Bards author's song. Bards of Russia

The name of Bulat Okudzhava has firmly entered the list of the most famous bards. It was he who became the founder of this style in the USSR. While the official stage sang cheerful and positive compositions, Okudzhava created profound works about the meaning of life, hopes and unfulfilled dreams. Each of his songs is a subtle and heartfelt text, where the music is just an accompaniment. Many of Okudzhava's songs - "Goodbye", "And we are with you, brother, from the infantry", "Your Honor, Madam Luck" - passed into the category of folk songs. Also, his works are heard in popular Soviet films of the 1950-1980s.

Alexander Rosenbaum - doctor and poet

Despite the fact that Rosenbaum has a medical education, only his early works are associated with the work of a doctor. His bardic lyrics cover the topics of civic duty, the fate of Russia, and philosophical issues. Some songs are permeated with gypsy motifs. A large layer of creativity covers the theme of post-revolutionary Russia. A special place in the lyrics of Rosenbaum is occupied by the theme of the war - the Great Patriotic War and the Afghan War. Rosenbaum performs his works under, but at concerts he often performs solo on a twelve-string instrument.
Unlike many other bards, Rosenbaum was officially recognized in the USSR.
Vysotsky was a successful actor, poet and writer. However, most people know him as a performer. Although Vysotsky himself did not like it when his work was classified as a bard, many of his motives are similar to this trend. As well as, Vysotsky paid great attention to the text, and not to the music. In his work there are songs about the war, love lyrics, satirical couplets and acute social themes. An interesting phenomenon was dialogue songs, where Vysotsky sings, depicting various characters.
More than 170 city objects are named after Vysotsky.

Yuri Vizbor - creator of the song-report

Yuri Vizbor, like Bulat Okudzhava, stands at the origins of the author's song. His rich life experience affected Vizbor's work - he worked as a journalist, played in the theater, went in for mountaineering and football, went to. His first song work Vizbor, while a student at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute. Later he became the author of the MGPI anthem.

The term "bard" first appeared in medieval Europe. This was the name given to wandering singers who performed both their own songs and folk ballads. In the middle of the 20th century in the USSR, bards began to be called performers of author's songs, i.e. the meaning of this word has hardly changed.

Art song clubs

During the "thaw", i.e. in the mid-1950s, clubs of authorial, or amateur, songs (KSP) appeared in the USSR. For lovers of this genre, rooms were allocated in the Houses of Culture, Houses of Officers and other centers of culture. They were supervised by the departments of culture and were islands of free thought in the sea of ​​official ideology. From time to time, clubs got into trouble if they went beyond the allowed limits. KSP often balanced on the verge of closing, but, nevertheless, relatively safely existed until the end of perestroika, as a valve for dumping superheated steam. After perestroika and the advent of a market economy, the KSP fell on hard times, as local authorities often simply do not have the will or the means to pay rent for bards. However, in many localities, PCBs have been preserved. You can find out their addresses on the Internet on city websites or in the department of culture of the municipality.

Travel clubs

The author's song is inextricably linked with classical tourism: mountain, water, hiking. All the famous Soviet people were either engaged in tourism themselves or wrote about tourists: about the romance of distant roads, about dangerous river rapids, about climbers and mountaineering... These songs have been sung by several generations of tourists in the post-Soviet space. Songs with a guitar or a cappella by the fire at a halt are an obligatory detail of a successful trip. If there is no club in the city, bards may meet in tourist clubs.

Bard song festivals

Most bards gather at art song festivals. The most famous of them is Grushinsky, which has been held annually since 1968 at the end of June in the city of Tolyatti, Samara Region. Currently, the festival has been divided into 2. The second festival takes place at the same time on the Mastryukovsky lakes of the Samara region.

In addition, regional bard festivals are held in every region of Russia during the warm season: "Sail of Hope" in the Voronezh region, "Oskolskaya lira" in Belgorodskaya, "Autograph of August" in Lipetskaya, "Robinsonade" in Leningradskaya, etc. Information about festivals in each region is posted on the Internet. On the official pages of the festivals, the time and place of their holding and the most convenient route for getting there are indicated.

Bard songs are a unique genre, at the same time close to the soul and far from the everyday life of big cities.

The bard appears to us as a traveler who traded comfort and constancy for romance: a fire in the forest, a tent, an old guitar and a starry night sky.
Bards cannot live as they should in society, because from within they are pressed by the song. They continue the long tradition of minstrels, troubadours, traveling musicians who have traveled the world for centuries to bring people a song about real feeling, about true beauty, about pure love and about real, hard, but wonderful life.

Deep meanings, attentiveness to really valuable moments in life - that's what distinguishes this genre of song. Author's songs are always deeply touching, natural and sincere. This is music that evokes awe, awakens memory, cleanses a person from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Every person who once touched the bottomless wisdom and eternal goodness of this musical direction dreams of getting to the bard song festival.

