CHARACTERISTICS OF DANCE MELODIES AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS OF THE MORDOVIAN PEOPLE

The folk musical art of the Mordovians developed over many centuries in close interaction with the culture of neighboring peoples. In folk poetry, a musician and dancer are depicted as cheerful and cheerful people

The wide popularity of Mordovian musicians and dancers is evidenced by many materials from the folklore of neighboring peoples. In the Russian comic song "Kalinka-Malinka", recorded by AS. Pushkin in 1830, talks about how a girl washed her veil on the Boldino raft and asked her mother to bring a Mordvin with bagpipes for dancing.

In the traditional Mordovian music and dance art, which has organically grown into the modern life of the people, archaic forms have been preserved, going back to the common Finno-Ugric musical culture.

The dance creativity of the Mordovian people is characterized by developed collective and single (solo) performing traditions. According to their genre, traditional dances are divided into round dances, wedding dances, dance dances, non-ritual dances and those borrowed from Russians or neighboring peoples.

Some types of ritual songs, dances and instrumental dance tunes, associated in the past with the ancient animistic cult of sacred trees, revered animals, domestic animals and birds, others were preserved in the new function of non-ritual songs, dances and instrumental tunes.

Dance instrumental music occupies an important place in the musical art of the Mordovian people.

Traditional types Mordovian dance instrumental music is closely related to certain types of musical instruments, systematized based on the vibrator (sound source): idiophones, membranophones, chordophones and aerophones

The source of sound for instruments of the idiophone class is an elastic solid material. They were used primarily for beating the rhythm of dances in an ensemble with other types of traditional instruments, as well as for creating ritual noise as a talisman in many ritual actions.

The Mordovians used all kinds of household items that accompanied the dance as idiophones; buckets, basins, frying pans, stove dampers. In addition, the dance was accompanied by other musical instruments belonging to the idiomatic group - this is the shavoma - an instrument in an ensemble with others was used to beat out the rhythm of the dances. The sounding body of the "shawoma" was smoothly planed l a birch board 25-30 cm wide impregnated with resin and hemp oil. Using a belt, it was hung on the neck or elbow of the performer’s left hand. The sound was produced with special small wooden hammers and wooden spoons. In a number of places, other musical instruments are used solo and in an ensemble to accompany dances: spoons, a scythe, with the help of which the rhythm of a dance tune was beaten out with the blows of a nail or bolt, bells of various sizes, which were hung along with coins and ringing metal plates from a traditional women's costume. At ritual wedding dances, the ringing of bells, coins and metal records formed a kind of polyphony of two opposing dance rhythms, each of which had its own special structure and timbre shade, determined by the sharp sound of the ringing jewelry of women dancing in a circle, as well as the rattle. This tool was a smoothly planed wooden beam of cylindrical shape, 15-20 cm long, 7-8 cm in diameter, with a handle at one edge and teeth cut along the surface, with a wooden or metal bracket attached to the upper edge of the cylinder and its handle.

In membranophones, the sound source is a stretched membrane made of leather or paper. Several instruments of this class are used in the dance and musical life of the Mordovian people:

a) a comb from a spinning machine or a comb for combing hair, on which thin birch bark or tissue paper was placed;

b) leaf of a tree - a green leaf of birch or linden was applied to the lips, supported by two fingers. As a single instrument it is used to imitate bird voices, and in an ensemble with other instruments to accompany dances or dance tunes.

The sound source of chordophones was one or more strings stretched between two fixed boards and set into vibration by plucking or friction. Such instruments that accompany dances or dance actions include the gusli and violin.

The oscillating body of aerophones is a column of air. The Mordovians had different aerophones with interrupters, longitudinal flutes and flutes with an internal slot, natural pipes without devices for changing the pitch of sounds

Such musical instruments that accompanied dance actions include:

a) bobbin - a spool of thread, one end of which is covered with a thin layer of birch bark or a piece of tissue paper. When playing, the closed side is applied to the lips, and the performer produces one sound by blowing.

b) acacia pod, which is half of a split acacia pod.

c) a whistle flute made of willow rod, 30 to 70 cm long, with a wooden or bone whistle bushing inserted into one end of the tube. The instrument was distinguished by rich performing capabilities. Dance tunes were performed on it.

d) a double clarinet made of two reed tubes of the same or different sizes fastened on the sides, with a length of 17 to 20 cm. In the past, ritual dances and instrumental accompaniments to ritual songs at weddings, shepherd’s songs, as well as everyday dance tunes were performed on such a clarinet.

