conversation script, dedicated to the Day in memory of M.I. Glinka

Prepared and conducted by the teacher Grishanova Yu.S.

G. Yelnya

In the Smolensk estate Novospasskoye, twenty kilometers from Yelnya, the great Russian composer M.I. Glinka (1804-1857), founder of Russian classical music.
“I was born on May 20, 1804, at dawn, in the village of Novospasskoye, which belonged to my parent, retired captain Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka. This estate is located twenty miles from the city of Yelnya, Smolensk province; it is located along the Desna River (near its source) and in a short distance it is surrounded by impenetrable forests, merging with the famous Bryansk forests ... "So begins his autobiographical" Notes "M.I. Glinka. The first biographer of M.I. Glinka V.V. Stasov wrote: “Glinka was born, spent his first years and received his first education not in the capital, but in the countryside, and thus his nature took into itself those elements of musical folk that, in essence, in our cities were preserved only in the heart of Russia, and subsequently formed the main ones.

His grandmother, Fyokla Alexandrovna, took up the upbringing of little Misha. As Glinka recalled, his grandmother took him to her hotly heated (despite summer time) half of the house, dressed him in a squirrel coat and fed him sweet pretzels. The imperious old woman, who "not quite well" treated the servants, spoiled her grandson and did not refuse him anything. His favorite pastime is crawling on the floor, drawing trees and churches with chalk. The harmful effects of the 6 years he lived almost without air had bad influence for the rest of Glinka's life, making him a "mimosa" - "touchy" with unstable health.

Musical abilities were expressed at that time by a passion for bell ringing - he skillfully imitated him on two copper basins. Glinka's uncle (on his mother's side) kept an orchestra and a choir of serfs, and little Misha often listened to their play and even sat down with them with a flute or violin and played along by ear.

After the death of his grandmother in 1810, Mikhail began to live with his parents. His mother tried to teach him to fresh air, but unsuccessfully.

In 1812, Napoleon attacked Russia with his army, and the Glinka family was forced to leave for Orel. The peasants courageously resisted in Novospasskoye, but the estate was plundered. And upon returning to the Smolensk region, the main task was its restoration and education of children (by that time their number had reached 13).

Musical abilities were developed at home by a governess. Michael played on and . However, music had such an effect on Glinka. strong influence that once, in response to a remark about absent-mindedness, he remarked: “What should I do? ... Music is mine!”.

Studying at the Noble Boarding School

In 1817, Mikhail went to study in St. Petersburg at the Noble Boarding School at the Main Pedagogical Institute (in 1819 it was renamed the Noble Boarding School at St. to our brother's boarding house." Glinka's tutor was the Russian poet and Decembrist Wilhelm Karlovich Küchelbecker, who taught Russian literature at the boarding school.

Glinka was especially eager to foreign languages(Latin, Persian), geography and zoology. Mathematical studies interested him less. In parallel with his studies, Glinka took piano lessons from the English composer John Field.

He graduated from the boarding school among the first students.In 1823, his health deteriorated and Glinka went to be treated at the Caucasian Mineral Waters, then went to Novospasskoye, where he sometimes "directed his uncle's orchestra, playing the violin", then he began to compose orchestral music. In 1824 he was enlisted as assistant secretary of the Main Directorate of Railways.

The main place in it was occupied by romances. Among the works of that time are "The Poor Singer" to the verses of the Russian poet Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky (1826), "Do not sing, beauty, with me" to the verses of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin (1828). One of the best romances of the early period - on the verses "Do not tempt me without need" (1825). In 1828 he leaves the service and devotes himself to music alone.

In 1830, Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka went on a long trip abroad, the purpose of which was both treatment (on the waters and in a warm climate) and acquaintance with Western Europe. After spending several months in Frankfurt, he arrived in Milan, where he studied composition and vocals, visited, traveled to other cities. In Italy, the composer met the composers Vincenzo Bellini, and.

In 1833 he left Italy in the summer, went to Vienna, where he did not stay long. Upon learning of the death of his father, Glinka returns to Novospasskoye. He begins to work on the creation of his first opera, Ivan Susanin, which premiered with great success at the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theater in 1836.

In 1835 M.I. Glinka married his distant relative Marya Petrovna Ivanova. turned out to be extremely unsuccessful and overshadowed the life of the composer for many years.

Enters the service in the Court Chapel. Comes to Ukraine to recruit boys - choristers, where he meets Ukrainian folk songs and dancing. Among the newcomers was Semyon Stepanovich Gulak-Artemovsky - subsequently not only famous singer, but also a composer, author of the popular Ukrainian opera Zaporozhets beyond the Danube.

Back in 1837, Mikhail Glinka had conversations with Alexander Pushkin about creating an opera based on the plot of Ruslan and Lyudmila. In 1838, work began on the essay, which premiered in 1842 in St. Petersburg.

