1. Italy. About Italian songs (6th and 7th grade students tell )

Italy has been repeatedly called a country high culture and art. After all, Italy is the birthplace of people who made a huge contribution to world development painting, music, theater, architecture. But now we will talk about music and Italian songs.

Many consider Italy the cradle musical art, because many music industries have developed in Italy.

Italian songs are the most beloved all over the world, these are world hits of the most famous performers. The history of Italian music goes back centuries, and it is precisely this rich history of the development of musical art in Italy that can be called the reason for the current popularity of the Italian stage.

And in general, as Italians often say jokingly: “If there is one thing we can do well, it is writing and singing songs.” And this joke is very true, because Italians do not lose heart in any situation and always compose songs, expressing their aspirations and dreams, fun and sadness, all feelings and desires and glorify the best that is in their life. By studying songs, you can learn a lot about the culture of a country, people, etc. Folk songs of Italy have been created over centuries. They express the entire culture of the people, and are associated with various events that took place in many parts of Italy.

Italy has a very great heritage , and they all differ depending on the area in which they originated. Historians studying Italian folk songs have been able to systematize thousands of ancient styles of folk songs. They determined that often the same melody can have different lyrics, or, conversely, the same text is superimposed on different melodies.

One of the most striking examples of Italian song isNeapolitan song . The Neapolitan song is a gem Italian culture. It is called the second largest diamond, after opera art Italy. All over the world, a very large number of different performers include elements from this pearl of song lyrics in their repertoire. In addition, many performers take several entire Neapolitan songs into their repertoire. And this is an excellent solution, because Neapolitan songs allow one to demonstrate all the beauty and power of the performer’s voice, at the same time, these songs are pleasant to almost all listeners, thanks to their unusually beautiful melody.

Today we will listen to several Italian songs arranged for piano.

The Neapolitan song “Come back to Sorrento” was written in 1902 by two brothers Ernesto and Giambatista de Curtis, as one version says, at the request of the mayor of Sorrento for the arrival of the Prime Minister of Italy.

E. Curtis “Return to Sorrento” performsBobrova Yana .

How beautiful is the distance of the sea,

How she attracts, sparkling,

Tender and caressing heart,

It's like your gaze is blue.

Do you hear in the orange groves

The sounds of nightingale trills?

All fragrant in flowers,

The land around me blossomed.

Chorus: But you're going, darling,

The distance is calling you differently...

Am I really forever

Lost you, my friend?

Don't leave me!

I beg you!

Come back to Sorrento

My love!

Bright pages in the lives of many outstanding composers there were travels around different countries peace. The impressions received from the trips inspired great masters to create new musical masterpieces.

The Great Journey of F. Liszt.

The famous cycle of piano pieces by F. Liszt is called “The Years of Wanderings”. The composer combined in it many works inspired by visits to famous historical and famous cultural places. The beauty of Switzerland was reflected in the musical lines of the plays “At the Spring”, “On Lake Wallenstadt”, “The Thunderstorm”, “The Oberman Valley”, “The Bells of Geneva” and others. While staying with his family in Italy, Liszt met Rome, Florence, and Naples.

F. Leaf. Fountains of Villa d.Este (with views of the villa)

Piano works, written under the impression of this journey, are inspired by Italian Renaissance art. These plays also confirm Liszt's belief that all types of art are closely related. Having seen Raphael's painting "The Betrothal", Liszt writes musical piece with the same name, and the severe sculpture of L. Medici by Michelangelo inspired the miniature “The Thinker”.

The image of the great Dante is embodied in the fantasy sonata “After Reading Dante.” Several plays are united under the heading "Venice and Naples". They are brilliant transcriptions of popular Venetian melodies, including a fiery Italian tarantella.

In Italy, the composer's imagination was struck by the beauty of the legendary Villa d. Este of the 16th century, the architectural complex of which included a palace and lush gardens with fountains. Liszt creates a virtuoso, romantic play “The Fountains of the Villa d. Este”, in which the trembling and flickering of water jets can be heard.

Russian composers and travelers.

To the founder of Russian classical music M.I. Glinka managed to visit different countries, including Spain. The composer traveled a lot on horseback through the villages of the country, studying local customs, mores, and Spanish musical culture. As a result, the brilliant “Spanish Overtures” were written.

M. I. Glinka. Aragonese jota.

The magnificent "Aragonese Jota" is based on authentic dance melodies from the province of Aragon. The music of this work is characterized by bright colors and rich contrasts. Castanets, so typical of Spanish folklore, sound especially impressive in the orchestra.