There were two types of bagpipes, differing in the material from which they were made and the number of pipes. The bagpipes were played mainly for dance, ritual and everyday dance tunes.

Starting from the 19th century, in addition to the instruments listed above, accompanying dance and dance actions, harmonics were widely used - Vyatka, Saratov, khromka and Russian two-row.

Instrumental dance tunes among the Mordovians are divided into tunes, compositionally consisting of two parts that are contrasting in nature - a slow introduction (ushotks - “beginning”) and a fast main part (kshtima - “dance”, “dance”), and the melodies are indivisible in the nature of the parts, consisting of one dance or a whole dance action without an introduction.

The rhythm and structure of dance melodies are square and the size is usually even - two or four quarters.

Introduction

The oldest mentions of the Mokshans and Erzyans date back to the era of Herodotus, who mentions them under the names of Androphagi and Tissaget, describing their role in the Scythian-Persian war in 512 BC. uh... Later the Mokshas play a role in history Khazar Khaganate, the principalities of Vladimir-Suzdal and Ryazan, and the Erzyans in the history of Volga Bulgaria and Nizhny Novgorod. According to research by Finnologists based on the study of language, the Mokshans and Erzyans once experienced the cultural influence of the Sarmatians, Khanty, Huns, Germans, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Khazars, and later the Tatars and Slavs who neighbored them at different times. According to archaeological data, during the period of their ancient history the Mokshans inhabited the lands in the upper reaches of the Don River to Moksha and Khopr, and the Erzyans inhabited the Volga and Oka basin; further to the east they settled in later times, mainly retreating before the Russians. Clashes with the Erzyans began among the Russians in 1103, when the news of the attack of the Murom prince Yaroslav Svyatoslavich on the Erzyans was recorded in the chronicle: “...Yaroslav fought with Mordva in the month of March on the 4th day and Yaroslav was defeated.” In the 13th century, the Russians began to overcome the “Purgas Mordovians” (Erzyans), especially after the founding of Nizhny Novgorod.

The campaigns of the Russian princes against the Burtases, the alliance of Alans and Mokshans date back to 1226. In 1226-1232, Yuri Vsevolodovich conducted a number of successful campaigns in the lands of the Burtases. The Tatar invasion significantly weakened the Erzya lands and subjugated them to the Tatar Murzas, the Moksha kingdom became a vassal of the Mongols, and most of the male population as part of Puresh’s army died during the Mongols’ campaign in Central Europe. In 1237, the Erzya land was completely devastated by Batu.

In 1377, the Erzyans, under the command of the Horde prince Arapsha, defeated the Nizhny Novgorod people and the troops of the Moscow prince Dmitry Ivanovich on the Pyana River. This pogrom did not stop Russian colonization, and the subjugation of the Erzyans to the Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan and Moscow princes proceeded gradually starting from the end of the 14th century.

The Temnikov prince Enikeev with his subordinate Mokshans and Meshchera took part in Grozny’s campaign against Kazan. After Ivan IV’s campaigns against Kazan in the 1540s, the Moksha and later Erzya noble families swore allegiance to the Moscow prince. After the conquest of Kazan, part of the Erzyan lands was distributed to the boyars; the rest temporarily became part of the royal Mordovian estates, but were then distributed to monasteries and landowners, mainly with the aim of converting the local population to Christianity. Next to the Russian landowners, the Meshchera and Moksha noble families owned lands, converted to Christianity and retained their title (for example, the princes Bayushevs, Razgildeevs, Enikeevs, Mordvinovs and many others). Submission to Moscow was expressed primarily in the seizure of land and the imposition of heavy taxes on the local non-Russian population, which, apparently, was the reason for the participation of the Mokshans and Erzyans in many riots and uprisings (from the era of the first impostor to Pugachev), as well as the flight to the East. The Erzyans took an active part in the uprising of Stenka Razin, and later, both the Mokshans and the Erzyans - in the uprising of Emelyan Pugachev.

