Guys, do you like fairy tales?

Which ones do you like best?

Are you familiar with fairy tales? English writer Lewis Caroll? Name them.

In one of Lewis Carroll's fairy tales "Alice in Wonderland" there is a funny heroine Sonya and these strange lines:

“They also drew all sorts of things that started with the letter “M.” They drew mousetraps, a month, mathematics, a lot... Have you ever seen how they draw a lot?

Lots of what? - asked Alice.

“Nothing,” answered Sonya, “just a lot.”

But even the heroes of this amazing fairy tale It didn’t occur to me to draw another word starting with the letter “M”.

Which one do you think?

That's right, music!

Think about what I should write on the board after the word topic?

Let's draw music?

Draw music? It's just like drawing a thought! Is this even possible? If possible, how?

Today, answering this question, we will try to not only hear the quivering sounds of music, but also see them and even draw them.

The music is full of colors

And she lives in everyone.

Who draws everything in himself,

Who paints on canvas -

But everywhere let your brush

Ruled by feelings

Both inside and outside.

Music! What is music? Can we see her?

Schoolgirl Ira Isakova tried to answer this question in the song “Music”.

“Music” by G. Struve, I. Isakov.

Learning a song.

Execution by canon.

Did the song have a sense of completion? Usually there is always a period at the end of the song. Why isn't she here? Think about it.

What means of musical expression help us understand and see the content of a musical work?

(melody, mode, tempo, timbre, dynamics, register)

It turns out there is a close relationship between music and fine arts.

Let's compare works of painting and music from the point of view of dynamics.

What do you think sounds louder?<) объект, изображённый на переднем плане или то, что составляет его фон?

What element of musical expressiveness can be compared (likened) to the contrast of colors in painting? (Lada).

What is timbre responsible for? (sound color). Timbre is capable of expressing not only a variety of sounds, but also a variety of colors and shades.

What colors go with sad music? (cold, dim).

For fun? (bright, warm).

What graphic image does the melody have?

People of art have always been concerned with the problem of the synthesis of music and painting. The work of the classic of Lithuanian music, composer and artist is unique M. Ciurlionis (1875 - 1911).

His paintings are independent paintings that contain all the musical elements. But they are conveyed graphically, by means of drawing, space, and colors.

Looking at the paintings “Sonata of the Sea” by Čiurlionis, let’s compare the melody with the lines in the drawing.

"Sonata of the Sea" (Andante) “Sonata of the Sea” (finale).

What graphic representation of “melody” do you see here?

In what mode does the picture “sound”?

What is the “dynamics” of the work?

What can you say about "tempo"?

What shades does the “register” give to the work?

Pay attention to the title of the reproduction “Sonata of the Sea”. Based on this name, one can assume that this is a piece of music, and only then a painting.

How was M. Čiurlionis able to see music?

Can we see the music? How? (Introduce)

This means that music can be imagined and drawn. Therefore, I erase the question mark after the topic “Drawing Music” and put a full stop.

Drawing music.

Physical education minute.

Often in our imagination we turn into heroes of fairy tales and films. Let's now try to turn into a bird. One of the most beautiful birds is the swan: white as snow, with a long flexible neck and a golden beak.

Lift your chin up, straighten your back, straighten your shoulders. You are beautiful. Close your eyes.

The music of E. Grieg “Morning” is playing.

Let's breathe like swans - inhale, exhale. After inhaling, say to yourself: “I am a swan.” Then exhale. Inhale. “I am a swan,” exhale. Inhale. “I am a swan” - exhale. The swan's neck is elongated, its back is straight and proud. Spread your arms wide. Now bend your knees a little, and... straighten up sharply... inhale and oh, a miracle. We took off.

You can flap your wings freely. Inhale, exhale. The body is like feathers, light, we don’t feel it at all. (We rise on our toes up and down). How joyful and free.