In 1838, M. Glinka met Ekaterina Kern, the daughter of the heroine of the famous Pushkin, and dedicated his most inspirational works to her: “-fantasy” (1839) and a marvelous romance based on Pushkin’s poems “I remember wonderful moment» (1840).

Since 1844 he has been traveling in Poland, Germany, France and Spain. Gives concerts, gets acquainted with the culture of countries, attends theaters, concerts. And later, he embodies his impressions in works - on Spanish themes, the overture "Night in Madrid" and "Jota of Aragon".

Glinka spent the winter of 1851-1852 in St. Petersburg, where he became close to a group of young cultural figures, and in 1855 he met with, who later became the head of the New Russian (or ""), who creatively developed those laid down by Glinka.

WITHvoe last trip Glinka went to Berlin, where he died - (according to the old style) in 1857.

He was buried in the Lutheran cemetery. But in May of that yearsister, Lyudmila Shestakova, transported with friends coffin in Kronstadt. Buried in the cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.

In the possession of Glinka - the descendants of an old Polish gentry family, from which in 1655 a branch of the Smolensk nobles spun off - the Novospasskoe estate, or rather, the Shatkov wasteland, as it was originally called, passed in 1750. The small wooden house in which the composer was born was built in late XVIII century grandfather M.I. Glinka - retired major N.A. Glinka. At the same time, in 1786, the stone manor Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was built, after which the village was named Novospasskoe. On the nameless stream flowing into the Desna, a cascade of ponds was arranged, and a small park was laid out on both sides, which subsequently increased significantly. For him, father M.I. Glinka - retired captain Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka (1777-1834), to whom the estate passed in 1805 - specially ordered from St. Petersburg, Riga and even from abroad seedlings and bulbs of rare plants and flowers.
The manor church was built by Glinka's grandfather in the provincial baroque style. The composer's parents are buried near the church. In 1812, a detachment of French soldiers, having occupied Novospasskoye, tried to rob the church, but the peasants, led by the priest I. Stabrovsky, the first teacher of M.I. Glinka - locked themselves in the temple and successfully fought off the enemy. The French robbed the estate, the priest's house, but the church remained untouched.
The Church of the Savior was famous for its bells. The largest of them weighed 106 pounds. His sound was heard for ten miles around. By order of the owner of the estate, this bell was rung all day when the news came of the victory over Napoleon and the expulsion of the enemy from Russia.

The bells of the Novospassky Church were miraculously preserved during the communist pogroms. In 1941, a priest and several lay people removed the bells and flooded them in the Desna. Some of the locals reported this to the Nazis. They grabbed the priest and began torturing him, pouring cold water on him in the cold and demanding that he indicate the place where the bells were hidden - non-ferrous metal was needed for the victory of the Third Reich. The priest died under torture - the Nazis froze him alive. After the war, one of the Novospassky bells was found and is now in the Smolensk Museum.

Mikhail Ivanovich grew up in big family He had six sisters and two brothers. "Our family is numerous, but very friendly," wrote the composer.

The soul of the family was, of course, mother Evgenia Andreevna, "a beauty, moreover, very well educated and beautiful character", according to her daughter Lyudmila. A friend of M.I. Glinka P.A. Stepanov says this about Evgenia Andreevna: "What a wonderful person his mother was! Anyone who only loved her son, she already considered her own; how she caressed us, pampered us. It was so gratifying in her house that all ordinary hardships were forgotten, and her heart was warmed by the frosts of life.
Evgenia Andreevna lived in Novospasskoye for 49 years, carefully raising her children. The most beloved and dearest for the mother was the eldest son Michael.
Big role in the upbringing of the boy, his young nanny Avdotya Ivanovna, a master of singing songs and telling fairy tales, played. But most of all, young Glinka was fascinated by the familiar "sadly tender sounds" of folk songs.

He himself writes in "Notes": "And, perhaps, these songs, heard by me in childhood, were the first reason that later I began to develop mainly Russian music."
“My father,” Mikhail Ivanovich wrote, “loved me and all his children very much. He treated me like a comrade - he confided his secrets and assumptions to me, not hiding his joys and sorrows. He spared no costs for me.”
And the beloved sister of the composer Lyudmila Ivanovna Shestakova recalled:
“My father was a naturally intelligent and by that time very educated young man. He built a new two-story wooden house with 27 rooms, which he furnished with exquisite luxury.
He also transformed the estate, which delighted all the guests. We had everything of our own: weaved carpets, weaved lace, made various embroideries: there were also tailors, shoemakers, painters, carpenters and others - about a hundred people in all, maybe more. Everyone was accommodated by families in wings, of which there were from ten to twelve, except for the house and two large wings. It was a small place or town."

The manor house in Novospasskoye was built by I.N. Glinka in 1807-1810 in place of the previous one. From a document of 1860 it is known that it was a "wooden two-storey house, on a stone foundation, with a corridor covered with shingles, but dilapidated from time to time, and sheathed with boarding with porches and 4 balconies, lined with paper wallpaper on the lower floor, there are 17 rooms in them, windows with double frames, copper handles, latches and hooks 40 ... Dutch ovens from simple tiles with all accessories - 16.

