Scenario of the regional rural festival “On the Heat Wave of Chanson”

The holiday is held in the open concert venue located in the park of the House of Culture. The stage is designed to resemble the interior of a restaurant. There are tables on both sides of it. Chanson melodies sound. The stewards of the holiday escort the festival participants to their seats at the tables, decorated with candles, flowers and soft drinks. There are benches for spectators. There are retail outlets along the entire perimeter, the buffet is run by Manka Obligatsiya and Sonya the Golden Hand.

(Fanfare sounds calling everyone to the beginning of the festival)

The park was quiet before the concert,

The stars and lights lit up

It's good that this evening

With a song we go through life

As we live, so we sing

A song will open the way to hearts

Spreading out like amber.

Vedas 1: Good evening, dear friends!

We are pleased to welcome you today to our festival “Chanson on the Heat Wave!”

Vedas 2: And it is no coincidence that it takes place on our Teplovsky land, since our ancestors never lived under a master, they were a free, freedom-loving people, among whom there were many talented people.

Craftsmen, musicians, accordionists, balalaika players, and later guitarists. Old-timers of the area's culture remember the legendary string orchestra Teplovsky House of Culture. It was a group with its own original musical structure, its own traditions, its own audience.

Vedas 1: Our ancestors sang about how they lived, expressing their thoughts in songs and creativity. And now I give the floor to the organizers of this holiday. Yes, yes, I didn’t make a reservation, then, that I think that this is a holiday for us. A holiday of the soul is always a joyful meeting, it is always lively, cheerful communication, meeting new names.

The person who will now appear on this stage is widely known in the area as an author and performer. The works of this charming performer are imbued with spiritual sincerity, which is sometimes so lacking in everyday life.

And so welcome, the guest of our festival - Alexey Martynov. This talented person dedicated his entire life to culture and creativity. This is a master, a luminary and, so to speak, the godfather of the author's song.

He will perform the song “The Seagull” to the words of Olga Isaeva with his wife, Vera Martynova.

Ved 1: Of course, the organizers are directly related to this holiday. Which we will now thank with applause.

Meet – Head of Administration rural settlement Teplovsky village council - Lomovskoy Nikolai Vasilievich,

Presenter 1: Let's applaud them and say thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet you in this beautiful place.

And we celebrate our festival with good mood, pleasant, beautiful faces on such a chic, beautiful site.

And we open our festival with a song that I hope will sound annually as the opening anthem of the festival. Our holiday has brought together many guests today and we hope that every year we will expand our borders.

The song “Wish” sounds like a symbolic farewell to our participants.

And now we are passing the baton of holding the holiday to our presenters. We greet Natalya and Andrey with applause.

(The instrumental sounds like “chanson”)

Natalya: Good evening, dear friends!

Andrey: Hello, dear participants and guests of our holiday!

Natalya: Greetings to all music lovers and connoisseurs of a good song!

Andrey: My name is Andrey, I am pleased to introduce you to my charming co-host Natalya and new program“Chanson on the Heat Wave!”

Natalya: Chanson translated from French means a pop song in the cabaret style or “tavern song.” In the Middle Ages, urban polyphonic chants were called chanson. At the end of the 19th century, Parisian cabarets began to use this genre. Already in the 20th century, chanson moved to the French pop stage.

Andrey: B modern Russia This term is usually used to refer to the so-called thieves' lyrics, restaurant music, yard songs and songs with a guitar, which, as a rule, are performed on three chords, three pillars - which are the foundation on which the entire genre of Russian modern chanson rests.

Natalya: After all, for some, classics are Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Beethoven, and for others, Alexander Vertinsky, Alla Bayanova, Mikhail Shufutinsky, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Willy Tokarev and Arkady Severny.

Andrey: We all have different musical tastes and even if we love jazz or rock and roll, this does not stop us from singing completely different songs at karaoke. After all, chanson is, first of all, an honest song, sung from the heart, from the very soul and for the soul.

Natalya: And today more than 30 participants in our show, who, to put it mildly, rarely crossed paths with this genre, will try to bring something of their own, unexpected, into modern Russian chanson and give a new sound to these well-known and beloved hits.

Natalya: We welcome the members of our respected, incorruptible, best jury in the world with incessant applause.

1. Long-term permanent leader folk ensemble songs and dances “Free Don” RDK, an absolute professional in her field - Elena Dymova.

