The program of the first concert included 27 songs from the Voronezh, Ryazan and Smolensk regions of Russia. Sergei Rachmaninov, Fyodor Chaliapin, Ivan Bunin were shocked by the pristine and inspired singing art of the peasants and gave the highest praise to the peasant singers and musicians.

State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after M. E. Pyatnitsky was founded in 1911 by an outstanding researcher, collector and propagandist of Russian folk art Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky, who for the first time showed a traditional Russian song in the form in which it had been performed by the people for centuries. Finding talented people folk singers, he sought to acquaint wide circles of the urban public with their inspired mastery, to make them feel the full artistic value of Russian folk song.
The choir's first performance took place on March 2, 1911 on the small stage of the Moscow Noble Assembly. This concert was highly appreciated by S. Rachmaninov, F. Chaliapin, I. Bunin. After enthusiastic publications in printed publications In those years, the popularity of the choir increased year by year. In 1918, by order of V.I. Lenin, all members of the peasant choir were transported to Moscow. In the 1920s the team has already toured many regions of the country.
After the death in 1927 of M. E. Pyatnitsky, who left more than 400 songs he collected as a creative legacy, the choir was led by philologist and folklorist P. M. Kazmin, People's Artist of the RSFSR, laureate of State Prizes. In the same year, the choir received the name of M. E. Pyatnitsky.
In 1929, with the beginning of collectivization, a campaign was launched against the Choir under the slogan “We don’t need a choir with songs from the kulak village. New village - new songs." The “crisis” allowed the arrival of a talented composer, People’s Artist of the USSR V. G. Zakharov in the Choir in 1931, who headed the group until 1956. During this period, original songs appeared in the choir’s repertoire, including those glorifying the beginning of collectivization and electrification and industrialization. Vladimir Zakharov’s songs “And Who Knows Him,” “Russian Beauty,” and “Along the Village” became famous throughout the country. In 1936, the team was given State status.
In 1938, two new professional choir groups were created - dance and orchestral, thanks to which the expressive stage means of the group expanded significantly. The founder and leader of the dance group for 60 years was People's Artist of the USSR T. A. Ustinova. The founder of the orchestral group is People's Artist of the RSFSR V.V. Khvatov.
During the Great Patriotic War The choir named after M.E. Pyatnitsky performed as part of front-line concert brigades, and Vladimir Zakharov’s song to the words of Mikhail Isakovsky “Oh, my mists” became the anthem of the partisan movement. The choir was one of the few groups that took part in the celebration of the great Victory on May 9, 1945 on Red Square.
In the post-war years, the group actively toured the country and was one of the first to be entrusted with representing Russia abroad. Spectators from more than 40 countries around the world have become acquainted with his art, and the Choir still actively and successfully tours abroad. In 1961 the team was headed famous composer, People's Artist of Russia, State Prize laureate V. S. Levashov. The choir named after M.E. Pyatnitsky was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor (1961), the Order of Friendship of Peoples (1986). In 1968 he was awarded the title “Academic”.

Such concert programs as “I am proud of you, country”, “Russia is my Motherland”, “Mother Russia”, “...Unconquered Rus', Righteous Rus'...” meet the high criteria of spirituality and morality of the Russian people and are extremely popular among viewers and in significantly contribute to the education of Russians in the spirit of love for their Fatherland.

The choir is honored to represent our country at the highest level abroad within the framework of meetings of heads of state and Russian Culture Days.
The choir named after M.E. Pyatnitsky retains its unique creative identity, remaining a scientific center of professional folk art. Each performance of the choir is a high achievement and a standard of harmony in stage folk art.
History of the creation of the choir
Back in 1902, Pyatnitsky began creating a folk song ensemble. In 1910, Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky created a choir of folk singers from the Voronezh, Smolensk and Ryazan provinces. On March 2, 1911, the choir performed for the first time in the hall of the Moscow Noble Assembly.
The hall was full. The curtain slowly parted, and an ordinary village hut appeared before the surprised spectators, along the log walls of which there were roughly built benches. A Russian stove, cast iron pots, a poker, grips, a cradle, a spinning wheel, a dowry chest... Eighteen peasants took the stage.