On the first floor there were utility rooms, a billiard room, a dining room, a hall, a living room, a sofa room, on the second floor there were bedrooms and a nursery. The ceilings of the rooms were painted by the best Moscow masters. “The furniture in each room was made of a special tree,” recalled Sister M.I. Glinka, L.I. Shestakova. - Magnificent mirrors, parquets, chandeliers, lamps ... Everything was done with such taste and elegance that if our house were moved to St. Petersburg, it would not be one of the last. It was built entirely of oak and pine - a strong good forest. In front of the balcony of the house, a huge "sloping meadow" opened up a panorama of the banks of the river, the fields and meadows beyond the river.

Living room

In addition to the master's house, there were many other buildings in Novospasskoye - two wings built in 1806-1811, the "master's bath", a mill, greenhouses, a fuller's shop, etc. All of them were wooden, and have not survived to this day, like the manor's house itself.

It is still unknown who was the creator of the huge landscape park, which today occupies the entire territory of the estate. There is no doubt that he was an outstanding master of gardening art. The complex relief of the area where the estate is located served partly as a hindrance, and partly as a help to the master. Using this circumstance, the creator of the park in Novospasskoye widely used the system of free placement of park elements. Its basis was made by lindens, elms, maples, oaks and ash-trees. Small groups of trees and shrubs alternated with clearings and small lawns planted with flowers. One of the lawns was called "Cupid Meadow" - here among the roses stood a marble statue of Cupid.
During the war, many trees were cut down, and now only about three hundred centuries-old trees have survived in the Novospassky park, among which are nine oaks planted by M.I. Glinka. The giant oak, under which Glinka composed the score of Ruslan and Lyudmila, has also been preserved.
The natural boundary of the park was the Desna River. Pavilions stood on its small islands, where on holidays the orchestra of serf musicians, which belonged to Uncle M.I., played all day long. Glinka. The future composer also listened to these concerts, and later played the violin and flute himself. His first music teacher was a village violinist.
Glinka was very fond of Novospasskoye. And many years later, he often came to his native land, and the impressions of life in the estate were invariably reflected in his work.
The last time M.I. Glinka visited Novospasskoye in June 1847. “I arrived at Novospasskoye in good health, but soon began to feel that my appetite and sleep began to disappear,” he wrote. “Wishing to support myself, for gymnastics I began to chop extra lindens with a small ax, of which there were many, in order to give space to oaks, elms and other trees.” But his health continued to deteriorate, and Glinka left for Petersburg. And when the composer's mother died in 1851, trips to Novospasskoye lost all meaning for him, and Glinka wrote to his sisters that "he would never again come to Novospasskoye without his mother."
After the death of the composer's mother, E.N. Glinka (1783-1851) the estate was owned by his sisters - L.I. Shestakova and O.I. Izmailov. In 1879, Novospasskoye passed to the Kolomna merchant F.T. Rybakov, who in 1882 sold the furnishings, dismantled the house with outbuildings and moved them to Kolomna, where they soon burned down. At the beginning of the 20th century, Novospassky was owned by the Smolensk merchant Zelikin, who built a dacha next to the foundations of an old manor house and cut down part of the park for this. The remains of the estate perished during the Great Patriotic War.

After the death of Mikhail Ivanovich, his house was sold by relatives and taken away. The family home was destroyed. The estate of 20 hectares fell into complete disrepair, and a magnificent park with an orchard, greenhouses, an English garden for youth festivities turned out to be abandoned, two cascades of ponds perished.In 1976, the restoration of a two-story wooden house and the estate itself began. 27 construction organizations of the Smolensk region took an active part in the restoration of this estate.Based on archival materials and memoirs, the Glinka house, the guest and kitchen outbuildings, the carriage house, the bakery and the courtyard hut, the walkways, the Amur meadow (rose garden), the cascade of ponds, the gazebos, the greenhouse were restored, the family church, now operating, was restored. The park has been put in order, oaks, maples, lindens have been planted. An orchard has been planted. Pleasing to the eye and numerous flower beds.On May 27, 1982, the museum-estate of M.I. Glinka - the first and the only museum composer. In the five rooms of the house there is an exposition that tells about the life and creative activity M.I. Glinka. The hall, the dining room, the billiard room, the offices of the father and the composer himself, the bird room were restored.

SCENARIO

Sounds "Waltz" A. Griboyedov

Host: There are names in Russian culture that are more than names, without them it is simply impossible to imagine Russian history. These, undoubtedly, include contemporaries - A.S. Pushkin and M.I. Glinka.

Reader: Russian critic V. Stasov wrote: "... Glinka has the same significance in Russian music as Pushkin in Russian poetry. Both are great talents, both are the founders of the new Russian artistic creativity, both deeply national and drawing their great strength directly from the fundamental elements of their people, both created a new Russian language - one in poetry, the other in music.