2. The head of the department of culture, sports and youth policy of the Dankovsky district administration, who simply sings superbly and accompanies herself on the guitar, is in all respects a very creative and talented person - Irina Rassolova.

(Ostap Bender appears on stage to the accompaniment of a musical intro)

Natalia: dear guests, I would like to ask you a question. How are you feeling today? (answer)

Andrey: It’s a little weak, like something isn’t clear. Let's try this. The festival is taking place for the first time and we need your support. (loudly) How are you guys?!

Natalya: That's better. But I would say, as we, the artists, call it a dress rehearsal. Let's try again.

The ladies will squeal, squeal, and hit their heels, and the men will whistle to greet the festival participants. How are you feeling, friends?!

Natalya: Well, friends! We certainly hope to someday see Stas Mikhailov, Radu Rai, Mikhail Shufutinsky and interesting singer With unusual name Athena, but unfortunately they are still thinking about their participation in our competition. And while the stars are gathering, we open competitive program with the participation of the talents of the Dankov land.

2. Valentina Matieva with the song “And in the restaurant” we will support her.

3. Alexey Tolochanov and his song “Heart in Half”. The village of Balovnevo.

Andrey: If you listen to a song and you get goosebumps, a nostalgic feeling involuntarily arises, which means the song “catches”, and for a long time.

Chanson is a feeling when you can’t do anything else except sing along with the performer.

Natalya: Unlike a popular pop song, in chanson the refined, harmonically verified musical structure is not so important as the text. Not so much the vocal skill of the performer, but the sincerity of his performance. On stage is a wonderful performer of soulful, lyrical songs:

4. Elena Atabaeva with the song “Pink Apples”. Voskresenovsky House of Culture.

Natalya: Oh, Andrey, no matter how much you judge women, we are still women, the best.

Natalya: Friends, now we will work with you a little. Who knows any proverb or saying?

Andrey: Yes, who would have thought!

Natalya: You might think!

Andrey: I don’t think, I work! Who's singing?

September 27, 2016

Are you looking for an extraordinary and bold idea for organizing your holiday, and one that will surprise everyone and be remembered for a long time? Then this High Security Party. You are guaranteed a unique birthday, bachelor party, bachelorette party, corporate party, anniversary, New Year and any other holiday. By the way, October 31 is the day of prison and pre-trial detention center workers. Why not get together?

The theme is quite brutal, but incredibly fun. A prison party, like no other, requires complete immersion in a specific atmosphere. Creating a depressing environment requires careful preparation, so let's get started.

1. Invitations

Any party begins with an invitation. The more original the invitation card, the more actively your friends will get involved in the preparation.

Option one – “Wanted”.

Make individual invitations for each guest in the form of a leaflet informing about the search for this person. You will need photographs of everyone you want to invite to the holiday. Arrange the frame, photo and text on the computer, and then print. If possible, select photographs from your archive that your friends have not yet seen.

It is best to send such leaflets by mail or hang them in a visible place: at the invitee’s office, in the entrance...

Here approximate version text:

“Attention, wanted!
(Photo by friend)
Wanted (name of invitee), suspected of committing a particularly pathetic crime. The announcement of the verdict will take place (date, place and time) under strict security conditions. If you turn yourself in, it is possible to mitigate the punishment in the form of raising glasses, tasting prison gruel, participating in competitions and other entertainment!”

Option two - “Secret meeting”

Come up with a funny gangster nickname for each invitee, playing off his profession or last name. For example, a friend works in trade - Kolya "Huckster", a surgeon - "Ripper", a lawyer - "Zakonofil", a sailor - "Salted", a teacher - Alena "Sit down, two!", an official - Dmitry "Shifting papers", red-haired - “Rusty.” The main thing is that no one is offended.

On the background of a prison cell, print the text: “Rough leaned back. We must choose a new authority. And this will be a selection according to strict criteria: you will need to drink a lot, laugh, have fun and say toasts so that it touches your soul. The secret meeting will take place in my cell on such and such a date in the colony at the address: _______"

Option three "Prison Escape"

As a background for the invitation, you can use pictures dedicated to the series “Prison Break”. The text is:

« Brother (buddy, girlfriend), I will definitely get us free! But I need your help as an experienced burglar. So take a corkscrew and come to my high-security apartment on such and such a date.

