Mordovian composer biography

We listen to the music of the composers of Mordovia at home. Leonid Ivanovich Voinov - for the city of Saransk - is also the day of the city. But for Mordovia, this day is also famous for the fact that this is the birthday of a talented composer, an extraordinary artist on Balalaik, People's Artist of the Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and Honored Artist of the RSFSR, founder of the first Mordovia of the People’s Orchestra, who bears his name - Leonid Ivanovich Voinov.

Its biography is practically inextricably linked with the city of Temniks of our republic. It was here that he was born in the year. In this city, children's and youth years of the composer were held. It was here that the formation of his creative personality began. Musical abilities were manifested early. It is known that at first he learned to play the violin. His father Ivan Voinov was a violinist.

From his father, the future composer adopted the love of string instruments. While studying at the gymnasium, Leonid was carried away by a balalaika. The hobby and music classes among young people supported, first of all, the director of the gymnasium A. He acquired for the gymnasium a set of instruments of a Russian string orchestra, and for learning gymnasium students the basics of musical literacy and singing invited Music teachers P.

Thanks to such a successful combination of circumstances and, of course, his perseverance, temperament and hard work, L. soldiers and from the warriors transferred to the gymnasium were organized by a student orchestra, which so far spoke only within the walls of this educational institution. When the warriors ended the gymnasium in the year, the orchestra broke up.

The soldiers thought to continue their studies at Kazan University, but the events of the years returned him to his native land. At this difficult time for the country, the time of global changes, huge social shocks, the collapse of the old regime and the beginning of the construction of the new state, the soldiers of L. Voiners remembered the instruments in the gymnasium and with a group of the same as he himself, the enthusiasts decided to organize the orchestra again, but as the urban one.

Young people energetically got down to business: they themselves put the tools, complemented their own, made puppies, painted notes, and prepared the program in an extremely short time. The first concert took place on March 20. Temnikovsky listeners appreciated the game of the orchestra. Since that time, a wonderful musical team began its way. The Penza newspaper “Rabi Pravda” in the year wrote about the concert of the Temnikovsky Orchestra in Krasnoslobodsk “The Concert of the Temnikovsky Orchestra had great artistic value.

We sincerely wish that, as possible as possible the number of citizens of our outbacks, to listen to such a delicious game of the Temnikovsky Balalayer Orchestra. Professor of the Moscow Conservatory A. Goldenweiser, who visited Temnikov in August, also left a positive review of the orchestra. During its existence, the orchestra has become a kind of music school for Mordovian youth of that time.

These village boys and girls were literally fascinated. With hidden attention, they listened to the music that was not quite understandable to them, and besides for the first time they saw how the orchestra plays, how the conductor controls it. A year or two pass. Of course, one cannot but mention the role of the orchestra of Russian folk instruments by V. Andreev in the formation of the Temnikovsky orchestra.

Already at the beginning of the 10ths, creative ties were established between the two groups, which later only strengthened. The Andreevs approved the work of the orchestra, gave him valuable methodological and practical instructions. Skobtsov, I. Yaushev, M. Antonova, E. Gribova, E. Okhotin and many others. The orchestra and individual musicians were repeatedly awarded with certificates of honor, and its founder, conductor and composer L., the team many times became a laureate of various views and festivals of amateur art of workers who passed in different cities of our country.

From the year, L. Voinov, in addition to working with the orchestra, begins active pedagogical and composer. The first musical opuses performed by the orchestra were the processing of Russian folk songs, revolutionary songs in a shortion for the orchestra, as well as the works of Russian and foreign classics, the music of Grieg, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Mussorgsky.

The first independent opus in his work was the opera for the Pushkin plot “The Tale of the Priest and his employee Balde”, written in the year. Already in it the two main lines of Voinov’s work were reflected - a support on the folk song and a gravity for fabulous, picturesque images present in the music of romantics. Voinov’s line for the work of Voinov turned out to be a meeting, and subsequently, close creative communication, with Kiryukov L.

since that time, the soldiers in their writings are based, first of all, on Mordovian folklore. This is especially noticeable in the works of the X - early X periods: “Fantasy on Mordovian themes” for the orchestra of folk instruments, “The Tale of Mordovia” of the Cantata,Erka, “Fantasy on two Mordovian themes for balalaika with piano”, Mordovian dance for balalaika with piano, two concerts for balalaika with an orchestra, Mordovian suite for the orchestra of folk instruments in 3 parts, Mordovian tunes for violin and piano, Mordovian rapeadia for the orchestra of folk instruments.

A little later, the cantata for the choir and the symphony orchestra "Territory of the native" sl were written. Erkui, Mordovian march for the orchestra of folk instruments, symphonette on Mordovian topics in 3 parts. At the same time, in many works of L. warriors, in the first suite “Forest Scenes”, “Noktyurne” from the second suite, the 2nd part of the Symphonietta, the scherzo from the second suite, the “procession on oriental themes” is a noticeable tendency to visual and fabulously characteristic programming.

In the postwar years, the composer more and more gravitates to the epic images of Symphonietta, the cantata “native land”, the overture “year”. But still, in the music of Voinov L., this is a youthful enthusiasm, optimism, a life -affirming worldview that is felt in each of his work. L. Voinov died on October 29 in Saransk, and the crowded funeral took place in Temnikov.

The government of Mordovia immortalized his memory in Temnikov with memorial boards on the building of the House of Culture and on the house where he lived. A house-museum was organized in his house. The solemn opening of the museum took place on June 13, and was dedicated to the anniversary of the birth of a famous countryman. In this house, built on the parental estate in the year, L.

Voinov lived for the past thirteen years. The first museum exposition consisted of two memorial rooms of the composer and the exhibition hall, where photos and documents from the personal archive of L. were presented on the stands and in the windows. Voinova, revealing the pages of his biography, inseparable from the stages of the formation and development of the orchestra. In the future, the museum funds were constantly replenished by exhibits, which were transmitted by musicians, relatives, friends and acquaintances.

And at present, the museum exposition has more genuine exhibits. A monument with its bas -relief was erected on the grave of Voinov. In the year of the music school in Temnikov, the name of L. was named after the year in the new area of ​​the lighting technology of the city of Saransk, one of the streets was named after the composer. From the year, the competition of performers on the balalaika and ensembles of folk instruments named after L.

Voinov, which is held under the patronage of the Kazan State Conservatory named after In the future, the competition has already acquired the status of the All -Russian and took a worthy place among other similar professional competitions.

Petersburg. We can say that the competition is gradually gaining popularity. Leonid Ivanovich Voinov made a significant contribution to the development of the professional art of our republic. He acted as an active enlightener, a talented musician, composer and is rightfully on a par with those whom we call the founders of Mordovian music. The traditions laid down by L. Voinov are continued in the work of modern Mordovian composers, primarily in the field of folk instrumental music.