Host: Let's try to travel back to St. Petersburg in the 19th century. Social life was in full swing: balls, meetings, theater, dinner parties. Pushkin knew the world firsthand. He was a young man who took an active part in this brilliant vain life.

Reader: From the story of Brother Leo: “After leaving the Lyceum, Pushkin took full advantage of his youth and independence. He was attracted in turn by the great light, then by the noisy feasts, then by the secrets behind the scenes.

Host: Pushkin liked balls. “In the days of fun and desires, I was crazy about balls ...” Perhaps that is why he describes secular life so beautifully in “Eugene Onegin”.

Reader: Entered. The hall is full of people;
The music is already tired of playing;
The crowd is busy with the mazurka;
Around and noise, and tightness;
The spurs of the cavalry guard jingle;
The legs of lovely ladies are flying;
In their captivating footsteps
Fiery eyes fly.
And drowned out by the roar of violins
Jealous whisper of fashionable wives.

Host: But soon secular entertainment come to him. Other interests have taken their place.

Reader: From the notes of A.P. Kern: “When reminiscing about the past, I dwell for a long time and often on the time that was marked by the poetic activity of Pushkin and was marked in the life of society by a passion for reading, literary pursuits and, if I am not mistaken, an unusual thirst for pleasure. And then the good old time comes to life again in front of me , seething with an excess of young strength. I see a cheerful, carefree circle of poets of that era, who lived in dreams of happiness. From it stand out in my recollection with particular clarity: Pushkin, Delvig and Glinka. "

Moderator: Indeed, various circles became extremely popular at that time. In addition, literary and musical salons have become very fashionable and visited. Recall the lines from "Eugene Onegin":

Reader: In the living room of a truly noble
The panache of speeches was alienated
And petty-bourgeois delicacy,
Magazine stiff judges.
Mistress secular and free
The common syllable was adopted
And did not frighten her ears
With its living strangeness

Leading: The cream of society gathered here, poets, musicians, artists came here, talked here, listened to music.

Sounds "Waltz" A. Dargomyzhsky

Host: At the beginning of the 19th century, romance appeared in Russia and immediately gained a strong position. Almost all famous composers of that time they pay tribute to this genre, perhaps because the music of poetry and the poetry of music merge in the romance. Light, pleasant melody, simple, well-remembered words make romance the most popular phenomenon. musical life mid 19th century.

Reader: They take away the spirit - domineering sounds!
They are intoxicated with painful passions,
They have the voice of weeping separation
They are the joy of my youth!
The excited heart stops, but I,
longing is not powerful to quench:
The insane soul languishes and desires -
and sing, and cry, and love.
(V.I. Krasov "Sounds")

Host: If we listen to the romances of that time, we will hear heartfelt words about love, friendship, they often sound longing for the past, sadness from unrequited love.

Glinka's romance "How sweet it is for me to be with you"

Host: One of the most talented and rapidly promising composers of that time was Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. He was born in 1804 into the family of a wealthy landowner. As a child, I received many musical impressions. For example, after one of the concerts of his uncle's serf orchestra, the boy received a strong shock.

Reader: From the memoirs of Glinka: “The music made an incomprehensible, new and delightful impression on me, I remained all day ... in some kind of feverish state ...”

Leading: He was not going to be a musician or a professional composer, but fate irresistibly attracted him to musical activity. "What should I do? ... Music is my soul," he once answered his teacher.

At the age of 20, Glinka creates his first romance, at 34 he is already a well-known Russian composer, on whose account there are romances to the words of famous poets of that time - Zhukovsky, Baratynsky, Kozlov and others.

Presenter: Glinka's romances are a lyrical diary composer's life, his reflections on life, sketches of nature. For example, abroad he writes the romance "Venetian Night" to the words of the poet Ivan Kozlov. This is a romance - a picture, the composer depicts beauty in sounds southern night, the mysterious attraction of passions. He said that in the transfer of the landscape, the most important thing is "the spiritual mood produced by such a spectacle" and that it "can be fully expressed by music." In the romance "Venetian Night" Glinka proved himself not only a master musical landscape, but also a brilliant stylist who conveyed the intonations and rhythms of Italian barcarolle songs in music.

Sounds of Glinka's romance "Venetian Night"

Host: And what about Pushkin? Alexander Sergeevich loved music. Let's remember the lines from " stone guest":
From the pleasures of life
Music yields to one love,
But love is a melody...
His poems are extremely musical and melodic. Maybe that's why so many composers were attracted to his work. About 500 compositions of the great poet formed the basis of more than three thousand musical works.

Reader: Wither, wither the summer is red;
Clear days fly away;
Rainy fog creeps
Nights in the dormant shadow;
The green fields are deserted,
The playful brook is cold;
The curly forest turned gray;
The vault of heaven turned pale.
...........................................
Soon, soon winter cold
Grove, visit the field;
A light in a smoky shack
Soon it will shine brightly;
I don't see pretty
And, like a siskin in a cramped cage,
I will mourn at home
And remember Natasha.