Michael Scofil d"

If you plan to convey the dungeon atmosphere as much as possible, focus on the dress code so that all guests are fully imbued with the idea of ​​​​this action and do not feel like visitors to a prison museum.

2. Room design and decorations

If you initially choose the right room, there will be less hassle with decorating the interior. Imagine that you need to recreate a real prison, a maximum security prison. The room should be dark, a little gloomy and somewhat intimidating. Don’t worry, decorative elements (light bulbs, funny signs, cool posters) can easily create a festive atmosphere. It's about about the location of the party.

The action will become truly unforgettable if you arrange everything in a basement or abandoned building. Here, of course, you need to take into account both safety and sanitary conditions. Scary? It’s good if there is a quest room nearby, decorated in a similar theme, and one that can be rented. You can stop at more trivial proposals - a beer bar, nightclub, a restaurant hall or an apartment in general. In the warm season, you can arrange a holiday in nature.

If necessary, decorate the walls of the festive hall with pieces of fabric in gray tones, decorate them with cool stickers with caricatures of prisoners and law enforcement officers. Decorate the airy space with bright paper garlands and black and white flags. An element such as a garland of light bulbs will slightly dilute the strict atmosphere and bring positivity and a sense of celebration into the atmosphere.

Prison height meter. You can make this one yourself. On a large sheet of paper, use a black marker to draw straight parallel lines at equal distances from each other (10 cm). Between them in the middle, draw thinner ones and make digital markings. Hang your artwork in a place that is visible and easy to photograph.

Prison paraphernalia. On tables and shelves, wherever possible, place all the items that are associated with the prison regime. These are parts of a police uniform, revolvers, handcuffs, batons, stun guns, police badges. All these items are sold in stores. Also, make room for prisoners’ belongings: aluminum dishes, prison uniforms (trousers, striped sweatshirts and hats, padded jacket), board games (dominoes, cards, checkers). Organize a separate place for “surprise packages” - a loaf of bread with a file, a sausage with a screwdriver, a loaf of bread with a mobile phone. You shouldn't look for original attributes, it will be too gloomy. Your fantasy, joke shop, sex shop and " Children's world» will be provided with thematic equipment.

Prison cell. If the room is quite large, make a prop chamber with bars. It can be made from an old cabinet, to which wooden slats are attached instead of doors (just leave room for the entrance). Such a camera can also be made from a large cardboard box (see example in). Cover the entire structure with black or silver paint. If the cell turns out to be spacious, then there will be spectacular photos of prisoners in it.

3. Dress code

When choosing a costume for a prison party, you have two options: be a prisoner or a guard. For contrast, let half of those gathered play the role of criminals, the other half - employees of the colony.

Clothes of prisoners of both sexes: striped suits and hats or orange uniforms (American version). An excellent addition to the image will be tattoo(not necessarily a real J). But jewelry will be superfluous.

Law enforcement officers choose clothes in black or dark blue. The look will be completed with shoulder straps, leather belts, sunglasses and weapons.

4. Menu

A high-security party is fun and active; organizing a boring and lengthy feast is irrelevant here. Organize one big buffet, everyone will take what and when they want.

Instead of a tablecloth, place newspapers on the table (or a tablecloth with a similar print). For serving, select tin (aluminum) dishes. Use metal mugs for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Just don’t mock your guests by serving aluminum cutlery; it’s quite unpleasant to eat with them. If you are planning exquisite drinks (which is not at all relevant), take glass glasses.

The menu can be very varied. Take prison food in the US as a guide. Don’t pursue the goal of feeding everyone, pursue the goal of diversifying the menu as much as possible and surprising the guests. Prepare several vegetable salads, baked or French fries, small meat steaks, baked meat, seafood. Make a lot of small but varied sandwiches and canapés. But the highlight of the holiday table can be prison gruel.

Choose drinks at your discretion. Just decorate the container of booze with a prison theme by sticking labels on it with suitable names like “Sip of Freedom”, “Pure Alcohol”, “Thieves’ Cocktail”, “Chifir”, etc.

For dessert, arrange a spectacular presentation of a cake decorated in a high-security style. Make donuts, cupcakes, brownies and black and white candies.

5. Entertainment program

Do you doubt your abilities? Then order a party organizer or professional host. This is especially true if there are many invitees.