The cheerful, graceful theme of the jota bursts into the musical context, after a slow, majestic introduction, with brilliance, like a “stream of a fountain” (as one of the classics of musicology B. Asafiev noted), gradually turning into a jubilant stream of unbridled folk fun.

M. I. Glinka Aragonese jota (with dance)

M.A. Balakirev was delighted with the magical nature of the Caucasus, its legends, and the music of the mountain people. He creates the piano fantasy “Islamey” on the theme of Kabardian folk dance, the romance “Georgian Song”, symphonic poem“Tamara” based on the famous poem by M. Yu. Lermontov, which turned out to be in tune with the composer’s plans. Lermontov's poetic creation is based on the legend of the beautiful and treacherous Queen Tamara, who invites knights to the tower and dooms them to death.

M. A. Balakirev “Tamara”.

The introduction of the Poem paints a gloomy picture of the Daryal Gorge, and in the central part of the work bright melodies full of passion sound in oriental style, revealing the image of the legendary queen. The Poem ends with restrained dramatic music, indicating tragic fate fans of the crafty Queen Tamara.

The world has become small.

The exotic East attracts C. Saint-Saens to travel, and he visits Egypt, Algeria, South America, Asia. The fruit of the composer’s acquaintance with the culture of these countries were the following works: the orchestral “Algerian Suite”, the fantasy “Africa” for piano and orchestra, “Persian Melodies” for voice and piano.

Composers of the 20th century you didn’t have to spend weeks shaking in a stagecoach off-road to see the beauty distant countries. English musical classic B. Britten went on a long journey in 1956 and visited India, Indonesia, Japan, and Ceylon.

The ballet fairy tale “Prince of the Pagodas” was born under the impression of this grandiose voyage. The story of how the Emperor’s evil daughter Ellin takes away her father’s crown, and tries to take away her groom from her sister Rose, is woven from many European fairy tales, with plots from oriental legends interspersed there as well. The charming and noble princess Rose is taken by the insidious Jester to the mythical Kingdom of Pagodas, where she is met by the Prince, enchanted by the Salamander monster.

The princess's kiss breaks the spell. The ballet ends with the return of the Emperor's father to the throne and the wedding of Rose and the Prince. The orchestral part of the scene of the meeting between Rose and Salamander is full of exotic sounds, reminiscent of Balinese gamelan.

B. Britten “Prince of the Pagodas” (Princess Rose, Scamander and the Fool).

Like a spring breeze

That waltz still sounds in me,
Like a cloud in the blue,
Like a spring in the grass,
Like a dream that I see in reality,
Like the news that I live
In kinship with nature

Pupils: Listen to music.

Teacher: So we visited the shore of the bay and I propose to go to Germany to meet with Johann Sebastian Bach. German composer, virtuoso organist, music teacher. Bach's father died suddenly when Johann Sebastian was nine years old. The boy was given to be raised by his older brother, organist Johann Christoph Bach. Christophe had a collection of works by then famous composers. The older brother locked this collection of “fashionable” music in a barred closet, but at night young Bach somehow managed to in a cunning way picked up and pulled out a book of music from behind bars and secretly copied it for himself. The whole difficulty was that it was impossible to get candles, and you only had to use moonlight. For six whole months, ten-year-old Johann Sebastian spent the night copying notes, but - alas! When the heroic work was nearing completion, Johann Christoph caught his younger brother at the crime scene and took the original and the copy from the rebellious man. Bach's grief knew no bounds, he cried out in tears: “If this is so, I will write the same music myself, I will write it even better!” The brother laughed in response and said: “Go to sleep, you chatterbox.” But Johann Sebastian did not throw words to the wind and fulfilled his childhood promise.

Let's listen to one of the works of this talented composer. Toccata in D minor.

Progress of the lesson.

Teacher : - Hello, guys! Today we will go on a musical journey through Italy, you will find out why the musical culture of this country is famous and interesting.

The Italian people have long been famous for their musicality, and the roots of this musical culture go back to Ancient Rome. Even then, the first singing schools were created. And later, the Italian monk Guido D'Arezzo invented musical notation.

It was in Italy that the first opera was born. And this is not surprising, because in Italy everyone loves to sing: both children and adults, and people different professions, starting from the baker and ending with the minister.

Why do you think?

Children : - Italy is very beautiful, and I wanted to sing from the beauty of nature.