Host: Pushkin's poetry captivated each composer in its own way. But if we talk about romances, then Glinka should be remembered before others. Perhaps because there are many related things in the poet's lyrics and Glinka's musical work. We can see the coincidence of attitude. This is reflected in the attraction to light, sublime images. In Pushkin and Glinka, grief is never hysterical, joy is cloudless, love is calm.
Naturally, two such well-known and close-minded people could not fail to meet. And, indeed, they were often in the same society.

Reader: Glinka later recalled Zhukovsky's Saturdays: "... a select society gathered weekly, consisting of poets, writers and people in general, accessible to grace ... A.S. Pushkin, Prince Vyazemsky, Gogol were regular visitors. Gogol at he read his Marriage to me ... Sometimes, instead of reading, they sang, played the piano, sometimes there were ladies, but who were accessible to the fine arts.

Host: Pushkin and Glinka also met with the Delvigs, the Olenins, and M.L. Yakovlev, with Pushkin's sister Olga Pavlishcheva.

Reader: From the memoirs of Glinka: "... Around the same time, I often saw our famous poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin ... and enjoyed his acquaintance until his death."

Host: The young composer and the famous poet not only moved in the same society, not only communicated with each other, but also influenced each other's work.
Once Griboedov told Glinka the theme of a Georgian song. A.S. liked the melody so much. Pushkin that he writes to music the poems "Do not sing, sorceress, in front of me." This was in 1828. The first edition of the romance was not published. Preparing the final version of the romance, Glinka replaced the words "sorceress" with the more successful "beauty".

Glinka's romance "Do not sing, beauty, in front of me"

Presenter: Many of Glinka's romances were called to life strong impressions. Being a passionate nature, easily carried away as, by the way, A.S. Pushkin, he often experienced feelings of admiration, joy, and this was sometimes embodied in the beautiful creations of his muse. This is how one of Glinka's best romances "The fire of desire burns in the blood" was born. It was dedicated to Karolina Kolkovskaya, a student theater school. At the request of the director of the imperial theaters, Glinka began to teach singing to the four best pupils of the theater school.

Reader: From the memoirs of Glinka: "They were all pretty, among them was also the beauty Stepanova, well-known at that time. But not she, but another pupil, not so much beautiful, little by little awakened a poetic feeling in my soul."

Leading: Everyone called her Linochka. Glinka joked: "She is Linochka, and I am Glinochka." Glinka dedicates a romance written to Pushkin's verses to her.

Reader: Glinka wrote: "I wrote this romance on May 20 or 21 of the same 1838 ... and sent it in a letter to Nestor Kukolnik to be delivered to my former student, of whom I still have a vivid memory. Subsequently, Pushkin's words were selected for this music ".. .

Host: Glinka himself often sang this romance with great feeling.

The romance "The fire of desire burns in the blood"

Host: An even more complete fusion of poetry and music is present in another romance based on poems by A.S. Pushkin. The poet dedicated this poem to Anna Petrovna Kern, whom he met in 1819 and whom he was carried away to such an extent that he jumped out undressed into the cold to see her off. After this ball, Pushkin did not meet Anna Kern again, and in 1825, in Mikhailovsky, he was pleasantly surprised to meet her, just as beautiful and charming. The faded feeling awakens again in the heart of the poet. They spend a lot of time together. Pushkin reads his "Gypsies" in Trigorsky. In an effort to express her gratitude to the poet, Anna Petrovna sings Glinka's "Venetian Night" for him.

Reader: Spring night breathed
Light southern beauty,
Quietly Brenta flowed,
Silvery by the moon

Reflected by a fiery wave
Shine of transparent clouds.
And fragrant steam rises
From green shores.

Leading: Deep in the night Pushkin was sitting at his desk, next to him lay a heliotrope flower plucked by Anna. The candle burned. On a piece of paper lay the lines:

Reader: I remember a wonderful moment:
You appeared before me
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.

In the languor of hopeless sadness,
In the anxieties of noisy bustle,
A gentle voice sounded to me for a long time
And dreamed of cute features.

Host: The next day, Anna was leaving and Pushkin came to see her off and handed her a small piece of paper with a poem that was dedicated to her. It was a poem "I remember a wonderful moment."
15 years have passed. In 1839, fate would have it that Anna Kern's daughter, Ekaterina Ermolaevna, met with the then-famous composer Mikhail Glinka. Glinka is fond of her.

Reader: From Glinka's letter: "something of suffering was expressed on her pale face, her clear expressive eyes, an unusually slender figure and a special kind of charm and dignity ... attracted me more and more ... I found a way to talk ... and ... expressed my feelings at that time.

Host: Glinka turned to Anna Petrovna and asked her for an autograph of Pushkin's poem. He wanted to express in music the feelings that once possessed the poet. Thus was born the famous romance, where "everything is true, clear, plastic."