Are you going to try everything yourself? Then here are your entertainment options.

"Personal matter"

Prepare a small cardboard folder for each guest with “Personal File No.” written on the front. Then leave these folders with all the contents as a souvenir for each invitee. Separately, place leaves with serial numbers in a pan, vase or hat, starting with one, let each guest draw out his own number. The first thing you can fill out in your “personal file” is fingerprints. Upon arrival of each person, handing him a folder with the selected individual number, offer to make fingerprints of each finger. Prepare paper and paints (gouache or children's finger paints) in advance, as well as a table for this procedure.

"Search"

All invitees are divided into two teams, depending on gender. The two shyest people from each team are selected and they will conduct the search. Next, each guest is given a fake round coin with a diameter of about 5 cm or a regular playing card. All participants hide this little thing on themselves wherever they want: in a pocket, in a sock, in a bra, etc. In turn, everyone passes by two “checkers” who must find the coin/card within 15 seconds. The team whose members were able to find as many hidden objects as possible from their opponents wins.

"Crime Solving"

Prepare cardboard cards in advance on which to write funny accusations. Make the signs legible and in large letters so you can take a photo with them. Let each guest guess his crime at random. Here are some possible charges:

  • Secretly eats employee lunches.
  • Constantly hums the songs of Arkady Ukupnik.
  • Sticks to everything that moves.
  • He snores loudest in the train compartment.
  • Looks under girls' skirts.
  • Takes away sweets from children.
  • Sends a photo of his butt to his colleagues.
  • He brutally mocked his subordinates, telling boring jokes and making him laugh at them.
  • Forced me to look at a family photo album.
  • Dropped and broke the last bottle of vodka.

"The announcement of the verdict"

Prepare a numbered list of different fun activities ahead of time. Each guest has his own individual number received upon entry. Let the presenter, with the important air of a judge, announce his verdict for each (according to the numbers). As an example, we offer several options for tasks:

  • Stand on a chair in the middle of the hall and ask the jury for mercy, trying to prove your innocence.
  • Sing a song in chanson style (words to the song are attached).
  • Drink strong alcohol by lifting the mug (glass) with Japanese chopsticks.
  • Feed prisoner number 5 a banana while completing his mission.
  • Dance a striptease for prisoner number 4.
  • Pop a balloon with your buttocks.
  • Crawl on all fours and elbows, saying “I am Bruce Willis. I'm Bruce Willis. Oh, and a narrow ventilation pipe.”
  • Draw 5 poses of a drunk fashion model for an erotic magazine.

"Escape"

This is a competition for several couples. In each pair, a girl and a guy must cover a given distance as quickly as possible two times in a row. The first time the couple is handcuffed, the girl's leg to the guy's hand. Instead of handcuffs, you can use strong tapes or any ropes. The second time they are tied back to back at the waist. The fastest ones win.

"The Last Wish"

This is a unique variation of the game Fanta. Write on pieces of paper the names of everyone who came to your “strict regime”. Let each guest wish for something doable in at the moment desire and at random pull out a piece of paper with the name of the one who will fulfill everything. If the participant refuses to fulfill the last wish of the prisoner, give him a broom and let him sweep the “cell” for 10 minutes. Jokes about the offender are welcome.

"The Electric Chair" or... "The Green Mile"

Several teams of three people are determined, and each of them must have at least two men. Each team is given a chair and a bottle of strong alcohol. One person sits on a chair, two others carry it. The team's task is to cover a given distance as quickly as possible, but you need to get to the finish line with an empty bottle. Take the bottle, alcohol can simply spill from any other container. All team members have the right to empty the container. The winners receive valuable prizes... and a hangover in the morning.

6. Musical accompaniment

Only if those invited to the party have strong nerves and a desire to fully immerse themselves in the life of people deprived of freedom, choose chanson. There are many variations in this style, from specifically prison songs to unobtrusive “life” songs. If everything is fine with a sense of humor, give preference to songs with a tough meaning. The main thing is not to get bogged down with these heartbreaking stories.

Live music will fit perfectly into a high-security party, especially if there are quite a lot of guests planned. There will also be a topic on playing the guitar

Cool meeting for you! Don’t forget to collect photo incriminating evidence on all “criminals”, in case it comes in handy!

