And echelon interchanges. Yandybaev

They wander from west to east ... Pimenova

And this is me at the station

In your dirty earflap,

Where the asterisk is not authorized,

And cut out of a can. Leukhin

Skinny, funny and playful.

4.Historical background (History teacher)

5.V.O.v in the poems of Russian poets (literature teacher)

Despite the fact that, it would seem, there is no time for art in the war, without it, a person could not live either at the front or in the rear, and poetry was the most popular genre.

Already on the third day of the war, a song was created that became a symbol of the unity of the people in the fight against the enemy - "Holy War", which became a symbol of the unity of the people in the fight against the enemy. Poems were written by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. (Listening to the 2nd verse of the song)

^ History teacher:

Why is war called "holy"? (This is a war for a just cause, for their homeland, not offensive, but defensive. Such a war - for the freedom of the motherland, against the invaders - is justified. It is popular, because it unites the aspirations of the whole people, it is "sacred" - because the defense of the Fatherland, its families are the sacred duty of every person.)

^ 6. Reading analysis of poems.

1. Student's message about K. Simonov.

From the first days of the Great Patriotic War, Konstantin Simonov was at the front. He is a war correspondent for the Izvestia and Krasnaya Zvezda newspapers. During the war years, Simonov was one of the most famous poets in our country.

The poem "Wait for me", dedicated to the actress Valentina Serova, soon set to music, receives new life in the form of the most popular song, which was sung both in the rear and at the front. The theme of love becomes one of the leading in the poet's work. In the poem “Wait for me”, love and loyalty strengthened the soldier’s courage, his stamina and will to win.

Camille Saint-Saens. Symphonic poem "Dance of Death" op.40

10.08.2011

Orchestra composition: 2 flutes, piccolo flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, xylophone, timpani, cymbals, triangle, bass drum, harp, solo violin, strings.

History of creation

Saint-Saëns turned to the genre of the symphonic poem a decade and a half after Liszt. The French composer became interested in Liszt's poems even in his youth: "They showed me the path, following which I was destined to later acquire the" Dance of Death "," Omphala's Spinning Wheel "and other works." The four symphonic poems of Saint-Saens (1871-1876) differ significantly from Liszt's, continuing the tradition of French program symphonism founded by Berlioz: "It was Berlioz who shaped my generation and, I dare say, it was well formed," Saint-Saens asserted.

The differences between Saint-Saens and Liszt are especially clearly revealed when referring to the common program prototype - the "dance of death" common in the Middle Ages. Liszt finds philosophical depth and tragedy in them, inspired by an old Italian fresco in a concert paraphrase on the theme of Dies irae (Last Judgment) for piano and orchestra. Saint-Saens in a symphonic poem with a solo violin embodies the same plot, not without a sarcastic grin, following the French poetry of his day.

In 1873, the composer's attention was drawn to a poem by the poet and physician Henri Casalis (1840-1909), who wrote under the pseudonym Jean Lagor. It bore the ironic title "Equality, Brotherhood" and described the dance of skeletons at midnight in winter to the sound of the violin of Death. On this text, the composer composed a romance, and a year later used his music for a symphonic poem called "Dance of Death".

The lines of Casalis's poem are prefaced to the score as a program:

Zipper, hedgehog, hedgehog, Death with a heel
Beats the beat on the gravestone,
At midnight, Death sings a dance,
Whack, whack, whack, plays the violin.

The winter wind blows, the night is dark,
Lindens creak and plaintively moan,
Skeletons, whitening, emerge from the shadows,
They rush and jump in long shrouds.

Zipper, hedgehog, hedgehog, everyone is fussing,
The sound of the bones of the dancers is heard.
...................
...................
But ts-s! suddenly everyone leaves the round dance,
They run, pushing, - the rooster crowed.
..................
..................

The poem is dedicated to Caroline Montigny-Remory, whom Saint-Saens called "his dear sister in art."