Sounds romance "I remember a wonderful moment"

Host: The acquaintance of Pushkin and Glinka lasted about 20 years. During this time, Glinka created 10 romances based on the poet's verses. In his sounds, he revealed the emotional richness of Pushkin's poems, filled them with supreme simplicity, and allowed listeners to share their thoughts, feelings, experiences.
In 1824, a poem by A.S. Pushkin "Adeli", which, apparently, is addressed to Adele Davydova, a 14-year-old girl. This is a light, playful farewell to life. Glinka writes music for this poem. As always, the composer perfectly captured the mood of the poet and conveyed it in a light, even elegant musical form.

Romance "Adele" sounds

Host: Perhaps, of all Russian poets, A.S. Pushkin, we will find the most perfect examples of love lyrics. His poems are emotional, passionate, and at the same time elegant and melodic.

Reader: For the last time, your image is cute
I dare to mentally caress
Awaken the dream with the power of the heart
And with bliss, timid and dull
Remember your love.

Our summers are running, changing,
Changing everything, changing us
You are for your poet
Dressed in grave twilight,
And for you your friend is gone.

Accept, dear friend,
Farewell to my heart.
As a widowed wife
Like a friend who silently hugged a friend
before his exile.
Host: It is no wonder that Glinka - emotional, lively, could not help but be captivated by Pushkin's poems. He read Pushkin's poem dedicated to Osipova "I love you, although I'm mad" and ... the romance "Confession" was born.

Romance "Recognition" sounds

Moderator: Speaking about the relationship between Pushkin and Glinka, one cannot but recall more serious works. When Mikhail Ivanovich wrote his first opera A Life for the Tsar, which caused a lot of controversy, Pushkin highly appreciated it and read the couplet at a friendly party:

Listening to this news
Envy, darkened by malice,
Let it gnash, but Glinka
Can't get stuck in the mud.

IN recent months life of the poet Glinka saw him quite often. He has a decision to write an opera based on Pushkin's poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" and he shares this idea with the poet.

Reader: From Glinka's notes: "At one of Zhukovsky's evenings, Pushkin, speaking of his poem Ruslan and Lyudmila, said that he would have redone a lot, I wanted to know from him what kind of alterations he intended to do, but his premature death did not allowed me to fulfill this intention."

Presenter: Glinka's opera began 6 months after A.S.'s death, and finished in 1842. Thus, the participation of A.S. the libretto of the opera did not take place, but Glinka managed to preserve the main thing in the opera: the spirit of Pushkin's youthful poem. Music sparkles with joy, fun. Glinka created a wonderful, and very "Pushkin" opera, It contains the majesty of an ancient myth, and fabulous fantasy, and the world of real human relations. "Ruslan and Lyudmila" is a fairy tale opera, but a Russian fairy tale.

Sounds "Overture" from the opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila"

Presenter: (against the background of fading music): Both in the opera and in wonderful romances, Glinka is close to the poet - not only in the magnitude of his genius, but also in his bright attitude, in the sunny clarity and deep nationality of his art, which affirms the sonority and joy of life.

I
Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka occupies the same position in Russian music as Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in Russian literature. If Pushkin is our first poet of world significance, then Glinka is the first composer who opened a new era of Russian culture.
II
M.I. Glinka was born on May 20, 1804 in the village of Novospasskoye, Smolensk province. He spent the first six years of his life under the care of his grandmother Fyokla Alexandrovna, who dearly loved her grandson and trembled with fear for his health. The boy was wrapped in warm clothes, not let out of the hot room all year round, but as a result of such an upbringing, he did not acquire good health. Glinka himself subsequently gave himself the nickname "mimosa".
The nannies chosen by the grandmother helped raise Misha. As Pushkin had a favorite nanny Arina Rodionovna, so Glinka had a nanny Avdotya Ivanovna. This young cheerful woman knew many different fairy tales and songs and introduced the future composer to Russian folk art. Nanny Avdotya's songs were Glinka's first musical impressions, on which his deep love for his native Russian song arose.
Despite the increased attention from his grandmother, the boy was of a quiet and meek disposition. His favorite pastime was drawing with chalk on the floor of trees and churches, from an early age he developed a passion for bell ringing. The boy could distinguish the ringing of different churches and deftly imitated the ringers on two copper basins.
After the death of his grandmother, Misha's life took a new turn. He now had the opportunity to walk around the house, communicate with his parents, younger sisters, peers, there were a lot of new impressions. The boy grew up capable, learned to read early, was fond of drawing, stories about nature, travel.
In 1812, the Glinka family left their home for a while, fleeing the French invasion (Patriotic War of 1812) and moved to Oryol. At this time, little Misha had a chance to hear many stories about the heroic deeds of the Russian people who stood up to defend their homeland. But then no one could even imagine that in the future he would create an immortal monument to the heroism of the Russian people - the opera Ivan Susanin.
Returning to their estate, Misha's parents ordered a governess from St. Petersburg, who began to teach children various languages, geography and music. Misha did not really like memorizing the rules according to the theory “in a nutshell”, that is, word for word, as required by the strict Varvara Fedorovna Klammer, but on the whole he easily and quickly mastered the technique of piano playing.
Guests often gathered in the Glinka house, evenings were held with dances, performances of pieces on the piano and various ensembles. The future composer and his younger sister Polinka took an active part in such musical events.