Already in the first half of the 17th century. Mokshans and Erzyans moved beyond the Volga, and in the 18th century. widely distributed throughout the Samara, Ufa and Orenburg provinces. Those who remained in their former places were increasingly subject to Russification, mainly due to forced mass baptism (especially in the first half of the 18th century). The converts did not understand the new religion, and the more zealous pagans tore off their crosses and destroyed icons; then troops were sent against them and the perpetrators were punished and even sentenced to burning for sacrilege. Attempts to resurrect the “old faith,” albeit in a different form, already imbued with Christian concepts, were repeated among the Erzyans in early XIX V. (“Kuzma Alekseev”). Nevertheless, the Mokshans and Erzyans were increasingly exposed to Russification, but beyond the Volga, on new soil, this Russification proceeded more slowly than on the indigenous lands of the Mordovians; Among the Erzyans, schismatic sects “People of God”, “Interlocutors”, “Molokan”, etc. are developed. In the indigenous region of the Mokshans, Russification also made major progress; many villages have lost their former names and cannot be distinguished from Russian ones. Moksha more firmly retains its characteristics in the north of the Penza province, in Krasnoslobodsky, Narovchatsky and Insarsky; but even here, groups of their villages, surrounded by Russians, are increasingly exposed to Russian influence, which is favored by the improvement of communications, the destruction of forests, and waste industries.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the total number of Mokshans and Erzyans numbered more than 1 million people and they lived in the provinces of Ryazan, Voronezh, Tambov, Penza, Nizhny Novgorod, Simbirsk, Kazan, Samara, Saratov, Ufa, Orenburg, Tomsk, Akmola, Yenisei and Turgai. In 1917, their number was estimated at 1,200 thousand people; according to the 1926 census, 237 thousand Mokshans and 297 thousand Erzyans lived in the territory of the Penza, Nizhny Novgorod and Ulyanovsk provinces, which later became part of the Mordovian autonomy, in total in the Volga region and in the Urals there are 391 thousand Mokshans, 795 thousand Erzyans, in the Barnaul district there are 1.4 thousand Mokshans and 1.4 thousand Erzyans, also 5.2 thousand Russified Mokshans and Erzyans called themselves the ethnonym “Mordovians”.

The size of the Mordovian population (Mokshas and Erzyans) by region of the RSFSR in 1926.

In 1937, the total number of Mokshans and Erzyans was 1249 thousand, in 1939 - 1456 thousand, in 1959 - 1285 thousand, in 1979 - 1191.7 thousand people. According to the 1989 microcensus, the number of Mokshans and Erzyans in the USSR was 1153.9 thousand people. (most Mokshans and Erzyans lived in the Soviet Union), of which 1072.9 thousand people lived in the Russian Federation, including 313.4 thousand people living in the Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which accounted for 32.5% of the population of the republic. According to Ethnologue data for 2000, the number of Mokshans was 296.9 thousand people, the number of Erzyans was 517.5 thousand people. Data from the 2002 Russian Population Census give the total number of Mokshans and Erzyans living in Russia, which amounted to 843.4 thousand people, including 283.9 thousand people in Mordovia. (32% of the republic’s population).

Considering these data, I would like to believe that the Erzya and Moksha people, opposing the Russification and change of the Republic, city or country, would always remember their history and would never disappear completely; so that any Erzyan or Moksha citizen, when answering the question of what nationality he is, speaks the truth without shame or regret!

In my course work, I talk about the settlement of the Erzi Mordovians and the Moksha Mordovians on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia, as well as the classification of musical genres and the existence of Russian songs in rural villages.


1. Settlement of Mordovians-Erzi and Mordovians-Moksha on the territory of the Republic of Moldova

The Republic of Mordovia is located in the center of the European part of Russia in the Volga River basin, at the crossroads of the most important routes from the Center to the Urals, to Siberia, the Volga region, Kazakhstan and Central Asia(see map No. 1). The territory of the republic is 26.2 thousand square meters. km. The length from west to east is about 280 km (from 42°12" to 46°43" east longitude) from north to south from 55 to 140 km (from 53°40" to 55°15" north latitude). It borders in the north with Nizhny Novgorod, in the east with Ulyanovsk, in the south with Penza, in the west with Ryazan regions and in the northeast with Chuvashia (see diagram No. 2).

The republic is divided into 22 administrative regions. There are seven cities on its territory: Saransk, Ruzaevka, Kovylkino - republican subordination, Ardatov, Insar, Krasnoslobodsk, Temnikov - regional. The capital of the republic is Saransk (317 thousand people), located 600 km from Moscow. The settlement system in Mordovia was initially dispersed due to the landscape and historical features of the territory. This is due to the inclusion of Russians and Tatars in the traditional area of ​​settlement of the Mordovians (Erzi and Moksha), as well as the active participation of the Mordovians in the economic development of the territory of Russia. The modern spatial framework of settlement is characterized by polarization. More than 45% of the population is concentrated in a 30-kilometer zone around the administrative capital of Mordovia - Saransk.

