Biography of folk songs
An article in PDF KB format in a modern sociocultural environment The problem of preserving folk singing culture is relevant. The importance of developing folk art is due to its impact on the spiritual world of man. Work on the preservation of folk ethnic musical culture contributes to the formation of the versatile personality traits, a sense of belonging to their people, and preserving moral norms developed by previous generations.
In recent years, in society there has been an increasing interest in the study of folk art, in the development of folk songs. In addition to the development of the work of amateur folk collectives, the implementation of educational programs in the education system of children and youth, this is manifested through the revival of ancient holidays and rites. It should be noted that today it is noticeable to increase the number of specialized literature on folk musical creativity, the appearance of special programs on folklore and ethnography on television and radio.
All this indicates an increase in the significance of folk musical culture in the development of national feelings, the formation of mentality. It should be noted that folk culture largely loses its position in the regulation of social behavior and in the transfer of moral norms and values. Now, in the field of culture, it is not rare, emphasis goes on commercial art, which gradually displaces traditional folk musical creativity.
Along with the original folk works, a song, dance, a tank, crafts, in which the “soul of the people” reflected, a considerable place in the media and TV is occupied by the so -called music stylized under antiquity, a work that gives a complete idea of a folk song, suit, ornaments. Mass culture further leads people from folk traditions and folklore forms of creativity, singing, dance, games on a folk instrument, but, develops low -grade tastes and lands a person’s creative aspirations.
In addition, educational programs, pedagogical technologies, developed on the basis of traditional singing culture, few highly qualified specialists who are able to teach young generation of folk singing are not sufficiently implemented. In this regard, the fruits of scientific and technological progress are impoverishment of emotions and feelings in a modern person, since people are absorbed in television programs, acquire the latest audio and video equipment, are fond of computer games, and do not engage in creativity, devoid of interpersonal communication.
And the result of this cultural globalization is that today in everyday life you can rarely hear a Russian folk song, even among the older generation. And yet, it can be happy to note that now in such a metropolis as St. Petersburg, lovers of Russian folk art have not disappeared. Russian folk songs form the basis of the repertoire of many amateur vocal and choral groups, whose participants perform them with pleasure.
One of such choral groups supporting Russian folk traditions that introduce forms of creativity on the basis of folklore into their activities is the “folk” collective of the choir of Russian song of the House of Culture and Technology “Proletarian”, whose artistic director Sergey Grigoryevich Hopkalo has been working for many years. The collective’s repertoire has multi -trinket folk songs of the middle strip of Russia, the songs of Russian and Soviet composers.
Russian folk songs, polyphonic, lingering sound convincingly, fascinating both performers and listeners, involving the “living” consonant, images, a bright musical canvas in the world. Otherwise, round dance, game and dance songs are performed. For the most complete disclosure of their character, content, rhythmic impact on all participants in creativity, elements of folk dance, dance, round dance are included.
The main goal of the creative work of the collective is to preserve folk song culture and vocal and aesthetic education on its basis. One of the main tasks is to reveal the beauty of the Russian song, in which there is passion, and strength, and enthusiasm, and deep sadness, and which, as I. Turgenev wrote in the famous story "Singers", "... so enough for his heart, right behind his Russian strings." Today, about 30 people are engaged in the team.
The age of the participants is different: from 27 to 65 years. The foundation of the choir is singers, which for many years are regularly found at rehearsals, concerts. In recent years, the team has been replenished with new participants, who are always happy to accept even those who are not entirely sure of their vocal data. The atmosphere of co -creation in the choir contributes to the disclosure of creative abilities, the development of vocal skills, and the versatile formation of personality.
People change, and not only transformed externally. As a result of classes, optimism, interest in life appears in the choir, the general cultural level, and education increase.This allows us to argue that the folk song helps a person in the present difficult time, contributes to the formation of character, a sense of proportion, simplicity, modesty, goodwill, friendliness, and has a great influence on the education of ethnope culture, and the culture of interpersonal communication.
As one of the means of aesthetic education and education of creativity in man, like any art, a folk song can bring deep aesthetic satisfaction. Truthfully reflecting real life, objective reality, its essential sides, the folk song is able to have an active educational and moral impact on people, on their labor and creative activity, develop a person’s internal culture, communication, makes it possible to have a meaningful time, find like -minded people.
All this indicates the social significance of folk singing culture. The Russian folk song, being the main type of musical creativity of the Russian people from ancient times, today requires a careful attitude.
The folk song, folk singing traditions should be passed on to the young generation, and only then will folk culture be developed, and will remain for future generations. The song is born in the bowels of the people and is the fruit of collective creativity. And this is one of the main properties of folklore should be taken into account in the work of modern social institutions.
But today it is a folk song is available, understandable and fully visible only to specialists of ethno -music culture, cultural and art figures, and few fans of folk art. Therefore, now the main problem of preserving and developing Russian folk singing culture, folk song, is, if neither its return to the life of the people, then at least a deep study, development through the introduction of educational programs, creative projects on the basis of active independent activity and creativity.