She was a gifted pianist and often played music together with the composer. Letters from Saint-Saëns to Caroline have survived, spanning some four decades, beginning in 1875.

The premiere of "Dance of Death" took place on January 24, 1875 in Paris, at the Column Concerts, and was a great success - the poem was repeated at the request of the public. However, 20 months later, in the same Paris, she was booed.

M.P. Mussorgsky

The opinions of the members of the Mighty Handful turned out to be just as different after the tour of Saint-Saens in November-December 1875 in Russia, where he himself conducted the Dance of Death.

V. V. Stasov

Mussorgsky and Stasov strongly preferred Liszt's work of the same name, and Saint-Saens's poem was characterized as follows: "A chamber miniature in which the composer reveals tiny thoughts inspired by a tiny versifier" (Mussorgsky); "an orchestral piece, although embellished with a graceful and piquant instrumentation in modern style, but candy, small, most likely "salon", one might say - helicopter, frivolous "(Stasov).

N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov

Rimsky-Korsakov and Cui argued with them. The first sincerely admired the poem, the second called it "charming, elegant, musical, highly talented."

I.E. Repin Portrait of Ts.A. Cui

Comparing the two Dances of Death, Cui wrote: “Liszt treated his theme with extreme seriousness, depth, mysticism, and the unshakable blind faith of the Middle Ages. M. Saint-Saëns, like a Frenchman, looked at the same problem lightly, playfully, semi-comically, with nineteenth-century skepticism and denial.

And Liszt himself highly appreciated Saint-Saens' Dance of Death, especially the "wonderful brilliance" of the score, and made a piano transcription of it, which he sent to Saint-Saens in 1876.

In those years, the Dance of Death orchestra struck with its unusualness.

The composer introduced a xylophone into it, designed to convey the sound of the bones of dancing skeletons (four and a half decades earlier, Berlioz, in the finale of the Fantastic Symphony, first used the technique of playing violins and violas with a bow shaft to create a similar effect). The French edition of the score explains that "a xylophone is an instrument made of wood and straw, similar to a glass harmonica", and you can find it at the publishers', on the same Place Madeleine in Paris.

The solo violin is also a member of the orchestra, on which Death plays his devilish dance, at the tempo of a waltz (possibly inspired by Liszt's Mephisto-Waltz), according to the author's instructions. The violin is tuned unusually: the two upper strings form an interval not of a pure fifth, but of a tritone, which was not accidentally called “diabolus in musica” (the devil in music) in the Middle Ages.

Music

The poem is framed by an introduction and conclusion with inventive sound effects. The harp against the background of the sustained sound of the horn and the chord of the violins with 12 beats, imitating the bells, heralds midnight. Cellos and pizzicato double basses quietly beat out the rhythm. There are sharp sounds like a tuned solo violin. The waltz begins. The sonority gradually grows, new instruments enter, there is a dialogue between the solo violin and the xylophone, doubled by woodwinds. Then the round dance of the dead is drawn in scherzo fugato, as Liszt liked to do when incarnating the Mephistopheles images. The theme sounds passionately, enticingly in the central major episode, where again the violin comes to the fore to the accompaniment of the harp. In the subsequent development, one can also hear an ominous knock - perhaps Death, beating his heel on the gravestone (solo timpani), and the howling of the wind (chromatic passages of wooden ones), but the rhythm of the waltz is obsessively, stubbornly preserved. The revelry of diabolical forces ends at a noisy climax. The oboe in complete silence imitates the cry of a rooster. For the last time, the devilish violin enters, and the echoes of the dance dissipate and fade into a barely audible sound of strings against the background of a flute buzzing in a low register.

“It’s hard to get rid of the poignantly uncomfortable feeling when listening to this music, in which there are so few emotions calculated and so frighteningly bared mockingly bleak visions of non-existence ...”, sums up the Soviet researcher of Saint-Saens’ creativity Yu. Kremlev.
