M. Glinka “Ruslan and Lyudmila”
Inserting a picture
M. Glinka set to music the immortal creation of A. Pushkin “Ruslan and Lyudmila”. Here Bayan sings his epics, Ruslan performs a dramatic aria, entering the battlefield. And the Head of the hero - brother Chernomor, is voiced by the choir male voices. Moreover, the artists have to be right in the fake head so that the sound seems dull, coming from somewhere inside. The choir of the Magic Maidens Naina sounds bewitchingly, seducing Ratmir. M. Glinka created the magnificent “Scene of the abduction of Lyudmila by Chernomor.” After the menacing-sounding theme of the “evil Karla,” the orchestra runs through a chain of quiet sonorities, which the musicians called “chords of numbness.” This is how Glinka showed the amazement of the people feasting at the wedding after seeing a miracle. They froze in bewilderment and did not immediately understand what had happened.
In the early seventies, Rimsky-Korsakov met fairy tale by A. N. Ostrovsky "The Snow Maiden"(1873). She didn't make much of an impression on him then. “In the winter of 1879-1880,” the composer recalled, “I read “The Snow Maiden” again and clearly saw its amazing poetic beauty... There was no better plot for me in the world, there were no better ones for me poetic images than Snegurochka, Lel or Spring." The opera was composed in the summer of 1880 in a remote Russian village. The composer later said that not a single work was given to him with such ease and speed as "Snegurochka". In 1881, the opera was completed. Premiere, held on January 29 (February 10) next year on stage Mariinsky Theater, was a great success.
Opera “The Golden Cockerel” by N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov
Opera (tale in persons) in three acts by N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov to a libretto by V.I. Belsky, based on the poetic “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel” by A.S. Pushkin, which he, in turn, heard from his nanny Arina Rodionovna. "The Golden Cockerel" is the last (of fifteen) opera by N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov. The first musical sketches for it appeared in notebooks composer in October 1906. In August of the following year - 1907 - the score of the opera was completed. Last year Throughout his life, the composer fought against the censorship ban on its production. Two days before his death, he wrote to his publisher B.P. Jurgenson: “As for The Golden Cockerel, the situation is not going well. The Moscow Governor-General is against the production of this opera and reported this to the censorship, and therefore I think that in St. Petersburg they will be against it too” (dated June 6, 1908). And yet, after the composer’s death, the premiere of “Cockerel” took place. On September 14, 1909 in Moscow, at the S.I. Zimin Theater, the opera was warmly received by the public.
Opera "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov
The origins of the concept of the opera Pushkin's "The Tale of Tsar Saltan"(1831) are not precisely established. There is reason to believe that this idea was suggested to Rimsky-Korsakov by V.V. Stasov. Development of the script began in the winter of 1898-1899. It was planned to finish the opera by the centenary of Pushkin’s birth (in 1899). In the spring of 1899, the composer began composing music. By the fall the opera was written, and in January of the following year work on the score was completed. The premiere of "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" took place on October 21 (November 2), 1900 on the stage of the Moscow private opera - the Solodovnikovsky Theater Partnership. "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" is one of the sunniest works of opera literature. Her music, illuminated by cloudless joy and gentle humor, flows easily and naturally. It recreates naive simplicity and freshness folk art. The music is full of melodic turns and intricate rhythms folk songs and dancing.

A. Lyadov “Kikimora”
Inserting a picture
A. Lyadov- Russian composer of the 19th century. - author symphonic picture with the fancy name "Kikimora". Summary The work is as follows: far in the mountains, in a crystal cradle, Cat-Bayun rocks a small fantastic creature - Kikimora. The Cat's melody resembles a lullaby, and the "heroine" theme sounds in sharp, short phrases from the flute. Kikimora will grow up and start doing all sorts of little dirty tricks on people.
Song "Sleeping Princess" A.P. Borodin
Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov - composer-storyteller : most creativity written in fairy tale plot- operas “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”, “The Snow Maiden”, “Sadko”, “Kashchei the Immortal”, “The Golden Cockerel”, “May Night”, etc. - which reflected Rimsky-Korsakov’s deep passion for national fairy tales and pagan mythology.
There was a great storyteller consummate master musical landscape. The pictures of the sea elements created by him are especially diverse - sometimes serenely calm, sometimes slightly agitated, and sometimes even menacing and ferocious. And this is not surprising: from the very early childhood Nika (that was his family's name) was captivated by the sea, without even seeing it.
Remember the symphonic introduction to the opera "Sadko" - "Blue Ocean-Sea"
Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov was born on March 6 (18), 1844 in the city of Tikhvin. Musical ability boy appeared early, but, according to family tradition, at the age of twelve he was assigned to the Naval Corps in St. Petersburg. After graduating from the Naval Cadet Corps with the rank of midshipman (junior) naval officer) he committed a three-year sentence trip around the world. The sea voyage introduced Rimsky-Korsakov to the seas and oceans of different latitudes. In letters to his parents, he now enthusiastically describes the beauty seascape. With the keen eye of an artist, he absorbed all the shades, all the changes of the sea elements that surrounded him. And having become a composer, throughout his life he depicted it in orchestral colors.
In 1861, an acquaintance took place and close creative ties began with the circle of M. A. Balakirev (“ A mighty bunch"), which included Ts. A. Cui, M. P. Mussorgsky, and a little later - A. P. Borodin.
Rimsky-Korsakov’s communication with Balakirev’s circle was temporarily interrupted by his circumnavigation of the world, which served as a source of various impressions that left an imprint on his work.
Valentin Serov. Portrait of the composer N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov
In 1871, Rimsky-Korsakov was invited to become a professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory and held this position for almost four decades.
Now the St. Petersburg Conservatory bears the name of N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov.
On the left near the Conservatory building - on Theater Square- there is a monument to Rimsky-Korsakov.
Another memorable place in St. Petersburg is the museum-apartment of N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov on Zagorodny Prospekt. The Rimsky-Korsakov Museum was opened in the second half of the 20th century on the initiative of his descendants.
The composer's apartment was rebuilt and divided into two large rooms. In one of them there was an exhibition consisting of Rimsky-Korsakov's music manuscripts and various documents through which one can trace the history of his life and work. And in the second it is currently working concert hall, where again, like a hundred years ago, “Korsakov Wednesdays” are held with a performance modern musicians, opera singers and pop performers.
Almost everyone visited Rimsky-Korsakov famous composers and musicians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: S.V. Rachmaninov, A.N. Scriabin, A.K. Glazunov, I.F. Stravinsky, as well as artists V.A. Serov and I.E. Repin, singer F.I. Chaliapin and other artists. Rimsky-Korsakov loved to arrange houses musical evenings with songs and playing on an old Becker piano. Typically, such meetings of composers and singers took place once a week, on Wednesdays, and eventually they began to be called “Korsakov Wednesdays.”