2. Genre classification of Erzya folk songs

Musical culture is an integral part of every people, which have distinctive features characteristic only of their language group, related to one or another habitat, be it Karelians, Finns, Estonians, Udmurts, Maris, Tatars, Chuvashs, etc. Mordovians - Erzya and Mordovians - Moksha are no exception. Located on the banks of the Moksha, Insar and Sura rivers, Mordovia is rich in many rituals and customs, overflowing with an abundance of national instrumental music. Just like in all other cultures, the songs of the Mordovians - Erzi are divided into genres. Boyarkin N.I. dealt with this issue in Mordovia. In his collection “Monuments of Mordovian native musical art”, volume 3, he presents to our attention the following genre classification of Erzya songs:

1. Sokiqian–viditian morot (songs of plowmen and sowers – calendar songs)

Kolyadan Morot (carols)

Mastyan Morot (Shrovetide)

Tundong Morot (spring songs)

Pizemen seeremat (rain cries)

2. Semiyaso eryamo morot dy avarkshnemat (songs of family life and laments)

Wedding Morot (wedding songs)

Kuloz lomande laishemat (lamentation for the dead)

Wedding laishemat (wedding laments)

Recruitto avarksnemat (cry for recruits)

3. Liyatne morot (other songs)

Lavsen Morot (lullabies)

Tyakan nalksemat morot (children's play songs)

Kuzhon morot (circular songs)

Ease the Morot (long songs)

And now I would like to go through all these genres separately. In the second section, everything is very clearly formulated, and one can quite agree with this interpretation. But in the first section, I think that there are not enough songs of the Christmas house and songs of the harvest; they should also be placed in the genre table as separate items, since these songs are not isolated and are also of great interest to folklorists. As for the third point, many controversial issues arise here. First of all, what are these other songs? Doesn't this group deserve a more accurate name? Well, at least, for example, not timed, as in Russian folklore. Secondly, this group is too small and does not give a complete picture of all the “other” songs. There are a lot of Erzi songs that tell about the difficult life of a woman (about being married off to a baby, about the difficult burden that fell on the shoulders of a daughter-in-law, etc.), about historical events (about the structure of the city of Kazan, about Stepan Razin, etc. .).

Thus, I would like to slightly expand this genre table for a more accurate idea of ​​all types of songs existing on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.

Now I would like to take an even deeper look at one of the subgroups of calendar songs - spring songs. I chose it because here I also have controversial issues.

Among spring songs, professor of Moscow State University. N.P. Ogareva Nikolai Ivanovich Boyarkin, distinguishes: Mastyan morot, Tundon redyamat morot and Pozyarat.

Mastyan Morot (Shrovetide songs) were usually sung by children. They are similar to the chants of tyakan nalksema morot (children's play songs). They were performed by groups in the tradition of heterophony, close to monody.

Example No. 1

With. Old Vechkanovo Isaklinsky district

Kuibyshev region

1. Gimme gimme gimme pachalkse Gimme gimme damn

Give me a piece of pancake Give me a piece of pancake!

2. Chikor – lakor ezem chire Chikor – lakor end of the bench

Chikor - ezem bruske Chikor - bench brusche!

Example No. 2

With. Old Baytermish, Klyavlinsky district

Kuibyshev region

1. Mastian chi, paro chi! Pancake Day, good day!

Saik saik yakshamont! Take it, take it cold!

2. Saik saik yakshamont! Take it, take it cold!

Panic panic yakshamont! Drive away, drive away the cold!

3. Wai’s fur coat is worn out, Wai’s fur coat is worn out,

We'll put on our hat, We'll wear out our hat,

Wow, varginem kalads, Wow, your mittens are worn out,

Let's get busy! Wow, my felt boots are worn out!

In these examples, we see that these are either shouted or patter songs. A poetic stanza usually consists of 2 six-seven-syllable stanzas and is intoned at the ambitus of a second, third, and less often a fourth. In the melostrophe of the 2nd partial form, the parts are either contrasting (AB - example No. 1) or constructed according to a standard formula (AA1A2A3... - example No. 2). The plot of these songs is usually simple. The songs ask for: pancakes, which symbolize the sun, or for Maslenitsa to take away the cold. Since Maslenitsa songs are very similar to children's play songs, they sometimes use words that are not related to each other and words that do not make sense. (example No. 1 verse 2. Chikor - Lakor can be compared with the Russian expression tritatushki tritata, and the words - the end of the bench, the bench, are its complement). This results in a non-meaningful set of words.

The next group of songs is Moro Tundon redyamat (song of spring signs). In terms of melody, these songs are more varied than Mastyan Morot, and they were already sung by the older generation in two, three, or even several voices.