The concert was held to deafening applause from the audience. It was something completely new, combining folk song and theatrical performance. That first concert of the choir showed the beauty of Russian folk song and opened the way to the concert stage for its performers - ordinary Russian peasants.
“Nothing has expressed the life and entire way of life of the Russian people so vividly as in song. In it he poured out his hopeless sadness, and joy, and fun. He spoke with nature, sang of the spring flower, the boundless steppes, the blue sea and the steep mountains. The soul of a Russian person is entirely reflected in the song, as in a mirror. That’s why I invited peasant singers to Moscow to show Russian songs in a truly unspoiled performance,”- said Mitrofan Efimovich.
Songs in the choir were sung nowhere and by ordinary Russian peasants who had never studied music. They came to the city only for the duration of the performance. The choir sang, as was customary in the villages, soulfully and artlessly.
“Peasant singers perform in authentic costumes from their provinces and with appropriate scenery.
The first section depicted “Evening outside the outskirts.”
The second section was called “Festive Day after Mass” and consisted entirely of spiritual poems.
The third part consisted of a wedding ceremony in a hut in the Voronezh province, wedding and ritual songs,” wrote the Moskovsky Listok newspaper.
Famous composer A.D. Kastalsky, amazed by the unusual performance of the choir, wrote: “These unknown Nikolai Ivanovichs, Arinushki, Praskovya Fedorovnas often have such mastery of their art in its entirety (melody, harmony, counterpoint, musical expression) that it is difficult for us to understand how, while practicing this art between In fact, you can so artistically convey it to listeners, moreover, in a completely unusual environment for performers.
Peasant concerts organized by M.E. "
“I won’t point out outstanding individual songs. Almost all of them are interesting, if not for the music, then for the performance, words or rituals... Several songs were sung with the accompaniment of the pity and the Little Russian “lyre” (“the snout” is a common instrument of the blind in Little Russia). Of the round dance songs, “On the Mountain of Viburnum” is especially interesting, where the story of free love is depicted in people with truly elemental simplicity.
The most complete impression is made by the picture of the wedding (3rd part). You can hear girls singing on the street, the bride is wailing, the groom and his family enter, they greet him with a song, they bring the bride to him, the matchmaker treats everyone with new jokes, etc. The matter ends, of course, with dance songs: here there is a lively melody, and syncopated, rollicking cries of echoes, and all sorts of rhythms of stamping, and pity, and clapping of hands, and a whirlpool of dancing - everything merges into one living, ebullient whole - “smoke like a yoke” ; Most of all, it captivates both the audience and, in the end, the performers themselves, even the old people” - music critic Yu. Engel.
The choir's concerts were held without preliminary singing. “That’s the whole beauty of a folk song, that the singers perform it “as best they can.” I give them only two instructions: quieter and louder. I only ask them for one thing: sing as you sing in your own village and in a round dance,” Pyatnitsky said about his choir.
Among the choir's fans were such famous Russian cultural figures as Chaliapin, Rachmaninov, Bunin, Taneyev. The singers called themselves a “singing artel”. They sang for the capital's audience and after the concert went back to their villages.
Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky: “A folk song is an artistic chronicle folk life, unfortunately, is dying out every day... The village begins to forget its beautiful songs... The folk song is disappearing, and it must be saved.”
Pyatnitsky Mitrofan Efimovich
Mitrofan Pyatnitsky was born in 1864 in the village of Aleksandrovka, Voronezh province, in large family sexton Efim Petrovich Pyatnitsky. They lived poorly. Her mother raised geese and chickens, and her sisters helped her with housework. The brothers were destined for one road - to the seminary.
Mitrofan's father was one of the best singers in the church, and the boy loved listening to spiritual chants more than anything in the world. He stood for hours tirelessly in a small village temple, warmed by candles, saturated with the sweet smell of incense. It seemed that Mitrofan was giving himself up to prayer with all his soul. None of the sexton’s sons wanted to go to the seminary, and only for Mitrofan alone the parents were calm: the Lord himself sent him to the right way!
