M Glinka – N. Kukolnik “Farewell to St. Petersburg”
"Farewell to Petersburg", a cycle of 12 romances created by Glinka in 1840. ... “I wanted to leave St. Petersburg (...) I was not exactly sick, not exactly healthy: my heart was heavy with grief, and gloomy, vague thoughts involuntarily crowded into my mind...” In these romances you can hear not only “dark thoughts”, but also tender, lyrical motives. Light sadness sounds in the romance “Lark” - one of the most sincere and touching works of Russian musical classics. Its natural, melodious melody involuntarily captivates with its impeccable “vocality” - you want to sing it!

Slide 10

Nestor Kukolnik
Mikhail Glinka
romance "Lark"
The romance “Lark” is a sincere and thoughtful song, with an easily flowing, smooth melody, natural and simple, tinged with light sadness. The piano part expressively recreates the flat Russian landscape - its endless distances, fields and meadows with stems of grass and cereals creeping in the wind. Before the singer enters, the trills of a lark are heard, accompanied by the song. The romance contains two musical lines: the thematic - the song of the lark and the lyrical feelings of the hero. In the first, you can hear the authentic, natural trills of a lark, “which, in a mad rapture of the feeling of being, now rushes upward like an arrow, now falls from the sky, now fluttering its wings, without moving from its place, as if bathing and drowning in the blue ether” (V.G. Belinsky).

Slide 11

It is the song of the lark that encourages the lyrical hero to actively express feelings for his beloved. The vocal part expresses not just a touching state, but the eternal longing of the human heart for faithful and tender love, timid hope for true feeling. A beautiful melodious melody flows in a “non-originating stream” against the backdrop of transparent accompaniment, in which soaring octave leaps convey a feeling of airiness, a state “between heaven and earth.”

Presentation on the topic: Glinka Mikhail Ivanovich Presented by: Teacher of the preschool educational institution “Kindergarten No. 207” Gusarova Angela Valentinova

Childhood of Mikhail Ivanovich Mikhail Ivanovich was born in 1804, on his father’s estate, in the village of Novospasskoye, in the Smolensk province. He had prominent ancestors. For example, the composer’s great-grandfather was a Polish nobleman, Victorin Vladislavovich Glinka, from whom his grandson inherited family history and a coat of arms. When the Smolensk region came under Russian rule as a result of the war, Glinka changed his citizenship and became a Russian Orthodox. He was able to maintain his power thanks to the power of the church.

Glinka Jr. was raised by his grandmother, Fekla Alexandrovna. The mother practically did not participate in raising her son. So Mikhail Ivanovich grew up to be such a nervous, touchy person. He himself remembers these times as if he were growing up in a kind of “mimosa.” After the death of his grandmother, he came under the wing of his mother, who put a lot of effort into completely re-educating her beloved son. The little boy learned to play the violin and piano from about the age of ten. Fekla Alexandrovna, the composer's grandmother.

Already at an early age, little Misha reacted sensitively to folk fun and songs. Folklore made a great impression on the boy, which he cherished throughout his life. These impressions and experiences will subsequently be reflected in the work of the great Russian composer.

Life and work Initially, Glinka was taught music by a governess. Later, his parents sent him to a noble boarding school in St. Petersburg. There he met Pushkin. He came there to visit his younger brother, Mikhail’s classmate.

1822-1835 In 1822, the young man completed his studies at the boarding school, but did not give up his music studies. He continues to play music in noble salons, and also sometimes leads his uncle's orchestra. Around this time, Glinka became a composer: he wrote a lot, while intensively experimenting in a variety of genres. At the same time, he wrote some songs and romances that are well known today. Among such songs are “Don’t tempt me unnecessarily”, “Don’t sing, beauty, in front of me”. At the end of April 1830, the young man moved to Italy. At the same time, he makes a long trip around Germany, which stretches throughout the summer months. At this time he tried his hand at the genre of Italian opera.

1836-1844 Around 1836, he completed work on the opera “A Life for the Tsar.” But it was much more difficult to install it. The fact is that the director of the imperial theaters prevented this. But he gave the opera to Katerino Cavos for judgment, and he left the most flattering review about it. The opera was received with extraordinary enthusiasm. As a result, Glinka wrote the following lines to his mother: “Yesterday evening my desires finally came true, and my long labor was crowned with the most brilliant success. The public received my opera with extraordinary enthusiasm, the actors went wild with zeal... the Emperor... thanked me and talked with me for a long time..."

After the opera, Glinka was appointed conductor of the Court Singing Chapel. He subsequently led it for two years. Exactly six years after the premiere of Ivan Susanin, Glinka presented Ruslan and Lyudmila to the public. He began work on it during the poet’s lifetime, but he managed to finish it only with the help of minor poets.

1844-1857 The new opera experienced great criticism. Glinka was very upset by this fact, and decided to go on a long trip abroad. Now he decided to go to France, and then to Spain, where he continues to work. So he traveled until the summer of 1947. At this time he is working on the genre of symphonic music. He traveled for a long time, lived for two years in Paris, where he took a break from constant travel on stagecoaches and by rail. From time to time he returns to Russia. But in 1856 he left for Berlin, where he died on February 15.