The song “It’s great that we are all gathered here today” will be performed.
Teacher's opening speech

1. HOST: The guitar again // doesn’t want to be silent, // Sings on moonlit nights, // Like in my youth, // With its own family // With silver strings. This is Vysotsky.
2. HOST: Sometimes it is difficult to explain why certain poetic lines come to mind. Let’s say these: “Time has chosen us” - something pathetic, sublime, or “times don’t choose” - this is something of its own, quiet, real. Poetic.
3. HOST: It’s strange that pathos and intimacy are so easily combined when it comes to an original song. And this is so easy to explain: in the years of pathos, you really want something human. What could be more important human understanding? This is a great gift - to love and understand a person, to be able to share joy and sorrow with him, not to be shy about showing kindness, which is so lacking in our cruel age.
4. HOST: We are not magicians, we are just learning, and today is a test of the pen: our vision of the author’s song, our understanding of it, our knowledge about it.
5. HOST: Author's song. it is also amateur, student, guitar, tourist, poetic, self-propelled: Is there any point in continuing the long list? Of all these definitions, perhaps only the term “author’s” somehow reflects the essence of the phenomena. And even then not completely. And anyway, is this a song?
6. READER: Let's start from the beginning. 1937 Now this date evokes very specific associations. And it seems that the first original songs appeared as a counteraction to this terrible time.
This same year. Autumn. Moscow. Two very young boys - schoolboy Zhora Lepsky and first-year IFLI (Institute of Philosophy, Literature and Art) student Pavel Kogan are writing a song. Perhaps unexpectedly even for ourselves. And they write precisely “for themselves.” So far there are four lines that have illuminated Kogan:

Tired of talking and arguing.
And love tired eyes.

The brigantine raises its sails.

Now Zhora sits down at the piano, and after a few hours, through joint efforts, a song is born that is destined to become the FIRST.
It doesn't matter whether she was great or average. There were probably a lot of poetic inaccuracies, controversial images, and childish romanticism in it: But the song took on a life of its own, no longer dependent on anyone.
One of its authors, the poet Pavel Kogan, died in 1942 near the city of Novorossiysk during the Second World War. Zhora (now Georgy) Lepsky is alive.

(Performance of the song “Brigantine”)

Tired of talking and arguing
And love tired eyes:
In the filibuster's far blue sea
The brigantine raises its sails:

Captain, weather-beaten as rocks,
He went out to sea without waiting for us,
Raise your glasses goodbye
Golden tart wine.

We drink to the fierce, to those who are different,
For those who despise a penny's comfort.
The Jolly Roger flutters in the wind
The people of Flint are singing a song.

And in trouble, and in joy, and in sorrow
Just squint your eyes a little -
In the filibuster's far blue sea
The brigantine raises its sails.

7. READER: a little theory. The theory of an art song is a delicate matter, like everything related to creativity. Are there any analogues to the original song in world practice? American song protest? French chanson? Perhaps there are no direct analogues. The author's song is based on problems: one's own, friends', and countries'. Or a picture of life: your own. Friends. Countries. See how wide the range is? From I to We. But we must have the right to say WE so that we agree with it. This means that the main advantage of a bard is the ability to express general moods, feelings, thoughts, ideas.
(Performance of the song “Let’s fill our hearts with music”
8. READER: The author's song is a “piece product.” Because everyone is given their own talent. What is important is the general thing: the ability to write poetry, music, play the guitar, be artistic, charming, a little bit of a psychologist (because how else can you “work” with audiences of thousands?) Another thing is even more important: to combine all this in one person.
(performance of the song “Everyone chooses for himself”)
9 READER: For those who are not familiar with the author’s song, the word “Atlanteans” most likely brings to mind the image of the famous stone figures at the Hermitage. For those who are familiar with the original song, the Atlanteans are the heroes of a very popular song:

When your heart is heavy
And it's cold in my chest,
To the steps of the Hermitage
Come at dusk
Where, without drink and bread.
Forgotten for centuries
Atlanteans hold the sky
On hands of stone.

Everything is clear and easily recognizable. Hermitage. Atlantean figures. A picture created by words. And here is the ending, so important for understanding the essence of the genre of the author's song: “And hope will still live until the Atlanteans hold the sky on their stone hands.” This song, “Atlantas,” is one of the most famous. Many concerts end with her performance. different cities countries. The author is a very talented person. This is geophysicist, doctor of sciences, poet Alexander Gorodnitsky.