Teacher : - Indeed, this contributes extraordinarily beautiful nature, a mild maritime climate and, probably, the Italian language itself. It is very melodious, melodic, and has many vowels that are well vocalized. Italian is recognized by musicians as the international language of music.
See if these are familiar to you Italian words?

What do they mean? (Children remember the terms: “loud” and “quiet” ") What other Italian words-terms can you name? (Children name familiar words and terms: legato , staccato , dolce , crescendo , diminuendo )

Teacher: - Listen to the famous Italian song “Santa Lucia” performed by Robertino Loretti (this Italian boy, who at one time amazed the audience with his beautiful voice bell canto ). He sang like an adult musician. Listen to the melody of the language, the melodiousness of the vowels, and be imbued with the beauty of the melody. And S. F. Shchedrin’s painting “Santa Lucia Embankment in Naples” will help us feel the atmosphere of Italy.

Listening to a fragment of a song.

Teacher : - You felt the beauty of this melody folk song and melodiousness Italian language? Do you think, without knowing the Italian language, you can understand general outline, what is this song about?

Children : - Probably about nature, a person expresses his love for someone or something.

Teacher : - Absolutely right. The song's lyrics describe the colorful coastal town of Santa Lucia on the shores of the Bay of Naples. Let's sing a short fragment of the song, first in Russian, then in Italian.

The teacher learns the melody and lyrics of the song with the children.

Teacher: - What language did you enjoy singing this song in?

Children : - The content is clearer in Russian, but the melody is sung better and sounds more beautiful in Italian.

Teacher : - Yes, the Italian language is unusually vocal. The song "Santa Lucia" is written in the genrebarcarolles , that is, songs on the water, songs of a boatman. "Barca" means "boat" in Italian.

Pay attention to the painting by Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, marine painter XIX century. By the way, P.I. Tchaikovsky, our Russian composer XIX century, who, as you know, traveled a lot to different countries, and also visited Italy. And there he listened carefully to the sound of folk melodies and songs. And he expressed his impressions in piece of music, a piece for piano called “Barcarolle”.

I’ll now perform a fragment of this piece, and you listen and tell me why the composer called the work that way: “Barcarolle”?

Children listen to a fragment of a play performed by a teacher.

Teacher : - So why did P. Tchaikovsky call the play “Barcarolle”, why the song on the water? How did the melody move? What kind of support was there? (Children note the melodiousness, length, smoothness of the melodic line and the soft swaying of the accompaniment, reminiscent of the splashing of waves.)

Teacher : - But in Italy they don’t only sing. There are Italian dances that have become a kind of symbol of the country and are known throughout the world. This is the dancetarantella.

There is a version that the name of this dance comes from the terrible tarantula spider, whose bite is fatal. And a person can avoid death by dancing the temperamental and passionate dance of the tarantella at a frantic pace. This dance is usually accompanied by playing the flute and hitting the tambourine. The melody of one very famous tarantella throughout the world was written by an Italian composer XIX century Gioachino Rossini.

Listen to the tarantella and understand the rhythmic basis of this dance.

Children listen to Tarantella by Gioachino Rossini.

Teacher : - What is the musical size, tarantella count?

Children They note the three-part structure of the dance, while some note the bipartite nature of the dance.

Teacher : - The musical size of the dance is 6/8, that is, there are six eighth beats in a musical measure. You can count in six counts or in bipartite time of three.

P.I. Tchaikovsky used the tarantella in the ballet “Swan Lake”. There is a fragment when guests from different countries come to Prince Siegfried’s ball and dance their national dances. And the Italian guests dance the tarantella.

Listen to the tarantella from the ballet and tell me if the melody of this dance is familiar to you?

Children listen to a fragment from the ballet “Swan Lake” by P.I. Tchaikovsky (scene at the ball)

Teacher : - Did you recognize the melody?(Children remember a piece from the piano cycle “ Children's album» ) This is the melody of the “Neapolitan Song”. Tchaikovsky once witnessed a scene in Naples, when a young man in love sang a serenade under the window of his beloved. The composer liked the melody of this song so much that he included it in the “Children’s Album”, and then it was performed in the ballet “Swan Lake”.

But it also happened, guys, that Italian children earned their living by singing.

The song “Pasta” tells us about this. By the way, pasta or macaroni is also a gastronomic symbol of Italy. Listen to the song and tell me, what dance rhythm is it based on?

The teacher performs 1 verse and chorus of the song. Children will learn the rhythm of the tarantella .