This is a more measured song, sung at a moderate tempo in Dorian h minor. It contains jumps at uv4, ch5. The upper voice here initiates and is the leader, and the lower one performs a supporting function, although it also does not always stand still. The range of the song is not great: within a major sixth. The architecture is unbalanced. There are also characteristic unisons in the middle and at the end of the song. Basically, songs of signs of spring have a question-and-answer form.

And finally, the last subgroup of songs, performed to this day and causing some controversy among folklorists - pozyarki or pozyarama.

In my opinion, it would be wrong to call this group that way (classification by N.I. Boyarkin). It gets its name from a frequently repeated meaningless word, despite the fact that there are songs with the same word related to other times of the year.

Here are some of them:

And the poser is the poser

With. Old Yaksarka, Shemysheysky district, Penza region .

And pozyara pozyara! And pozyara pozyara!

Wheat is behind the threshing floor! Wheat is behind the threshing floor!

Who walks along the edge? -Who will reap her?

Lida walks along the edge. - Lida is reaping her.

Who's coming for her? -Who is behind her?

Peter follows her. - Peter is standing behind her.

And pozyara pozyara!

Wheat is behind the threshing floor!

Who knits the sheaves?

Lida knits sheaves.

Who stacks the sheaves?

Peter stacks the sheaves.

And the poser is the poser

Kameshkirsky district

And pozyara pozyara pozyara

Behind the threshing floor, wheat, wheat.

Who will reap her, her?

Avdotya is reaping her, her.

Who walks along the edge, along the edge?

Peter walks along the edge, along the edge.

Oh Avdotyushka, God help you, God help you.

Oh Petenka thank you, thank you.

If you want to take “me,” then take it, take it.

If you want to leave, then leave, leave!

These two songs clearly refer to the harvest period, and are in no way spring songs, although they are called pozyarks. Therefore, to be more precise in the title, these songs should be called Tundon pozyarat ( Spring poses).

Now, again turning to the works of N.I. Boyarkin, we can find that pozyarki stand out to them as reproach songs. We can find the same definition in L.B. Boyarkina: by calling them korilnye, we thereby emphasize their ancient function, thematic circle, association with the time of year - this is all the explanation and no further evidence follows.

Having examined the texts of the poems, we will see that their plot clearly does not belong to the group of coril songs, but, on the contrary, glorifies a spring day (the red sun, warming the earth and awakening all living things, is shown in the form of an egg yolk; the singing of the nightingale, which is the constant messenger of spring and etc.).

Speaking about the musical analysis of these songs, one can notice that they are very similar to Tundon redyamat morot (songs of the signs of spring) in the intervallic composition and relationships that arise within the work. Pozyarki musically are built according to a standard formula with minor improvisational changes. Their distinctive feature from all other songs is that at the beginning of each stanza the same meaningless word - posera - is repeated, and at the end unisons do not always appear, which is not very typical for Erzya musical folk art.

And concluding, I would like to say that when considering the genre table of different nations, you should not blindly believe everything that is included in them. You should familiarize yourself with the works typical of the people being studied, and only then look at the genre classification presented for public viewing.

3. The originality of Erzya and Moksha songs

Many books and scientific articles have been written about the differences between Mordovians-Erzi and Mordovians-Moksha. Unfortunately, Erzya and Moksha songs are not mentioned anywhere among the differences. If a song is sung in Moksha, then it is Moksha, if a song is sung in Erzya, then it is Erzya. In books, the most that can be found are the main signs Mordovian song in general, without specifying the nationality. A lot of scientific articles are devoted to analyzing the differences Mordovian song and Russian, Mordovian song and Tatar, Mordovian song and Udmurt, etc.

Is it really possible that, apart from differences in language, costume, rituals, and customs among the Erzyans and Mokshans, there are no specifically different features in the songs?

Let's look at two spring songs at once: the first is Moksha, the second is Erzya. The Moksha song mainly has a sharp sound due to the parallel seconds on which the work is deliberately built. In the Erzya song, everything is again much simpler: although there are second-to-second ratios, they are listened to very melodiously throughout the entire song, without standing out from the general mass of sound.

You can continue to give examples of Erzya and Moksha songs, but it seems that I am already ready to answer the question asked earlier. I have reviewed all the works included in the collection of Mordovian songs by Suraev - Korolev, and what happens? It turns out that Erzya songs are much simpler in sound than Moksha songs. Their texture is more transparent and without sharp harmonies. While the Mokshans admire unexpected chords and density of sound, the Erzyans at this time enjoy stretching out empty intervals and free texture. And now I can say for sure that by ear you can still distinguish an Erzya song from a Moksha song without listening to the words and without knowing the genre.