(Performance of the song “Atlanta”)

When your heart is heavy and your chest is cold,
Come to the steps of the Hermitage at dusk,
Where, without drink and bread, forgotten for centuries,
Atlanteans hold the sky on stone hands.

Keeping his colossus is not honey from the outside.
Their backs are tense, their knees are brought together.
Their hard work is more important than other works:
If one of them weakens, the sky will fall.

In the darkness the widows will cry, the fields will burn,
And a purple mushroom will rise, and the earth will end.
And the sky is getting heavier every year,
It trembles from the roar of rocket ships.

...They stand, guys, chiseled bodies,
were set once, but the replacement did not come.
The light of day does not please them; they have no time to sleep at night.
Their beauty is disfigured by war with shells.

They stand forever, with their foreheads resting on disaster,
Not gods - people accustomed to work.
And still live in hope until
Atlanteans hold the sky on stone hands.

10 READER: “Atlanteans” are often called the first generation of bards - those whose work began in the 40s and 50s. Their songs are the golden fund of the genre, and they themselves are still extremely popular.
I name names: poet, prose writer Bulat Okudzhava; actor, poet Vladimir Vysotsky; playwright, poet Alexander Galich; artist, poet Mikhail Ancharov; poetess Novella Matveeva; journalist, poet. Prose writer, playwright Yuri Vizbor; journalist. Poet Ada Yakusheva; playwright, poet Yuli Kim; two professional bards who connected their lives with the stage - poets Evgeny Klyachkin and Yuri Kukin. No. We have to stop, otherwise short list will take too long. Please note that in this still long list there is one definition common to all - poet. Poet creating unusual work, which combines the talent of a poet, a composer, a musician, and an actor. Every true bard is a small theater.
11 READER: and here is another one of the luminaries of the author's song - Yuri Vizbor.
Fate gave him a short term: 1932-1984. In his autobiography, he wrote about himself: “I believed that I would become either a football player or a pilot. For football there was a daily training “base” in a nearby park, and for the sky - the Moscow flying club, where I got into the habit of going since the ninth grade:
He became neither a football player nor a pilot. He did not become a writer, although he managed to write several bright, original stories. Didn't become a film actor, although he starred in eighteen feature films. did not become a journalist star, although he invented new genre radio journalism - “song report”. He did not become a famous documentary filmmaker, although several dozen films were made based on his scripts, and he did not become an artist, although many paintings remained after him. And finally, he did not have the chance to become a famous climber, although the mountains were his second home and two mountain peaks were named after him. His life span of 52 years marked him as a talented amateur.
12 READER: in Explanatory dictionary Dahl defines this word as “an amateur, a person who engages in music, art, artistic endeavors not as a hobby, but as an inclination, out of hunting, for fun.”
His “fun” still excites the minds, hearts and souls of tens of thousands of people. The first song lines heard from space were the lines of a song by Yuri Vizbor (it was performed by cosmonaut Alexander Ivanchenkov, accompanying himself on the guitar):

The skis are standing by the stove,
The sunset behind the mountain is fading.
The month ends in March,
We'll have to go home soon.
Hello, gloomy days,
Mountain sun, goodbye.
We will forever keep
This region is in your heart.

13 READER: why exactly Yuri Vizbor was and remains one of the most beloved bards? Perhaps because he sang about his life and talked about it. What worries him, he talked about his understanding of love and hatred, friendship and betrayal, cowardice and courage. He sang about his own - and people recognized themselves. Or they didn’t recognize, but really wanted to find out, because lyrical heroes Vizbora are people of extraordinary thoughts, actions, feelings, and experiences.

What kind of music was it?
What music sounded!
She didn't lecture at all
But she just called quietly.
Called to consider good as good,
And consider bread a blessing,
Cure suffering with suffering,
And warm the soul with wine or fire.

14 READER: the best original songs have their own plot, their own dramaturgy, and what is very important - they have openness, they tell a story about the most intimate, personal. Yuri Vizbor did not live to see either his first collection or his first disc. Official recognition came to him after his death. Official - after death, popular - a long time ago and, it seems, forever.
(the song “My Darling” is performed)

All our meetings are, alas, destined to be separated,
The stream near the amber pine is quiet and sad,
The coals of the fire turned to timid ashes -
It's all over, it's time to part.
Chorus: My dear, forest sun,
Where, in what parts will you meet me?