Vocal and choral work on the song . The teacher leads the children in chanting to the melody of the chorus of the song. Next, work on phrases, singing out loud, silently, in groups, etc.

Lesson summary.

Teacher: - Guys, did you like our musical journey through Italy? What genres of Italian music have you encountered today?(Barcarolle, tarantella). What composers' music was played during the lesson? (Rossini, Tchaikovsky ) What artists' paintings helped us feel the beauty of Italy? (Bogolyubov, Aivazovsky, Shchedrin). I think you will share your impressions with your friends and family. See you again!

Hello guys! Today in the lesson you will learn how and where music and musical instruments came from.

Ancient people began to speak and sing at the same time. Then they learned to extract from various items sounds. The first, very primitive musical instruments appeared.

People have long listened to the sounds of nature and heard music in them. Have you ever heard the music of bird voices, the music of rain, wind? Music lives everywhere, manifesting itself in different sounds.

V. Semernin “Music lives everywhere”

The wind sings barely audibly,

Linden sighs by the garden...

Sensitive music lives everywhere -

In the rustle of grass,

In the noise of the oak forests

You just need to listen.

The stream flows loudly,

Thunder falls from the sky -

This is its eternal melody

The world is filled with nature!

Your quiet tears

Willow drops at the ford...

The nightingales greet the night with a trill.

The sound of branches

Song of the rains

The world is filled with nature.

Birds meet the sunrise

The swallow is happy to see the sun!

Sensitive music lives everywhere, -

You just need to listen.

Guys, remember where else you heard the sounds of music? (children's answers)

Music- one of the types of art. Like painting, theater, poetry, it is an artistic reflection of life. Music serves to bring people together, awakens and maintains a sense of kinship in them, embodies social ideals, and helps everyone find the meaning of life.

Now I invite you to commit wonderful trip By Musical country. We will visit the City of Musical Instruments, visit the Treble Clef and take a walk through the City of Songs.

First we will go to visit the Treble Clef.

Two hooks - two squiggles,

Two tiny things

You can't open the door with them,

You can't even pick them up.

Not from the wardrobe,

Not from a clockwork bear,

And I'll tell you in advance:

Two keys to signs - notes.

Meet the treble clef (showing a picture of a treble clef)

Cheerful, cute,

Always on the second line,

He sits as if on a bench.

There is also a bass key. (showing a picture of a bass clef)

He is both kind and stern,

He's on the fourth line

Takes up space on the edge

The note "F" of the small octave

The bass key opens.

Guess the riddle:

“5 steps - ladder,

There is a song on the steps." (notes)

What notes do you know? (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si)

How are they located on the staff? (on the board there is a musical staff, children draw notes)

How can one not think about the fact that Beethoven turns the same well-known sounds of the scale: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si into the “Appassionata” and “Lunar” sonatas, Tchaikovsky into 12 pieces “The Seasons” and the opera “Eugene Onegin”, Khachaturian - in the famous waltz to Lermontov’s drama “Masquerade”, and Dunaevsky - in one of the most heartfelt songs about the capital of our Motherland “My Moscow”.

Of course, you understand that individual sounds are not music. Sounds must be organized into coherent musical speech.

Guys, if you truly love music, then make friends with the notes very, very tightly. Then an unknown world will open up to you musical sounds, you will learn to understand music and hear it in the surrounding nature. You will understand what a variety of melodies can be made up of just seven notes - girlfriends. They are the ones who make the world around us even more beautiful and kinder.

Now I invite you to solve musical puzzles (see attached)

Next competition “Musical words”:

1. Name an animal whose name contains the note “D” (turtle)

2. Name a plant whose name contains the note “salt” and another note. (beans)

3. Name a bird and a flower whose names contain the note “B” (tit, lilac)

4. Name a bird and a plant whose names contain the note “C” (hoopoe, plantain)

Competition “One note at a time”: in one minute you need to remember words that have syllables - notes.

They play to music, they sing to music,

The kids are dancing to the music all around.

I invite you to perform the “Ducklings” dance.

And now on our way is the city of Musical Instruments.

Do you know the residents of this city? Name them.

Now guess what instrument we are talking about.