Clear, blue sky around, pleasant soft coolness, silence, peace. Inhale, exhale. Below us the lake shines like a mirror. You can look closely and see yourself. What a beautiful, proud bird. Inhale, exhale.

We are flying smoothly. Let's go lower, lower, even lower... the forest, field, houses, people are already very close.

And then my feet lightly touched the ground. Let's stretch our necks, straighten our shoulders, lower our wings.

It was a wonderful flight! (Have a seat.)

Conversation.

French artists and composers - impressionists (“impression”, translated from French, impression) resorted to the free play of imagination.

Impressionist artists used pure color, trying not to mix colors on the palette and not to add black and gray tones. Due to their unique painting style, the surface of the Impressionists’ paintings seems to be quivering, unsteady, thanks to which they were able to convey the shine of the sun’s rays, ripples on the water, a smile flashing on a person’s lips.

There is a picture in front of you Auguste Renoir "The Bay of Moulin Huet". In his paintings, the artist set himself the task of making human figures part of the landscape, enveloping them in air and color.

Many of the musical works belong to Claude Debussy, a French impressionist composer. Picturesqueness is already present in the titles of the works: “Sunken Cathedral”, “Steps in the Snow”, “Girl with Flaxen Hair”, “Moonlight”.

The music of C. Debussy does not evoke such specific ideas, nevertheless it produces the impression of vivid musical paintings.

Claude Debussy "Moonlight on a Terrace" (listening).

Differentiated creative tasks.

While listening to music:

Draw a musical landscape.

Write a miniature essay (see Appendix 1).

Solve the crossword puzzle (see Appendix 2).

Organize an exhibition of drawings.

Answer the crossword questions.

Conversation.

The desire to “see music”, “to connect color and music” and “to hear color” is as ancient as the desire of a person to fly into the sky or find eternal youth.

Can sound even have color? The Russian artist V. Kandinsky was one of the first to understand that “color” in the variety of its manifestations, lines that form various geometric shapes, in itself gives rise to emotions and creates moods. V. Kandinsky insisted: “Yellow included in geometric forms is unbearable, like the sharp sound of a trumpet; “red contains boiling and heat, enormous power, reminiscent of fanfare and trumpets.”

Like a composer in music, Kandinsky sought to gain the ability to freely express feelings. He created watercolors - a random arrangement of colorful spots and lines that do not depict or designate anything. But, upon closer inspection, the spots seem to come to life.

The accumulated experience pushed other artists to a desperate experiment: to capture sounds on canvas, to record for the eye what was intended for the ear. At exhibitions in different countries in the 1920s, paintings with unusual titles for painting appeared. Here they are: “Nacturne No. 2” by F. Chopin, “Romance” by G. Sviridov.

And even if these pictures are not clear to everyone and even mysterious, but in the mystery of art lies a huge all-consuming power.

After the above, I can confidently erase the period after the title of the topic “Drawing Music” and put an exclamation point.

Let's draw music!

Lesson structure and flow

STRUCTURE AND PROGRESS OF THE LESSON

Horizontally:

The coloring of sound in music is one of the means for creating musical pictures.

A combination of sounds and chords.

A means of musical expression.

Alternation of long and short sounds.

Speed ​​of movement in music.

A large group of instrumental musicians.

Organization of sounds in music around the main sound - the tonic.

Vertically:

This is the name given to a musical picture created symphonic orchestra.

Each art has its own special language, its own means of expression. In painting it is drawing and paints. Using them skillfully, the artist creates a picture. A poet, writing poetry, speaks to us in the language of words; he uses poetic speech and rhymes. The poetic word is an expressive means of the art of poetry. The basis of dance art is dance, dramatic art is acting.

Music has its own special language - the language of sounds. And it also has its own expressive means: register, melody, rhythm, size, tempo, mode, dynamics, timbre, texture and meter.

Different elements of musical language (height, longitude, volume, color of sounds, etc.) help composers express different moods and create different musical images. These elements of musical language are also called means of musical expression. Let's take a closer look at them.