The bards of Russia are a powerful stylistic direction, an independent unique group of musicians, influencing even world trends.
Representatives of this group formed their own unique genre, combining the breadth of the Russian soul with love for the greatness of Russian nature, the power of feelings and experiences that only our soul can face. Russian bards create songs that instantly become folk, music that remains forever playing in the soul. They tell stories about the forgotten side of life, to which we are drawn with all our being. They return peace and the ability to love the world, no matter what obstacles it creates in our path.

The songs of the bards are, as it were, devoid of an author. They are created by the soul, they reflect the fate of an entire generation, an entire era. This is smart and subtle music that awakens the best features in a person. Every day you are surrounded by a world where the weak are defeated, and the strong are forced to fight every minute. In these circumstances, it is very important to find support from those who know how to love this difficult life and share the love for it with the listeners.

High-quality music performed by Russian bards is a decoration for any holiday and event. This is a particle of sincerity, which we so lack in modern fast life. The author's song shares philosophy and strength with the listeners, energizes and calms.

We offer the organization of concert programs with the participation of the participants of the project "Songs of our century": V. Berkovsky, Dmitry Bogdanov, A. Mirzayan, L. Sergeev, G. Khomchik, Lidia Cheboksarova, Konstantin Tarasov, Dmitry Sukharev, Sergey Nikitin, Alexei Ivashchenko, Vadim and Valery Mishchuk, Sergey Khutas, Evgeny Bykov, the ensemble "Songs of our century", the MISiS choir and others.

The best bards of Russia - women

Buying a diploma of higher education means securing a happy and successful future. Nowadays, without documents on higher education, it will not be possible to get a job anywhere. Only with a diploma can you try to get to a place that will bring not only benefits, but also pleasure from the work performed. Financial and social success, high social status - that's what the possession of a diploma of higher education brings.

Immediately after the end of the last school class, most of yesterday's students already know for sure which university they want to enter. But life is unfair, and situations are different. You can not get into the chosen and desired university, and the rest of the educational institutions seem unsuitable for a variety of reasons. Such a life “treadmill” can knock out any person from the saddle. However, the desire to become successful does not go anywhere.

The reason for the lack of a diploma may also be the fact that you did not manage to take a budgetary place. Unfortunately, the cost of education, especially at a prestigious university, is very high, and prices are constantly creeping up. Nowadays, not all families can pay for the education of their children. So the financial issue can be the reason for the lack of documents on education.

The same problems with money can become the reason that yesterday's schoolboy instead of the university goes to the construction site to work. If family circumstances suddenly change, for example, the breadwinner passes away, there will be nothing to pay for education, and the family needs to live on something.

It also happens that everything goes well, you manage to successfully enter a university and everything is in order with training, but love happens, a family is formed and there is simply not enough strength or time to study. In addition, much more money is needed, especially if a child appears in the family. Paying for education and supporting a family is extremely expensive and one has to sacrifice a diploma.

An obstacle to obtaining higher education can also be the fact that the university chosen in the specialty is located in another city, perhaps far enough from home. Parents who do not want to let go of their child, the fears that a young man who has just graduated from school may experience in front of an unknown future, or the same lack of necessary funds, can interfere with studying there.

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons not to get the desired diploma. However, the fact remains that without a diploma, relying on a well-paid and prestigious job is a waste of time. At this moment comes the realization that it is necessary to somehow resolve this issue and get out of this situation. Anyone who has the time, energy and money decides to enter the university and get a diploma in an official way. Everyone else has two options - not to change anything in their lives and stay vegetating in the backyard of fate, and the second, more radical and bold - to buy a specialist, bachelor's or master's degree. You can also purchase any document in Moscow

However, those people who want to settle down in life need a document that will not differ in any way from a genuine document. That is why it is necessary to pay maximum attention to the choice of the company to which you entrust the creation of your diploma. Treat your choice with maximum responsibility, in this case you will have a great chance to successfully change the course of your life.

In this case, the origin of your diploma will never interest anyone again - you will be evaluated solely as a person and an employee.

The bards of Russia are representatives of a vast layer of Russian musical and song culture, which has developed since the beginning of the 50s of the last century.

A bard and a song performer rolled into one, consistent in his work. The songs of bards in Russia are distinguished by a variety of genre and style. Someone sings humorous ditties, someone tries to touch the romantic feelings of listeners with their songs. Many Russian bards use the themes of their songs to achieve a satirical effect.

Vladimir Vysotsky - People's Artist, Russian bard

There is in the author's song, whose work, of course, belongs to the high art of the song genre. There are only a few such bards, the most famous of them is Vladimir Vysotsky, who is deservedly considered an unsurpassed master of art song. Vysotsky had a unique gift for impersonation, many of his songs are written as if from the perspective of a character - it can be any inanimate object, an airplane or a submarine, a microphone on stage or an echo in the mountains.