Louder than a flute, louder than a violin,

Our giant is louder than trumpets,

It's rhythmic, it's different,

Our cheerful... (drum)

The drum (showing the picture) is a percussion instrument. This is the most ancient instrument in the world. More primitive man beat out rhythms on mammoth bones, wooden blocks, and clay jugs. Drums thunder during military campaigns, ceremonies, and folk festivals. Drums are used in all types of orchestras: symphonic, sacred, folk, pop, jazz. IN symphony orchestra the drums represent thunderclaps and cannon fire. Students march solemnly along Red Square with a drum military music school, opening the military parade.

I present to you another tool.

The smooth movements of the bow make the strings tremble,

The tune sounds from afar, singing about the lunar wind.

How clear the sounds are overflowing, there is joy and a smile in them.

It sounds like a dreamy tune, I call it... (violin)

Look at this most delicate and beautiful of string instruments(showing a picture). Ancient ancestor The modern violin - a Slavic instrument - consisted of a dugout wooden trough covered with a flat plate, three strings, and a bow-shaped bow. It was truly a national instrument: wandering musicians, traveling from city to city, from country to country, played such violins at fairs. The violin was not allowed into the palaces where the voice of the viola sounded. The first violins in their modern form appeared in Europe at the beginning of the 16th century. The Italian masters Amati, Guarneri, and Stradivari are known all over the world. On instruments created by the hands of these Italian violin makers, played by outstanding violinists of the world.

Now listen to riddles about other instruments.

1. Stretch, not rubber;

With valves, not a machine;

Sings songs, not radio. (accordion)

2. He looks like a brother to the button accordion,

Where there is fun, there he is.

I won't give any hints

Are you familiar... (accordion)

3. Wrinkled Tit

Amuses the whole village (harmonic)

Accordion, accordion and button accordion are wind keyboard instruments. With the help of bellows, air is pumped in, causing metal plates - reeds - to vibrate. This is how sound arises. The first hand accordion was made in 1822. There are many varieties of Russian accordion - Livenka, Yeletskaya, Khromka, Saratov, Tula, etc. S. Yesenin, A. Tvardovsky, A. Prokofiev and other poets wrote poems about the accordion. Accordion and button accordion accompany all village holidays. Nowadays, the button accordion, a type of accordion, is widespread. The accordion got its name from the legendary ancient Russian singer - the storyteller Bayan.

What kind of tools are these?

1. Which instrument has both strings and a pedal?

What is this? Undoubtedly, this is our glorious... (piano)

2. There is a cabinet: when you open the lid, your teeth stick out.

You press with your fingers and you get sounds. (piano)

At the end of the 18th century, the Italian master Bartolomeo Cristofori created new look keyboard instrument. In its improved form, it became known as the piano. The piano is a keyboard and percussion instrument. When you press a key, the string is struck by a special wooden hammer covered with felt. The main quality of this instrument is its bright, melodious sound and the ability to play it very loudly and very quietly. Hence the name of the instrument - piano (loud - quiet). Modern varieties of pianos are the grand piano and upright piano. They differ in the shape and arrangement of the strings (a grand piano has strings stretched horizontally, while a piano has strings stretched vertically). The first composer who began to write specifically for piano was German composer Ludwig Van Beethoven.

What tools are we talking about?

1. We’re happy to play a seven-string by the fire... (guitar)

2. Triangle, three strings

Come out dancers (balalaika)

The balalaika is a relative of the guitar, only it has only three strings. In the 18th-19th centuries. she was perhaps the most common musical instrument. People danced to it during holidays, sang songs, and told tales about it. More than a hundred years ago, music lovers paid attention to the balalaika and wanted to give a simple, “peasant” instrument new life so that it sounds in concert halls. First of all, the balalaika was improved, and in 1887. They created a “Circle of Balalaika Lovers” in St. Petersburg, which was later transformed into the Great Russian Orchestra.

And now we are going to the city of Songs.

The song is the oldest and most widespread musical genre nowadays. They say about the song that it was born with a person. IN ancient greek myths, which appeared thousands of years before our era, we find stories about the power of influence of songs. Singing of the muses, patroness of poetry and different types arts, accompanied by the sounds of the golden cithara played by the sun god Apollo, was so beautiful that silence reigned all around, and even Ares, the god of war, forgot about the noise of bloody battles.

The legendary singer Orpheus not only brought pleasure with his singing, but also pacified wild animals. The name Orpheus has become synonymous with a wonderful singer; his lyre, on which he accompanied himself, is an emblem of art, and the singing of the muses left us with a great word - music.

Since time immemorial, the song, which has become an expression of noble, high feelings, has acquired the ability among all nations to excite human hearts and help people in life.