● Piano ensemble sounds:
M. Glinka "Polka"

Often, the orchestra of serf musicians of Misha's uncle Afanasy Andreevich took part in home concerts. For young Glinka, each such performance was a real event. He especially remembered one performance when the musicians performed the quartet of the Swedish composer B. Kruzel. The new impression from this music was so bright, incomprehensible and delightful that for some time the boy could not think of anything else. It was then, at the age of 10, that he uttered his famous words: “Music is my soul!”. He took a violin or a small flute in his hands and tried to imitate an orchestra.
Thus, having received an education at home, Glinka already knew how to play the piano and a little on the violin and flute. We will also hear these instruments in today's concert.

● Sounds play "Innocence"
(arranged for violin and piano)

In 1817, 13-year-old Misha was sent to study at the Noble Boarding School for Young Men at the St. Petersburg Pedagogical Institute. Here he studied languages, geography, zoology, and studied music: he even managed to take a few lessons from the then famous pianist John Field. Parents often took Mikhail to the theater - operas and ballets aroused indescribable delight in the young man. In the boarding house, Glinka met many famous poets - Pushkin, Delvig, Baratynsky.
Some time after graduating from the boarding school, in 1824, Glinka joined the office as an assistant secretary. This service has had an important impact on further fate Mikhail Ivanovich, because everything is his free time he devoted himself to music, took lessons in dancing, singing, and composition.
One of the first experiments in composing with a text written during this period was the romance "Do not tempt" to the words of E. Baratynsky. Glinka himself considered this work his first creative luck. The romance shows deep feeling poetry, the melodiousness of poetic speech is heard. The melody is surprisingly simple and natural, and at the same time full of warmth of feeling, expressiveness, in it one can already feel the individual creative style of the young Glinka, which is reflected in the beauty and special plasticity of the melody.

● Romance sounds
"Do not tempt"
(arranged for violin, viola and piano)

In the office, Mikhail Ivanovich did not serve long - only 4 years, and in 1828 he left the service in order to devote himself entirely to creativity. Around this time, he composed variations on the theme of a popular city song that existed in the first half of the 19th century, “Among the Flat Valley”. Variations are one of the composer's first experiments in this genre, but they already represent an exceptional example of great artistic value, maturity and completeness.
Among the valleys are flat,
At a smooth height
Blossoms, growing tall oak
In mighty beauty.

● Sound variations
"In the midst of a flat valley"

In 1830, the results of my grandmother's "hothouse" education began to show, and the parents decided to send their son abroad in order to improve his health.
Glinka spent about 4 years traveling around different countries. The journey covered Germany, Italy, Poland, Austria, Finland. Mikhail Ivanovich combines treatment with different doctors with the development and improvement of his musical and composing skills. He meets the masters Italian opera, meets with famous musicians of that time by F. Mendelssohn, F. Chopin, continues to write, takes lessons from Italian maestros, attends famous theaters, but the main idea of ​​this time, which completely captured Glinka, was the idea of ​​​​creating a Russian national opera. Glinka learned a lot from the masters of Italian opera - Donizetti and Bellini, but the idea of ​​​​creating a Russian opera, truthful and majestic, does not leave the composer.

The unexpected news of the death of his father makes Glinka decide to return home. Here Glinka, with great enthusiasm, takes up writing various topics for the future opera "Ivan Susanin". The plot, suggested to the composer by the poet V. Zhukovsky, is taken from the history of the Russian people - the feat of the Russian peasant Ivan Susanin, who led the enemy into an impenetrable forest, thereby dooming him to death, but died himself. After some time, permission was obtained to stage the opera on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in St. Petersburg, but with the condition to refuse monetary reward and rename the opera, dedicating it to the emperor, so instead of "Ivan Susanin" it was called "Life for the Tsar."
In 1836, the premiere of the opera took place, it was a complete success. The sovereign himself was present at the premiere and was the first to thank the composer for the opera, presenting him with a royal gift - a ring of 4,000 rubles. Honoring of Glinka took place, in which A. Pushkin, V. Zhukovsky, artists and friends of the composer took part.

