great Patriotic War, the choir "Get up, Russian people" often sounded on the radio. The film "Alexander Nevsky" was shown at the fronts to the soldiers of the Soviet Army.

For a long time in Rus' there was a custom - to announce important events by striking the alarm bell. The orchestral introduction to the choir imitates the disturbing and menacing bell sounds that accompany the singing of the choir in its first movement. In the melody, in its persistently repeated energetic intonations, battle cries and appeals are heard. The rhythm of the march emphasizes the heroic nature of the music.

- What is an alarm? ( A signal to gather people in case of fire or other disaster, given by the sound of a bell. Sounds of alarm. Sound the alarm - 1) ringing a bell to notify of a disaster, call for help; = 2) transfer. to raise an alarm, to draw public attention to some danger).

Is there a tripartite form in this fragment?
