Yes, all significant events of human life - be it the birth of a child, the change of season, the beginning and end of agricultural work, or marriage - were accompanied by rituals.
III. Learning new material
(slide 7)
Today we will talk about one of the most beautiful rituals - an ancient Russian wedding (including one included in the opera genre).
A little from the history of wedding ceremonies in Rus'.
In Russian villages, a wedding was the main solemn ceremony. The decision to get married was made not by the young people themselves, but by their parents. Children's opinions were almost never taken into account. Hence the saying “If you endure it, you fall in love.”
(slide 8,9)
So, an ancient Russian wedding was a complex chain of solemn ceremonies.
The “Wedding Game” took place as a theatrical performance that lasted several days, and sometimes several weeks. The characters in the wedding game were the matchmaker, the matchmaker, the groom's friend, and the bride's girlfriends. The central character was the bride. The wedding game was divided into two parts.
The first part was dedicated to the girl’s farewell to her family and was played in the bride’s house. In the old days, marriage meant the end of a girl’s free life and her transfer to someone else’s family. Therefore, the bride's songs were dramatic and were called lamentations, lamentations, and lamentations. From the moment of betrothal until departure for the wedding, the bride had to cry and lament. And the bride cried and wailed in order to show love and respect for her parents, gratitude for the fact that they “gave them water and fed them.” Otherwise, they could have complained about the ingratitude of their daughter, who left her father’s house without regret. So she said goodbye to her will, family of origin
(slide 10,11)
Comparisons addressed to nature give special beauty to folk wedding songs: a girl is compared to a river, a swan, a duck, a berry; guy, good fellow - with a clear falcon. Listening to the Russian folk song “A duck was swimming at sea.”
Just as a river flows and does not sway, so a girl-bride sits and does not smile; just as a duck grieves, parting with the onset of cold winter from the blue sea on which it swam freely, so a girl on the morning of her wedding day cries bitterly at the thought of the impending separation from her parents.
The confusion and anxiety experienced by the bride-girl while waiting for the wedding train can be heard in different versions of the song “Mother, Mother, it’s dusty in the field...” which we are now let's listen performed by L. Zykina, and the works of great Russian artists will help you create a more complete image of the song and everything that happens in it.
(slide 12)
-
What impression did the song make on you?
-In the song, mother and daughter seem to be talking
-Those. the song is built in the form of a dialogue
- What can we say about the melodic pattern?
- In the theme of the mother, one can hear the experience, a call for humility, resignation to a hopeless situation
- The theme of the daughter sounds anxiety, drama
-What did you see in the pictures?
-What emotions do the heroines of these paintings experience?
- Are these emotions similar to the emotions of the heroine of the song “Mother...”?
Each of you has the lyrics of the song on your desk. Let's learn it (song performance ).
Well done! We continue to work on the topic.
(slide 13)
The second part of the wedding is a traditional feast, which began in the house of the groom's parents after the wedding ceremony. The wedding celebration was accompanied by the singing of majestic songs glorifying the bride and groom, comic and dance songs, as well as dancing and horse riding.
Composers often turned to songs of colorful wedding rites in their operas.
(slide 14)
The wedding game and its characters are vividly presented in the opera “Rusalka” by the Russian composer, our fellow countryman A.S. Dargomyzhsky.
-What do we know about the composer?
- A.S. Dargomyzhsky was born in the village of Troitskoye, Belevsky district, Tula province.
- I was very interested in studying Russian musical folklore.
- A.S. Dargomyzhsky invited peasants to his estate and loved to listen and watch their songs, dances, games, and round dances.
Nurturing the idea of the opera “Rusalka”, the composer carefully studied everything significant that was in the literature of that time - examples of oral folk poetry, descriptions of folk life, rituals. And especially Russian folk songs. It is not surprising that Russian folk song occupies a large place in all of his work.
At the center of the opera are two peasant characters: the Miller and his daughter Natasha. This prompted the composer to fill all the scenes with folk song elements. Some songs are truly folk, some were written by Dargomyzhsky himself.
In the second act of the opera, a picture of a princely wedding is shown. A large place is devoted to choirs.
(slide 15)
The action begins with the chorus “As in the upper room, the bright room.” Its content is the glorification of the Prince and Princess. The choir is based on an original theme in the style of Russian folk ritual and praise songs. The wedding choir is a wonderful example of festive and solemn Russian music. Hearing.
(slide 16)
The three-voice female choir “Svatushka” especially stands out. In it, the composer very colorfully conveyed the comic-everyday scene of a wedding ceremony. According to folk custom, the girls surround the matchmaker and demand gifts from him. The girls sing a song in which they ridicule the unlucky matchmaker. The choir “Svatushka” is of a comic nature.