The song begins - and the character comes to life. The Yak is a fighter, lives its own life, participates in air combat as if on its own, and the pilot only interferes with him. And there are many such striking examples, unique songs written in the first person.

Vysotsky's author's songs are divided according to plot features. He has "yard", "lyrical", "sports", "military". Each song is a masterpiece of poetry set to a simple melody. The talent of the great Russian bard Vladimir Vysotsky is unlimited, which is why he was granted nationwide recognition, and his work is immortal.

Bulat Okudzhava

Bulat Okudzhava is another outstanding Russian bard, poet and singer-songwriter. He is a prominent representative of the literary beau monde of Russia, a composer and director. But the author's song ran like a red thread through all of Okudzhava's work, which was part of the poet's life, a way of his self-expression. On the account of Bulat Okudzhava there are several brilliant works in the genre of the author's song, the main of which is considered the recitative "We need one victory" from the film "Belorussky Station".

Bulat Okudzhava was the first Russian bard who was allowed to perform with his own songs. This event took place in 1961. The following year, Bulat Shalvovich was accepted as a member of Union B during his trip to France, the bard recorded twenty songs, which were published in Paris under the name Le Soldat en Papier. In the seventies, records with songs by Bulat Okudzhava began to be released in the USSR.

The best bards of Russia

Rosenbaum Alexander - an outstanding Russian bard, a resuscitator by education, graduated from the First Medical Institute in Leningrad. Author's songs began to write in 1968 for skits and student performances. Currently, he is one of the most popular Russian bards with an extensive repertoire, is included in the list of Russian bards - in the top five. In 2005, Alexander Rosenbaum combined deputy duties with concert activities.

Vizbor Yuri is a teacher by profession, a bard by vocation, a mountaineer, a skier and a journalist. Author of numerous songs about mountain peaks, climbing and rafting on mountain rivers. From the pen of Yuri Vizbor came the cult song of the students and all the youth of the 60s "You are my only one." The "bards of Russia" community arose on the initiative of Vizbor.

Evgeny Klyachkin, civil engineer, poet, bard, romantic, author of three hundred songs. In 1961, at the age of 17, he wrote his first song "Fog" to the verses of Konstantin Kuzminsky. From that day on, the creative path of the Russian bard Evgeny Klyachkin began. At first, he wrote songs to the verses of Joseph Brodsky and Andrei Voznesensky. The cycle of songs, assembled from romances performed by the characters of the poem "Procession" by I. Brodsky, is still considered the pinnacle of the author's song.

Zhanna Bichevskaya, star of the author's song

Zhanna Bichevskaya is a singer who is called the star of the author's song. In her work, she adheres to the themes of Russian patriotism and the Orthodox faith. In the early seventies, Bichevskaya's repertoire included Russian folk songs, which she performed in the bard style, accompanied by an acoustic seven-string guitar. In 1973, Zhanna became the winner of the All-Russian Variety Competition, and in subsequent years she traveled all over the countries of the socialist camp with concerts. Later, she repeatedly performed in the Parisian hall "Olympia" with a full house.

Russian performer of author's songs of his own composition, playwright, screenwriter and poet, was an active member of the "bards of Russia" community. His plays of the early period were staged in Moscow theaters, and Sailor's Silence, written by Galich in 1958 for the Sovremennik Theater, was released only in 1988 directed by Oleg Tabakov. Then Alexander Galich began to write songs and perform them to his own accompaniment on a seven-string guitar. He took the performing traditions of Alexander Vertinsky as the basis of his work - romance and poetic narration with a guitar. Galich's poems in their structure and literary value put him on a par with Vladimir Vysotsky and Bulat Okudzhava. Russian author's song became the main direction in the work of Alexander Galich.

family duet

Nikitin, Sergey and Tatyana are a family duet of bards, their music is heard in many films and theatrical performances. The most famous song - "Alexandra" - sounded in the popular film directed by Vladimir Menshov "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears". By education, Nikitin is a physicist, he graduated from Moscow State University in 1968, is a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences. He has been writing songs since 1962 based on poems by Pasternak, Shpalikov, Bagritsky, Voznesensky, Yevtushenko and other Russian poets. In his student years, Nikitin led the quartet of physicists at Moscow State University, and later became the artistic director of the quintet of the Faculty of Physics, where he met Tatyana Sadykova, who later became his wife.

All Russian bards of the sixties and seventies can be called "Soviet" because they lived and worked under Soviet rule. However, this epithet says little, the performers of the author's song cannot be characterized by either the social system or political conditions - they are people of art who are free in their work.