4. The existence of Russian songs in Mordovian villages

Until recently, Russian folklore of Mordovia attracted the attention of scientists mainly in connection with the study of Russian-Mordovian folklore relations, which became the subject of consideration since the 19th century. A.V. devoted a special work to the analysis of Russian-Mordovian relations in history and in the field of folk poetry. Markov. He noted that Russian and Mordovian folklore have a lot in common, but he explained the emergence of this commonality either only by the influence of Russian folklore on Mordovian, or Mordovian on Russian, while the commonality and similarity can also be determined by historical and genetic factors.

The coexistence of national and Russian songs in the oral repertoire of the Mordovian people is perceived as a common phenomenon. A Russian song is often performed after a Mordovian song and vice versa. We can say that in a number of villages these and other songs are perceived as their own - national, and the performers do not divide them into Mordovian and Russian. For example, the grandmothers who sang songs to me often assured me that the song they sang was Mordovian, when in fact it was Russian. Frequent performance of Russian songs developed among Mordovian performers the habit of feeling them as their own, especially since, having existed for a long time among the Mordovians, examples of Russian folklore often changed in form and language, acquired Erzya and Moksha words and even entire expressions.

You can continue to talk about the fact that more and more Mordovian songs are Russian, after all, after reviewing great amount material on this topic, it turned out that many folklorists of Mordovia were dealing with this issue: L.B. Boyarkina, S.G. Mordasova, T.I. Volostnov, etc., not to mention the Russians.

All of them write in their works about the positive aspects and qualities of borrowing Russian songs from the Mordovians. I look at this a little less optimistically and enthusiastically.

Our ancient Mordovian culture is losing its “self” under the onslaught of Russian folk art.

Starting to consider the question of the existence of Russian song in villages, I do not want to repeat myself after other researchers of folklore, because too much has been written about this without me, I just want to say about the tragedy that will certainly follow all this:

We - Mordvins - Moksha and Mordvins - Erzya, being part of the Finno-Ugric people, are at risk of extinction of the national consciousness. Coming soon to our repertoire village grandmothers there will not be a single Mordovian song left - hence the extinction of the native language and the disappearance of Mordovian self-awareness.

If in our time it is difficult for grandmothers to remember Mordovian songs, then what will happen in the future...


Conclusion

At present, the enormous role of musical folk art in the art of each country has long been recognized. Folk art found its most vivid and complete expression not in purely instrumental music, but in combining melody with words - in song. The song, which originated in its most primitive form many thousands of years ago, has steadily developed and evolved in close connection with the development of the culture of the people themselves, their way of life, language, thinking, which are reflected in the lyrics and tunes. Collection of folk songs, main result thousand years of history among most peoples.

Let us carefully preserve our property and take care of its survival. Preserve the treasures of folk musical culture, make them accessible to the general public, professional and amateur performing groups, provide additional material for the creativity of composers, as well as for students of special education educational institutions.

I hope that this work will make you think and analyze the entire current situation that arose at the turn of the 2nd century and continues to this day.

I.Introduction

Last spring, our school hosted a regional seminar for teachers of Mordovian languages. Our class prepared an event dedicated to the arrival of spring. For this event, my class and I made an unusual staff, and our teacher told us that it used to serve as a musical instrument. I wondered what other musical instruments the Mordovian peoples played in ancient times. What material did they use to make them?

The relevance of research: The study is interesting and relevant for students who want to learn more about the culture of the Mordovian people.

Problem : Students at our school study the Mordovian language, but not everyone knows Mordovian folk musical instruments, their purpose, the origin of the instruments, their past and present.

Hypothesis : The emergence of Mordovian musical instruments is associated with the culture and way of life of the Mordovians.

Goal of the work : Find out the history of the appearance of musical instruments, their purpose, and trace the path of their development.

Tasks: Study historical, educational, reference literature about Mordovian folk musical instruments; systematize the information received; using the example of some instruments to show the originality of the Mordovian culture, the connection with nature.

Subject of study: Mordovian folk musical instruments, their past and present.

Research methods: analysis, generalization, classification, comparison.

Research work structure: introduction, main part, conclusion, bibliography, appendices.

II. Main part.

2.1. The Mordovian people carefully preserve their musical culture, their songs and tunes, and, of course, folk instruments. After all, our ancestors believed in the magical healing power of sound.(Slide 3)

The traditional musical instruments of the Mordovian people are both the simplest adaptations of objects from the environment and household life, as well as more complex and varied in design specially made musical instruments.