The Lord really directed Mitrofan on a special path, but it was not the path of church service.
After parish school, Mitrofan entered the theological school at the Voronezh seminary. His training ended sadly. Mitrofan Pyatnitsky secretly bought a collection at the market folk songs and learned them in the evenings. They reported on him. He went home. In the summer of 1876, twelve-year-old Mitrofan suffered a nervous breakdown, accompanied by a seizure and fever, which in those days was called “brain fever.”
After recovery, he did not return to the theological school, studied to be a mechanic, went to work in the city, then got a job as a clerk in the control chamber in Voronezh, and then, having studied accounting, entered the housekeeper... in the same theological school, where he was so afraid to end up again.
Mitrofan dreamed of singing in opera. He began to study, put on a voice. And he succeeded in his studies so much that in the spring of 1896 he managed to achieve the almost impossible: he was auditioned at the conservatory and agreed to accept him to study. And this, despite age and lack of proper preparatory school! True, there was one condition: Pyatnitsky had to take the position of housekeeper in the new building of the conservatory, and on very unfavorable living and payment conditions. But Mitrofan was ready to do anything to become a singer. Classes were supposed to start in the fall. Inspired by dreams of the future, he came to Voronezh for the summer...
But there, due to unrequited love, he develops an illness and ends up in a hospital for the mentally ill in Moscow. Chaliapin, who warmly sympathized with him, often visited him in the hospital. They walked together in the park, talked, and Fyodor Ivanovich became more and more imbued with sympathy for him. It was Chaliapin who gave Mitrofan Efimovich the most important advice in his life: leave vocals and do the better, what his soul is most passionate about is collecting Russian songs.
After all, this can be done professionally! And Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin brought Pyatnitsky to a meeting of the musical and ethnographic commission at the university Society of Natural History, Anthropology and Ethnography. Very soon Pyatnitsky got comfortable here, and in 1903 he became a full member of the commission.
It started creative path– Mitrofan Efimovich traveled to villages, collecting songs. In 1904, at his own expense, he published a thin book “12 songs of the Voronezh province of Bobrovsky district.” This book brought him fame. Pyatnitsky was increasingly invited not only to charity evenings, but also to folklore classes with students. Soon he was able to buy himself a phonograph to record folk songs. His second book, “Pearls of the Ancient Song of Great Rus',” already enjoyed incredible popularity. He also recorded himself, and we can now hear Pyatnitsky’s voice - he had a pleasant soft baritone.
In 1910, Pyatnitsky met his “muse” - a seventy-year-old peasant woman Arinushka Kolobaeva, who had a magnificent voice and knew a huge number of songs. Arinushka performed with her two daughters and granddaughter Matryona. Gradually other singers joined in, and in February 1911 the first two concerts took place. peasant singers under the leadership of Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky. They performed on the Small Stage of the Noble Assembly. Success came immediately.
In 1914, the choir experienced a disaster - Arinushka Kolobaeva died. Before they had time to mourn the death of the soloist, the war began. Many choristers were drafted into the active army.
However, Pyatnitsky did not give up. He tried to “drag” the surviving choristers to Moscow, got them jobs, and rehearsed them in the evenings. His good friend, sculptor Sergei Konenkov, recalled: “Being a soft, kind and affectionate person, he always communicated smoothly with his choristers, delved into the little things of their lives and often took them to opera performances at the Bolshoi Theater.”
For twenty-four years he worked in one of the Moscow hospitals, while taking singing lessons. Then, also in parallel with his work, he began performing at concerts, singing folk songs.
In 1919, he again took up the task of forming a choir, uniting around himself performers and experts in folk songs who had moved to Moscow from remote villages and hamlets.
Who was not in the revived Pyatnitsky choir! Workers and labourers, janitors and watchmen—nugget singers who had no music education, but had excellent hearing, vocal abilities and musical memory. We rehearsed at Pyatnitsky’s apartment, and he gave many free vocal lessons. He even managed to get some of the most talented choristers exempt from conscription into the Red Army.
From 1921 to 1925, Pyatnitsky taught singing at the Third Judge of the Moscow Art Theater (now the E.B. Vakhtangov Theater).
Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky died in 1927 and was buried at Novodevichy Cemetery. Before his death, he handed over the choir to his nephew, folklorist Pyotr Mikhailovich Kazmin, instructing him:
The choir officially received the name of Pyatnitsky. Didn't perform in restaurants. A different fate awaited him.“Don't sing in restaurants; hold fast the banner of authentic folk song. And if the choir goes to work in a restaurant, then don’t associate my name with this choir.”
Formation of a new look for the choir
“Russian songs are wonderful and wonderful, with soulful melodies and deep thoughts in the text. Really, sometimes you don’t know who to give preference to: the genius of the composer or the poet? For centuries they have been arranging their native song, like a bride to the crown, so that she, desired, will see the light of God.”– Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky, the creator of the choir, wrote excitedly.
Time passed. Dozens of singing groups have become history. Many great singers were forced to emigrate. Perhaps the same fate was in store for Pyatnitsky’s choir, if not for chance. Once, it was in 1918, the choir was invited to perform for Red Army soldiers leaving for the front. It was absolutely impossible to refuse. It so happened that Lenin himself heard that concert. He was so moved by the singing of simple illiterate peasants that he ordered “to provide talented nuggets with all possible support.” Immediately after this, the choir was finally transferred to Moscow. For rehearsals and accommodation of the artists, a fairly large mansion was allocated on Bozhaninovka.
After the death of Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky, the choir received his name. At the same time, a new look for the choir began to take shape, which by the end of the 1930s became the standard for Soviet professional and amateur folk choirs.
In 1929, a controversy arose around the Pyatnitsky Choir about whether it was needed modern Russia. “We don’t need a choir with songs from the kulak village. New village - new songs." The newspapers wrote that the choir, which sings the songs of the old village, has outlived its usefulness and the country needs new songs. A forced response to this was the creation by the new choir director, Vladimir Grigorievich Zakharov, of songs about collectivization “Take us for a ride, Petrusha, on a tractor,” and electrification “Along the village from hut to hut.” These, of course, were not folk songs, but each era has its own works of art, and thanks to the highest creative skill of the performers, these numbers were received with a bang. Together with them, vocal works created in the folklore spirit, “And who knows,” “Oh, my fogs, foggy,” became national property and songs that were sung by the entire Soviet people.
Since 1938, the Pyatnitsky Choir has been divided into two groups - dance and orchestral. For over 60 years dance group It was headed by its founder, People's Artist of the USSR Tatyana Ustinova. The orchestral group was founded and led by People's Artist of the RSFSR Vyacheslav Khvatov. The Pyatnitsky Choir has turned into a collective the highest level, without which state events could not be done.
During the Great Patriotic War, the choir, like many other Soviet artists, performed their concerts on the front line, without stopping their concert activities for a single day. His song “Oh, my mists” became the anthem of the partisan movement (words by Mikhail Isakovsky, music by Vladimir Zakharov). On May 9, 1945, the choir was one of the few groups to sing in Moscow on Red Square in front of the victors of fascism. Documentary footage filmed on Red Square has been preserved, where you can see caps, caps and caps flying into the air to greet the choir. The Pyatnitsky Choir has become one of the brightest national symbols of the Soviet state. His tour was seen by audiences in more than forty countries around the world.
The costumes of the choir members changed according to different periods. There were also obvious excesses of “village life” - for example, in the early 50s, performers showed off on stage in fashionable dresses of the time and with six-month perms on their heads, and dancers sported double-breasted jackets and bell-bottoms. Later there were huge kokoshniks and even dresses with rhinestones.
Since 1962, the team has been headed by the famous composer and People's Artist of Russia Valentin Levashov. From 1989 to the present, the group has been headed by People's Artist of Russia Alexandra Permyakova. She returned the choir to folk origins, to what the founder of the choir, Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky, promoted in his work. And a miracle happened - the costumes of the choir from Pyatnitsky’s time - simple Russian sundresses, sweaters, modest scarves - returned the choir from a matryoshka, decorated rhinestone-velvet-brocade pseudo-folk group to the modern peasant choir of Mitrofan Pyatnitsky.