"Dance" from the opera "Ivan Susanin"

After the premiere of Ivan Susanin, Glinka was appointed Kapellmeister of the Court Singing Chapel. He enthusiastically undertook to teach the singers how to read music, worked on the purity of intonation. In the spring of 1838, Mikhail Ivanovich was sent to Ukraine to recruit choristers. There he had the opportunity to get to know and delve into the music of Ukrainian songs. And he even tried to write a few songs in the style of Ukrainian music on verses Ukrainian poet Victor Zabela. The experiments turned out to be so successful that many song listeners often mistook them for processing folk folk melodies. We will listen to one song in the Ukrainian style, arranged for flute and piano:

● Sounds like "Gude viter"
(arranged for flute and piano)

The selected singers were presented to the emperor, he personally examined them, was very pleased and ordered to give Glinka a reward of 1,500 rubles.
At the same time, Glinka publishes "Collection musical plays"And writes for his sister Elizabeth Ivanovna, who was then with a sick nephew in St. Petersburg, the nocturne" Separation ". This work can already be attributed to the period of the full flowering of Glinka's creative genius. The play is remarkable in terms of its bright and original melody, in terms of the strength of feeling, in terms of mature skill, and is practically the best piano piece Glinka, refers to the works that were of fundamental importance in the development of the genre of Russian piano lyrical miniature.

● Sounds nocturne "Separation"

Simultaneously with the nocturne “Separation”, M. I. Glinka is taken for another nocturne - “Regret”, but the death of his beloved 16-year-old brother Andrei does not allow him to finish this work. Later, in 1840, Mikhail Ivanovich used the theme of this nocturne in the romance "To Molly" or "Do not demand songs from the singer" (to the words of N. Kukolnik), which was then included in the cycle of vocal plays "Farewell to St. Petersburg".

● Sounds romance "To Molly"
arranged for violin, viola and piano

In 1840, already married, Glinka met Ekaterina Kern, for whom he had fiery poetic feelings. Like A. Pushkin, who handed his beloved, Anna Petrovna Kern, his best poems “I Remember a Wonderful Moment”, M. Glinka, 15 years later, dedicates his best romance to these poems also to his beloved - her daughter, Catherine. The romance perfectly merges the captivating verses of an outstanding poet and the inspired music of an outstanding composer. The melody enchants with its beauty, smoothness and flexibility. The romance style is characterized by harmony and completeness of form.
I remember a wonderful moment -
You appeared before me
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.

● The romance "I remember a wonderful moment" sounds

In 1840, M. I. Glinka wrote a cycle of 12 romances to the words of his close friend- poet Nestor Kukolnik "Farewell to Petersburg". At this time, constant family troubles take place, bringing Glinka to complete despair; the only way out from the current situation, he sees his departure from St. Petersburg, so the cycle becomes a reflection of all the moods experienced at that moment.
One of the works included in this cycle is a modest, artless song of the folk warehouse "The Lark". It sounds like a memory of native expanses. From childhood, Glinka loved to watch birds, listen to their singing, and often arranged entire aviaries at home with big amount feathered. By imitating the bird's chirping in the piano introduction, flying up in octaves accompanied by it, he creates a mood of light sadness, thoughtfulness. The melody of the romance immediately became very popular and often sounded in the life of Russian people.
Between heaven and earth Do not see the singer of the fields!
The song is distributed Where it sings so loudly
With a non-original stream Over his girlfriend
Louder, louder pouring. Is the lark loud?

Plans to leave abroad, which was supposed in 1840, did not materialize. At one of the concerts, at which the works of the composer were performed, the sovereign spoke of him: “Glinka - Great master, it’s a pity if we stay at one of his operas! And so, having stayed at home, Mikhail Ivanovich came to grips with composing his second opera Ruslan and Lyudmila, the idea of ​​which was suggested to him by the playwright A. Shakhovskoy. But unlike Ivan Susanin, he writes it bit by bit, in fits and starts, using themes composed earlier on previous trips abroad. Taking the plot from the youthful poem by A. Pushkin, he thereby, as it were, dedicated his new work to the memory of the great poet. It took about two years to compose the opera, and in 1842 it premiered. Mikhail Ivanovich received 3,000 silver rubles for staging the opera Ruslan and Lyudmila. The opera was performed frequently and was a success. F. Liszt himself attended one of the performances and highly appreciated Glinka's talent.

● Sounds like Ludmila's Cavatina from the opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila"

III
In the last years of his life, Glinka still managed to go abroad, and more than once. He visited France, Spain, which he had long dreamed of. Museums, palaces, theaters, meetings with famous musicians, in particular, with G. Berlioz, with the support of which the Parisians had the opportunity to get acquainted with the music of Glinka. Many more have been written during these years. interesting works which you and I may hear in other concerts; autobiographical notes were written.
But illnesses more and more often made themselves felt, and in the winter of 1857 the composer died. He finished his life path away from home, while in Germany. Thanks to the efforts of his sister, Lyudmila Ivanovna, he was buried in St. Petersburg, at the cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. But immortality has already come for Glinka's music: it has penetrated into the most remote corners native land, more and more often sounded abroad, and remains alive to this day. Many more generations of musicians will learn from Glinka his perfect mastery, moral strength, modest and pure beauty.