The wings folded the tents - their flight was over.
The seeker of separations, the airplane, spread its wings,
And the ladder slowly moves away from the wing -
Indeed, a gulf has opened up between us.

Don't console me, I don't need words -
I would like to find that stream near the amber pine tree,
Suddenly there in the fog a piece of fire turns red.
And, imagine, they are waiting for me by the fire.

15 READER: Julius Kim is one of the most unpredictable bards. In his song creativity intertwined lyricism and sarcasm, irony and the pain of misunderstanding, truth and fantastic fiction. He was preparing to become a teacher, graduated from the Moscow Pedagogical Institute, worked in a school in the small village of Anapka in Kamchatka, and in Moscow boarding schools. The kids loved him very much (this is known from them themselves) - he didn’t just teach, but told, explained, helped to understand, and was simply friends with his students. He also wrote songs. Unusual for that time: they featured mischievous boys, and excellent students were not heroes, but were objects of ironic “admiration.” Moreover, everyone understood that, in general, knowledge is a necessary thing, but there is also the taiga. Ocean. Tundra. There are friends with whom it is so wonderful to spend time after school. In short, the songs written at the institute and in Kamchatka quickly became popular in the country.
16 READER: perhaps one of the main successes of Yuli Kim in the 60s was a cycle of songs dedicated to the War of 1812. The songs are actually comic, theatrical, because satire and humor, irony are the main thing creative direction Kima. He wrote more than ten plays, about 300 songs, and “voiced” dozens of songs famous films and performances on stages the best theaters countries.
(performing Kim's song)
17 READER: unofficial historiographers of art song (there are no official ones yet) often divide bards into generations. And yet, the 50-60 years gave the author's song more names and songs than all subsequent years. This is natural: the first (and the second) had no one to imitate; in fact, they themselves laid the foundations of the genre.
These were their own songs that any listener could “subscribe” to. They had real life, real feelings, not fictitious conflicts and situations.

I look at Moscow through the prism of poetry,
Through the prism of music, the prism of love.
It’s useless to look at Moscow just like that,
You just won't see anything.

This is one of the most famous songs, it was written by Moscow University students Gennady Ivanov and Yuri Kolesnikov. (performance)
18 READER: and students of the same university Sergei Krylov and Sergei Nikitin are the authors of the song “Little Trumpeter”, no less popular in those years:

There is war all around. And this little one
All the doctors laughed at him.
Where is such a small one good?
Well, maybe only trumpeters?

Young Vadim Egorov fascinated with his songs and poems:
Scattered blue peas of stars (recording)
Irina Levinzon’s guitar sighed:

Autumn, she won't ask
Autumn, it will come.
Autumn, she is a question
The blue eyes will freeze.
Autumn will rain,
It will be swept away by showers...
Along empty beaches
He will wander slowly.

19 READER: THE 60S BROUGHT TO THE GENRE A WAVE OF AUTHORS WHO DIDN’T WRITE POEMS BUT USED OTHERS’ SONGS. MOSTLY THESE WERE LITTLE-KNOWN POEMS OF VERY FAMOUS POETS: Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Joseph Brodsky: some of the poems of these authors, which became songs, awakened many people’s interest in poetry in general. To the good poetry of real poets. But - which again relates to the phenomenon of art songs - at the same time, the songs of bard poets were no less popular, even though they were losing professionally. Apparently, the same sincerity, openness and vulnerability of the soul helped out.
(performance of “I Like:”)
20 READER: Vladimir Vysotsky wrote about the author’s song:
“The author's song - here there is no deception, here one person with a guitar will stand in front of you all evening, eye to eye: And the calculation in the author's song is only on one thing - that you are worried, just like me, about human destinies , the same thoughts. And just like me, injustice and human grief tear at your soul and scratch your nerves: In short, everything is designed for trust. This is what you need for an original song: your eyes, ears and my desire to tell you something, and your desire to hear.”
21 HOST: our evening ends: Someone liked it. For some, not so much. But the original song, no matter what, will live on. The guitar again does not want to be silent, and the friends around are gone.
(performing the song “It’s great that we are all gathered here today”)