Matchmaker, matchmaker, stupid matchmaker;
We were on our way to pick up the bride, we stopped in the garden,
They spilled a barrel of beer and watered all the cabbage. Hearing. Analysis.
-Genre of the work?
-Comic wedding song. The choir “Svatushka” is close to folk songs, because chants are found here.
Musical form?
-The form of the work is two-part verse, the 2nd part is two verses, between which there is a bridge.
Does the accompaniment play a major or supporting role?
-Auxiliary. It emphasizes the liveliness of the scene, the girls' jokes, and the matchmaker's clumsiness.
The accompaniment includes a figurative moment. In the bridge between the verses, the accompaniment resembles the playing of a pipe that accompanies folk festivals.
What can we say about diction?
-The chorus “Svatushka” has a light, playful character; to emphasize this, clear diction is needed.
Tell me, are wedding choirs from the opera recreating a folk ceremony?
-Yes.

What is ritual folklore? First of all, this is folk art, collective or individual, oral, less often written. The folklore style of communication between people usually did not involve emotions. It expressed thoughts and desires associated with certain events and timed to coincide with them. Therefore, rituals mainly consist of songs, lamentations, family stories, lullabies, and wedding praises. Occasional conspiracies, spells and invocations, counting rhymes and slander are considered a separate category.
What is ritual folklore in a broader sense?
These are works of art of small form, associated with traditions, customs, religious and ethnographic genres. It should be noted that in all cases the rituals bear signs of a folk character. At the same time, modernity seems to be blurred. Ancient traditions and customs fit best into the past tense.
The range of folklore rituals is quite wide. This is village choreography, choral singing in nature, during field work, haymaking or grazing. Since traditional customs were constantly present in the lives of ordinary people, the ritual folklore of the Russian people was and remains an integral part of their existence. The emergence of customs is always associated with long-term circumstances. An ongoing drought that threatens the harvest can become a reason for people to turn to God asking for help. Any natural phenomena that are dangerous to a person also force him to look for a way out of the current situation. And most often these are prayers and requests, candles and notes in churches.
Many rituals and ritual folklore in general have ritual and magical significance. They form the basis of behavioral norms in society, and sometimes even acquire features of national character. This fact testifies to the depth of folklore values, which means
Folklore rituals are divided into labor, holiday, family and love rituals. Russians are closely intertwined with the folklore of other Slavic peoples. And besides, they are often typologically connected with the population of some countries located on the other side of the world. The relationship between seemingly different cultures is often determined by a historical analogy.
Ivan Kupala holiday
Ritual folklore in Russia has always been self-sufficient and did not need external support. The originality of Russian traditions and customs not only passed from generation to generation, but also grew with new rituals, often exotic. The most notable folk ritual is this ritual. This ritual has pagan roots. On the night of Ivan Kupala, high bonfires were lit, and each of those present had to jump over the fire. This was not always possible; there was a danger of falling and getting burned.
At night on Ivan Kupala, it was customary to commit ritual outrages, steal livestock from neighbors, destroy beehives, trample vegetable gardens and firmly prop up the doors of huts with sticks so that residents could not leave. The motives for all these actions are still unclear. The next day, the outrageous fellow villagers again became balanced citizens.
Song ritual
Poetry occupies a significant place in Russian ritual folklore, which can be roughly divided into song poetry (spells, corilations, valiant songs) and magical poetry (love spells, sentences, lamentations).
Songs-spells turned to nature, asked for prosperity in the household and family affairs. The Great Ones sang at Maslenitsa, carols and other celebrations. Corruption chants were of a mocking nature.
Rituals and calendar
Along with others, in Rus' there was ritual folklore of the calendar type, which was directly related to agricultural work in the broadest sense. Calendar-ritual songs are the most ancient folk art, historically developed over many years of peasant labor in the field and in haymaking.
The agricultural calendar, the schedule of field work according to the seasons, is a kind of program of the song genre. All folk melodies, born behind the plow, harrow and while weeding. The words are simple, but this song poetry contained the whole gamut of human experiences, hope for success, anxious expectations, uncertainty, giving way to glee. Nothing unites people more than a common goal for everyone, be it harvesting or choral singing. Social values inevitably take some form. In this case, this is folklore and with it Russian customs.
Folklore by season
The songs of the spring ritual repertoire sounded cheerful. They look like jokes, reckless and daring. The melodies of the summer months seemed deeper, they were sung with a sense of accomplishment, but as if with a hidden expectation of a miracle - a good harvest. In autumn, during harvest time, ritual songs rang like a stretched string. People didn’t relax for a minute, otherwise you wouldn’t have time to pack everything before the rains.