5 of the most famous works of Mikhail Glinka Ivan Susanin (1836) Opera by Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka in 4 acts with an epilogue. The opera tells about the events of 1612 associated with the campaign of the Polish gentry against Moscow. Dedicated to the feat of the peasant Ivan Susanin, who led an enemy detachment into an impenetrable thicket and died there. It is known that the Poles went to Kostroma to kill 16-year-old Mikhail Romanov, who did not yet know that he would become king. Ivan Susanin volunteered to show them the way. The Patriotic War of 1812 aroused people's interest in their history, and stories on Russian historical themes are becoming popular. Glinka composed his opera twenty years after Katerino Cavos's opera on the same theme. At some point, both versions of the popular plot were staged simultaneously on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. And some performers took part in both operas.

Ruslan and Lyudmila (1843) Opera by Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka in 5 acts. The composer wrote it based on the poem of the same name by Alexander Pushkin, preserving the original verses. The opera was greeted coolly, but this was not Glinka’s fault. The public was not ready for the composer's innovation and departure from the traditional Italian and French opera schools. The first acquaintance with Glinka’s masterpiece took the audience by surprise. “The music of old magic operas only illustrated the change of situations - here it acquired independent meaning.”

Kamarinskaya (1848) Kamarinskaya is a Russian folk dance melody that gained wide popularity in Glinka’s overture of the same name. In it, the composer imitates Russian folk singing with echoes, when the work begins in one voice, and as it develops, new voices are added. According to local historian Pyasetsky, the Russian folk song "Komarinskaya" ("Kamarinskaya") remained "a monument to the betrayal of the residents of the Komaritsky volost to Boris not only as a sovereign, but also as their landowner-master." Another version speaks of Kamarinskaya as a song of joy for people who escaped from Tatar captivity.

Waltz Fantasy (1839 - for piano, 1856 - extended version for symphony orchestra) As in the Polish dances from the opera "A Life for the Tsar", Glinka follows the path of waltz symphonization - a technique used by another great composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Waltz Fantasy is one of Glinka's most significant, famous and frequently performed works.

"Pathétique Trio" in d minor for clarinet, bassoon and piano (1832) The Pathétique Trio was the twenty-eight-year-old composer's last turn to chamber music. For the rest of his life, Glinka wrote piano, stage, orchestral, vocal and choral works. At that time, Glinka was traveling around Italy, improving his health. Of course, he was influenced by Italian composers. Soon after the completion of the trio, its world premiere took place in Milan. Its first performers were the musicians of the La Scala theater orchestra, clarinetist Pietro Tassistro, bassoonist Antonio Cantu and Glinka himself, who performed the piano part. Glinka later edited the trio for violin, cello and piano.

Wilhelm Karlovich

Kuchelbecker

Since 1817, Mikhail Glinka has been studying at the Noble boarding school in St. Petersburg.

His tutor and teacher of Russian literature was Wilhelm Karlovich Kuchelbecker - a friend of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, thanks to this they met.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin

In 1822, Glinka entered the service of the Department of Railways, but soon resigned. The service took him away from his favorite music activities and interfered with his creativity.

Later he would compose “A Passing Song” to the words of N. Kukolnik on the occasion of the opening of the first railway between St. Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo.

"A Passing Song"

words by Nestor Kukolnik

In 1830, Mikhail Glinka went on a journey, seeking to improve in art.

The romance “Venice Night” is a true barcarolle, created under the Russian composer’s impression of southern nature, the gentle sea and the “sweet melodies” of Italy.

The romance was written based on the poems of the wonderful poet Ivan Kozlov, whose work he spoke with enthusiasm about

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

Romance

"Venice Night"

words by Ivan Kozlov

Returning to Russia in 1834, Glinka enthusiastically began composing an opera about the patriotic feat of Ivan Susanin.

In his work, the composer glorified the heroic feat of a simple Russian peasant who sacrificed his life in the name of the Motherland.

The opera was performed with great success on November 27, 1836 on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in St. Petersburg. Leading people of Russian society highly appreciated her.

Chorus “Glory” from the opera “Ivan Susanin”

In 1839, Glinka met Ekaterina Kern, daughter of Anna Petrovna Kern, whose name is consecrated in the poem

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

He expressed the feelings that worried the composer in two works dedicated to Catherine Kern. The first of them was the captivatingly elegant “Waltz - Fantasy” filled with tender love and the marvelous romance based on Pushkin’s poems “I Remember a Wonderful Moment”.

Romance "I remember"

wonderful moment"

poems by A.S. Pushkin

In 1842, the premiere of the opera “Ruslan and Lyudmila” based on Pushkin’s poem took place. This is a fabulous epic opera about the love of Ruslan and Lyudmila and the treachery of the wizard Chernomor.

The opera received sincere approval from progressive musical circles.

Final chorus “Glory to the Great Gods” from the opera “Ruslan and Lyudmila”

In recent years, Glinka lived alternately in St. Petersburg, then in Warsaw, Paris and Berlin. The composer was full of creative plans, but the atmosphere of hostility and ill will interfered with creativity. He burned several of the scores he had begun.

A close, devoted friend in the last years of the composer’s life was his beloved younger sister Lyudmila Ivanovna Shestakova. For her little daughter Olya, Glinka composed some of his piano pieces. Poets, writers, actors and singers, advanced young musicians gathered in the composer's house.

L.I.Shestakova and M.I.Glinka

Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka died in 1857 in Berlin. His ashes were transported to St. Petersburg and buried in the cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.

Glinka’s work is evidence of the powerful rise of national culture. Like Pushkin in literature, Glinka in music became the founder of a new historical period that determined the development path and global significance of Russian national culture.