He began again to perform authentic Russian folk songs and dances from different regions of our homeland, such as: “Quadrille of the Prelensky Coachmen”, “Kasimovskaya Dance”, “Saratov Karachanka”.
Today all the advantages folk choir named after M.E. Pyatnitsky is revealed by his bright and rich program, which includes songs, dances, ditties and spiritual singing
Currently, performances of the Pyatnitsky Choir can not often be seen on the TV screen. The “format” of Russian TV channels is filled with pop music, and the country’s leaders sing along with visiting guests foreign stars. But despite this, anniversary concert The Pyatnitsky Choir in the State Kremlin Palace, which seats almost 6.5 thousand spectators, was overcrowded. Although middle age The choir artists are only 19 years old, among them there are 47 regional and All-Russian competitions vocalists representing 30 regions of Russia.
The director of the choir, People's Artist of Russia Alexandra Permyakova: “...The current composition of the Russian folk choir named after M.E. Pyatnitsky was formed in the early 90s. Now we can talk about this frankly: by the beginning of that decade, Pyatnitsky’s choir practically did not exist. The participants scattered to joint ventures, leisure centers and the like... And the cry was thrown across all of Russia... Now the team includes representatives of 30 regions of the country. These are the best singing forces in our country.
Today's choir concerts take place non-stop. They ask me - what kind of form is this? And why did you come to this? We didn’t really invent anything. If you look at the first programs of 1911–1912 of the Pyatnitsky peasant choir, we see the same thing that we are doing now. It is with great joy that I state that recent years Interest in Russian folk song, dance, and music is growing and growing. If in the 90s at the concert of the Pyatnitsky choir in Moscow there was more people than in the hall, now everything is completely different. Pop stars do not collect full Kremlin Palace- we collected. Now I'm with full responsibility I say that the team is a people’s team. Because the basis of the repertoire is authentic folk songs from different regions of Russia. I am responsible to the people for the safety of this archive.”

State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after. M. E. Pyatnitsky- Russian musical group performing folk music.
This is exactly what the first posters of the now famous group looked like - the State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after. M.E. Pyatnitsky - back in 1911.
The ancestor of the folk choral singing on the professional stage and became the organizer of the first folk choir in Russia Mitrofan Efimovich Pyatnitsky(1864-1927), an expert in the art of singing, a famous “collector” of Russian songs. He traveled to villages and towns in central Russia, listening to folk singers. More than 400 songs recorded on an ancient roller phonograph are preserved in the archives of Mitrofan Pyatnitsky. Pyatnitsky was so subdued folk performers that he had a dream to show Russian song on the concert stage in its true form, the way it had sounded for centuries.
The band's first concert took place March 2, 1911 in Moscow on the stage of the Noble Assembly. Singing peasants appeared before the public - straight from the ground, from the plow, from the heap. The initial composition consisted of eighteen people from three central Russian provinces. And until the beginning of the 20s, singers were invited to concerts in Moscow, and then they returned to their villages. Only 10 years later, Mitrofan Pyatnitsky moved the choir members to live in the capital, and they began to perform in a permanent composition.
After Pyatnitsky’s death in 1927, Pyotr Mikhailovich Kazmin became the director of the choir.
In 1962, the choir was headed by the famous composer Valentin Sergeevich Levashov, whose songs became the basis of the group's repertoire. In 1985, he was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR. The repertoire was replenished with a new genre of vocal and choreographic composition. These were, first of all, large-scale, epic canvases of folk life in the synthesis of words, music and dance, representing entire cultural and ethnographic sections: Bryansk games, Kaluga busts, Kursk dance with ditties.
Since 1989, the Choir named after. Pyatnitsky is headed by Alexandra Andreevna Permyakova (since 1989 - director, and since 1995 - Artistic Director - Director).
Today, after a rather difficult period in the early - mid-90s, the State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after M. E. Pyatnitsky is again on the rise. 90 percent of its artists are graduates of the Pyatnitsky Choir School-Studio, created 30 years ago. Tatiana Ustinova.