Reason for fun
And when the bins were full, then the folk fun began, ditties, round dances, dances and weddings. The ritual folklore of the calendar phase of intense work smoothly transitioned into festivities and free life with feasts. Young people looked closely at each other, made new acquaintances. And here traditional customs were not forgotten, the ritual folklore of the Russian people “rose to its full height.” In the huts, fortune telling began on the betrothed, the girls spent hours burning candles and swinging rings on thin threads. Shoes and felt boots were thrown over shoulders, whispers were heard in the upper room.
Christmas carols
What is ritual folklore from a religious point of view? The holiday of the Nativity of Christ is considered one of the most traditional in Rus'. It immediately follows the New Year. It is generally accepted that the way you spend this holiday will be the same for the rest of the year. Some people consider Christmas to be the beginning of a new year. This is the main Russian religious event. On January 6, Christmas Eve, caroling began. These are festive walks around houses and apartments with songs and bags full of grain. Children usually go caroling. Everyone wants to receive a pie or a handful of sweets from the owners of the house in response to congratulations on the holiday.
The eldest in the procession of carolers usually carries the “Star of Bethlehem” on a pole, which appeared in the sky when Jesus Christ was born. The owners to whom they came with carols should not skimp on gifts for children, otherwise they will have to listen to the children’s comic reproaches.
The main night of the year
A few days after Christmas, the New Year began (today we call it the Old New Year), which was also accompanied by folklore rituals. People wished each other happiness, long life and every success in business. Congratulations were presented in the form of short carols. Also a folk ritual were “sub-bowl” songs that accompanied fortune-telling after midnight. This is what ritual folklore is on New Year's Eve!
And when winter is over, it’s time to see it off - and people take to the streets to celebrate Maslenitsa. This is the time of cheerful folklore winter rituals with troika riding, creaking sleigh races, and ice skating games with sticks. The fun continues until dark, and late in the evening the whole family sits by the stove and remembers the past holiday. During such gatherings, they sang songs, sang ditties, and played games. This is also ritual family folklore of the Russian people. It includes family stories, wedding songs, lullabies, lamentations, and much more.

How do you understand the word FOLKLORE?Slide number 2.
Folklore ( folklore - “folk wisdom”) - folk art, most often it is oral; artistic collective creative activity of the people, reflecting their life, views, ideals; created and existing among the masses ( , , , , , ), ( , instrumental and plays), ( , , ), , , And .
FOLKLORE is divided into two groups -ritual Andnot ritual . additional click.
Ritual folklore includes:
calendar folklore ( , Maslenitsa songs, spring flowers),
family folklore(family stories, , wedding songs, ),
occasional folklore(songs, incantations performed on occasions important to the life and well-being of the community - for example, drought, livestock pestilence).
Rituals in the Russian village were considered just as necessary a component of life as holidays. All more or less significant events in people's lives - be it the birth of a child, marriage, death, the change of seasons, the beginning and end of agricultural work - were accompanied by the performance of special ritual actions dedicated to this occasion. Moreover, by the religious consciousness of the people of a peasant, traditional society, the ritual was interpreted as an action that actually created an event.
The rituals familiar to us from the materials of the 18th-20th centuries arose in ancient times and embodied ancient beliefs.
Today we will talk about the poeticization of the life and way of life of the Russian people based on one of the rituals -old russian wedding (including included in the opera genre)
From the HISTORY of wedding ceremonies in Rus'.Slide number 3.
Since the emergence of Russian villages, the wedding has been the main, main solemn rite. Any girl or guy looked forward to the day they would get married with trepidation. Although the decision was made not by the young people themselves, but by their parents, brides still spent whole nights wondering about their groom.
In Rus', young people got married at the age of 13-15 years. Anyone who stayed as a bride or groom for up to 20 years caused fear among neighbors and acquaintances. Parents tried to find a suitable match for their child when he was just starting to walk and talk. The opinion of the children themselves was almost never taken into account, since the older generation was more experienced and knowledgeable. This is where the sayings come from: “If you endure it, you will fall in love,” “Don’t drink water from the face,” and many others.
This state of affairs could not help but be reflected in Russian song.
Let's listen to an arrangement of the Russian folk song by Mikhail Matveev “Mother, That the Field is Dusty” performed by Zh. Bichevskaya.Slide number 4.
The song “Mother, Mother, It’s Dusty in the Field” performed by Zh. Bichevskaya is played.
(text on slide). Write down the name.
What mood does this song create? (Very exciting, disturbing...)
Is this song structured in the form of a bride's monologue? (No, there is a dialogue between a girl and her mother.)