Over time, Mordovian instruments for applied purposes began to become a thing of the past, but national musical instruments took on a new look.

Musical instruments were made from wood, birch bark, plant stems, grass and tree leaves, tree trunks and branches.(Slide 4)

We decided to make some musical instruments ourselves together with dad, and I found some in our school museum.

2.2 . There is a classification of Mordovian folk musical instruments.

The first group is percussion musical instruments (idiophones).(Slide 5)

These include: baydyama, kalderfnema, shavoma, shuftonkutsuft.

The Moksha people endowed paigona with magical qualities as a talisman against diseases and evil forces - these are metal bells strung on a cord and hanging on women’s belts. Believing in their magical power, the bells were hung on a staff. According to legend, the staff belonged to one of the revered gods of the Mordovians. Among the Mokshas this instrument is called baidyama. It was often used in various rituals.(Slide 6)

And this tetrahedral box made from a single birch bar is called kalderfnema. A piece of oak knot is attached to the rope, which hits the box when swinging. With the help of a mallet, signals were given to gather people for lunch.(Slide 7)

The shavom tool is a smoothly planed spruce or birch board. It can be struck with wooden hammers or wooden spoons (kutsuft) - they also served as an independent tool. Shavom was often used in rituals or during the rite of the first day of pasture of livestock, which came after a long winter, as well as to scare away predators from livestock, since it was credited with a special magical power that was capable of scaring away evil spirits.(Slide 8)

A rubel is a wooden board with cut-out transverse grooves for rolling laundry. The household item was used for beating (washing) and ironing clothes. The rubel-valek was also used as a musical instrument. When playing, the ruble is held by the handle with one hand, and the other is moved back and forth along its scars with a wooden spoon or stick.(Slide 9)

2.3 .The second group of musical instruments is wind instruments (aerophones)(Slide 10)

The most common instrument from this group is the nyudi, which has existed since the middle of the second millennium AD. This is a hollow wooden pipe that existed in every Mordovian family. With the advent of a baby, families made a pipe, with a tongue and one hole in the barrel. With each year of the child’s life, a hole appeared on the trunk, and there were 6 of them in total, since at the age of seven the child became a housewife.(Slide 11)

In traditional Mordovian poetry, nudes are a symbol of sadness. “There was a custom of playing lamentable tunes on the nude in the cemetery.” It was also believed that the sounds of nudes could stop bleeding.

Syura is a trumpet made from a bull or cow horn. One side of the thread spool was ground down and inserted into the hole of the horn, and on the other a recess was made for the lips. The syura was used by shepherds as a signaling instrument, as well as a ritual one, supposedly capable of driving away evil spirits.(Slide 12)

The ritual musical instrument of the Mordovians was the Jew's harp. The Mokshans call it Tsingoryama. It is a horseshoe-shaped iron plate with a flexible steel tongue in the middle. The sound of this instrument was used in songs and dance tunes. The most revered animal among the Mordovians is the horse. It is easy to depict the clatter of hooves on this instrument. Mostly dance melodies were played on the instrument.

(Slide 13)

At family calendar holidays, tunes were played on a hollow whistle made of baked clay with playing holes “sevonenyavyashkoma”. Whistles were most often in the shape of a duck, since according to legend, the Supreme God of the Mordovians, Shkabavaz, floated through the water on a stone in the shape of a duck. The instrument has been known since the beginning of the 1st millennium AD. e.(Slide 14)

Torama is an ancient wind signal instrument. It was made from linden rings inserted into each other in the form of an expanding tube. A tongue made of birch bark was inserted inside. According to legend, the toram belonged to the first Mordovian king Tyushte. During his reign, peace and prosperity reigned on Mordovian land. For this, the Mordovians equated him with the gods and endowed him with immortality. Leaving the Mordovian land, Tyushtya left a torama to his people and he bequeathed: “You live, live in friendship, my torama - my trumpet, will, as before, bring you together.”(Slide 15)

From the middle of the 19th century, the balalaika and harmonica, borrowed from the Russians, entered the life of Mordovians everywhere.(Slide 16)

III.Conclusion

To summarize all of the above, I would like to say that Mordovian folk musical instruments first arose as helpers in the difficult life of the forest people and were made from the material that was around them. Subsequently, people began to play them during recreation or on holidays.

Mordovian musical instruments, as well as song creativity, were created and developed over many centuries in accordance with the conditions of life, everyday life and work. The emergence of instruments occurred at various stages of the evolution of the culture of the people and in accordance with the general development of human society and in the interrelation of peoples.

In the traditional musical culture of the Mordovians, instrumental music occupied an important place. As an integral part of the spiritual heritage of the people, it was an integral attribute of the life of the Mordovians, including pagan rituals and holidays (calendar and family); instrumental music was given magical, healing and educational significance.

Currently, many Mordovians national instruments used by folk musicians at song festivals and folklore festivals.

MORDOVIAN FOLK INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. The syncretism of ancient art has been preserved to this day. Diverse in social functions (labor, ritual-ritual, aesthetic). It has a developed genre-style system and is organically connected. from tradition vocal music (see Mordovian folk vocal music) and mythological concepts of ethnicity. It distinguishes between tunes and accompaniments for vocal performances of songs.

From tunes, connections. with the labor activity of society, the following are known: working rhythms - laconic, stable formulas, performed on special. percussion instruments (idiophones), sometimes accompanied by singing; hunting noises are rhythmically disordered. signals produced by struck, struck and scraped idiophones for the purpose of driving game to hunters; hunting melodic signals intoned on natural trumpets (m. toram, e. dorama) before the start and end of the hunt. The most developed among the Mordovians was the ritual instrument. music, in which there are 2 main differences. class of tunes: non-program and program. The first include widespread. in the recent past, polytimbre noise tunes accompanied episodes of family and calendar festivals, carnival processions, performed on trees. and metallic idiophones, timbre and dynamics were given decisive importance. The tunes were divided into panemat (from panems “to drive away”), which performed cathartic, and veshemat (from veshems “to ask”) - karpogonic. functions. Program tunes are characterized by a variety of genre types. The roots of the tunes go back to the most ancient cults preserved among the Finno-Ugrians in mythology, song poetry and prose, choreographic. and applied art, ritual and entertainment forms of traditions. adv. theater They have stable program names, connections. with name cult animals, birds and sacred trees, which are often replaced by metaphors (old man bear, silver-winged swan, etc.; see Cult of trees, Cult of animals). According to the character and timbre of sound, figurative and thematic. content, musical-style features and forms of interaction with traditions. Songlike tunes form two genre groups: zoo- and ornithomorphic. Zoomorphic program-image. and onomatopoeic. character - ovton kishtemat (bear dances), in the past they were intoned on bagpipes and nudes, nowadays - on the violin and harmonica, accompanied by shaken metallics. and trees struck idiophones, as well as a mortar and pestle (a symbol of fertility). Performed at weddings and in the Christmas house. That means they were different. melodic improvisation. Ornithomorphic tunes of 3 genre types: guvan unamat (cooing of a dove), which symbolically reflected ancient forms of thinking; narmon seeremat (bird calling) - Maslenitsa calls of migratory birds, intoned on ocarina flutes; narmon kishtemat (bird dances) is the most developed type of ornithomorphic pieces, performed in the past on the nyudi, garzi and gaiga, and now on the violin, balalaika and harmonica accompanied by dancing in the Christmas House. The structure-forming function in them is performed by melodic-rhythmic. Components.

Among other genre types is a ritual instrument. music, most preserved among the Mordovians-Shoksha and Erzi, tunes of a symbolically programmatic nature pazmorot (from paz “patron”, Moro “song, tune”), which existed in the Ozks, dedicated. animistic sacred cults trees and water. The latter, along with the main function - the propitiation of Vedyava - other elements of magic are also inherent, for example. cleansing after the wedding night. Pazmorot, based on the nature of performance and musical-style features, are divided into dance (connected with the cult of water) and drawn-out (connected with sacred trees), which also include songs under the same names.

From a non-ritual instrument. 2 genre types of music are known: wanyqian morot (shepherd songs), a type of music-philosophy. tool. lyrics, and one morot (songs of youth). The first ones are intoned in nude; according to music the warehouse are improvisations based on drawn-out and dance tunes, as well as melodic signals. The second ones are performed at circle games, gatherings and autumn scatterings on nyudi, garzi, gaiga; their program names. similar to the name plays f.-u. and Turk. peoples, communications with the names of girls and boys, animals, everyday life.

In modern In the everyday life of the people, tunes and borrowings are common. from neighboring peoples: Russians, Tatars, Chuvash.

MORDOVIAN FOLK MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, monuments of tradition music ethnic culture. They influenced the origin and development of many. forms of tradition. music. Based on the vibrator (sound source) main. classes of faces. instruments are idiophones (self-sounding), chordophones (strings) and aerophones (wind).