Let's look at the melodic pattern in the music test forp.30.
What do you see? (Children's answers, analyze the musical notation and directions.)
The first line is an address to the mother - very quickly, interrogatively, the second and third lines - an address to the daughter - restrained, slowly.
This is the table with the characteristics that I came up with. Look:Slide number 5.
Why do you think the heroine of the song is so worried? (I don’t want to get married without love, separate from my parents...)
Write down: the song is built on dialogue: the daughter’s alarming appeal, and the mother’s calming answers.
And now we will listen to a Russian folk song based on the same verses. Musical text on page 30 – 4th option.
What can you say after listening in comparison with the composer’s song?Slide number 6.
The Russian folk song “Mother, Mother, it’s dusty in the field” sounds.
(Songsounds very restrained, strict, quite broad and singsong, there is no such drama as in Matveev’s song...)
Write down the name of the song. And a description.
Which song is more epic and which is more dramatic? (The composer’s song is dramatic; the folk song has an epic character.)
Slide No. 7 . The song talks about the difficult fate of a woman in an old pre-revolutionary Russian village, when a girl was forced to marry someone other than the one she loved. Without her consent, they were given to the house where a worker was needed, or when it was beneficial for the parents (either a rich (famous) groom or a rich bride was beneficial). The song “Mother...” tells not only about the experiences of her daughter, the bride, but also about the grief of the mother, which she experiences a second time: the first time, when she herself was forcibly married off, and now, when she also gives away her daughter. This song reveals the deepest tragedy of many generations of Russian women of the pre-revolutionary village.
Here is a reproduction of Pavel Andreevich Fedotov"Major's Matchmaking"Many artists and writers have addressed the topic of unequal marriages.
Consider the heroes. Describe them.
Why is a father happy to marry off his daughter?
Why does a nobleman marry a merchant's daughter?
How does the artist emphasize the wealth and luxury of a merchant's house?
Consider the small details in the picture.
What is their role? What do they emphasize and detail?
How does the artist feel about what is happening?
(The groom is a carefree dandy. His face is cruel. His lips are pursed. A heavy, motionless gaze in which one can read evil jealousy, cruelty, and heartlessness.
The bride is soft femininity, grace, the charm of youth.
The maid sympathizes with the young lady, condolences, worries about her fate.
The father is obsequious and readily gives his daughter to an old nobleman major.
The cat invites guests. Wine and glasses on the chair - we didn’t have time to prepare for the meeting of the guest. The bride's jewelry is displayed to show off her wealth. The chair - the legs of the chair arched exactly - exactly like the groom's legs, as if the furniture was mimicking a major who had squandered his fortune.
The artist is ironic and makes fun of the characters).
We see that all the figures are located symmetrically with respect to the center. Find the center of the picture.
Whose figure stands out from the center, from the symmetrical formation?
(The daughter, who rushes to the “saving” doors leading into the depths of the room).
All the characters in the picture are in motion, and the picture seems to come to life, thanks to the natural alternation of elements, which is called in fine art -rhythm.
Slide No. 8 . The painting “Unequal Marriage” is one of the most widespread and famous, which also reflects the feelings that a girl experiences when she is not married for love.
Onp.31 textbook we also see two pictures. Consider them.Slides No. 9-10.
Describe the paintings.
What emotions do the heroines of these paintings experience? (Confusion and anxiety in the 2nd picture, humility in the first picture).
Try to guess and express your thoughts about what is the dialogue of the characters we see in the paintings? (The guys express their guesses.)
Are these experiences similar to the mood of the heroine of the song “Mother...”? (Yes, the sentiments are very similar, especially with the 2nd picture.)
Maybe someone would like to role-play the song? Act as mother and daughter.
(Those who wish sing a song.)
Now let’s read the text of the textbook on pp. 30-31. Reading.
Now open pages 32-33. "Song in a wedding ceremony." Let's read the text on these pages.

Write down the text of a Russian folk song in a notebook and draw an illustration for it.
5: Lesson Summary
Bright wedding episodes, reproduced in many Russian operas, are dramaturgically significant moments in the development of the opera. Opera is not separate numbers, not a concert in costumes, but an artistically recreated drama of life.
At today's lesson we got acquainted with the folk song “Mother...” arranged by Mikhail Matveev, the folk song “The swan floats, floats”, included in the opera “Khovanshchina” by Modest Mussorgsky and the folk-style melody “The spring waters roamed and fell apart in the meadows” by Mikhail Glinka .
— Is there an intonation commonality between these works?
The CONCLUSION should be formulated by students: there is a related attention to the world, an assessment of everything that happens and an expression of attitude towards life.