Melody

This is the basis of any musical work, its thought, its soul. Without melody, music is unthinkable. The melody can be different - smooth and abrupt, cheerful and sad.

Register

A register is a part of the range, a certain pitch of a voice or a musical instrument.

There are:

- high register (light, airy, transparent sound),
- middle register (associations with the human voice),
- low register (serious, gloomy or humorous sound).

Rhythm

In any music, in any song, in addition to the melody, rhythm is very important. Everything in the world has a rhythm. Our heart is our heart rate; There are brain rhythms, there is a circadian rhythm - morning, afternoon, evening and night. The change of seasons is the rhythm of the planet.

Rhythm, translated from Greek, means “measurement” - this is a uniform alternation, repetition of short and long sounds. The rhythm in different dances is well understood. Everyone understands what rhythm we are talking about when they say: the rhythm of a waltz, march, tango.

Music without rhythm is perceived as a collection of sounds rather than a melody. It influences one or another character of the music. Smooth rhythm gives a piece of music lyricism. The intermittent rhythm creates a feeling of anxiety and agitation.

Thus, rhythm is a sequence of sounds of the same or different durations.

Sounds of different durations are combined into rhythmic groups, which make up the rhythmic pattern of the work.

Types of rhythmic patterns

The repetition of identical durations in works of slow or moderate tempo creates a calm, balanced image.

In works of fast tempo - etudes, toccatas, preludes - the repetition of identical durations (sixteenths of duration are often found) gives the music an energetic, active character.

More often there are rhythmic groups united by notes of different durations. They form a variety of rhythmic patterns.

The following rhythmic figures are less common:

• Dotted rhythm (characteristic of marching, dancing) - sharpens and activates movement.
• Syncopation is the movement of emphasis from a strong beat to a weak beat. Syncopation creates the effect of surprise.
• Triplet - division of duration into three equal parts. Triplets give ease of movement.
• Ostinato is the repeated repetition of one rhythmic figure.

Size

To write the rhythm on paper, use the so-called musical time signature. With its help, musicians understand at what rhythm and tempo they need to play music. Musical time signatures are different and are written in fractions: two quarters, three quarters, etc. In order to accurately follow the rhythm, when learning a new melody, a musician must count: one and, two and.... And so on, depending on the size.

Pace

This is the speed at which a piece of music is performed. The pace can be fast, slow and moderate. Italian words are used to indicate tempo, which are understood by all musicians in the world. For example, fast tempo - allegro, presto; moderate tempo - andante; slow - adagio.

Some musical genres have their own constant, definite meters, and therefore they are easily recognizable by ear: a waltz has three quarters, a fast march has two quarters.

Lad

There are two contrasting modes in music - major and minor. Major music is perceived by listeners as light, clear, joyful, and minor music is perceived as sad and dreamy.

Timbre

1. High - soprano, tenor.
2. Middle - mezzo-soprano, baritone.
3. Low - alto, bass.

A choir is a large group of singers (at least 12 people), similar to an orchestra in instrumental music.

Choir types:

• masculine (dense, bright timbre),
• female (warm, transparent timbre),
• mixed (full-sounding, rich, bright timbre),
• children's choir (light, light timbre).

Symphony orchestra instrument groups

The instruments in the orchestra are distributed among their families - the musicians call them orchestral groups. There are four of them in the orchestra:
- Stringed instruments
— Woodwind instruments
— Brass instruments
- Percussion instruments

Dynamics

Dynamics is the degree of loudness of a piece of music.

Muted dynamics are associated with calm, bright, or aching sad moods. Strong dynamics express energetic, active or intense images.

Basic designations of dynamic shades:

• Piano pianissimo - ppp - extremely quiet
• Pianissimo - pp - very quiet
• Piano - p - quiet
• Mezzo piano - mp - not very quiet
• Mecco forte - mf - not very loud
• Forte - f - loud
• Fortissimo - ff - very loud
• Forte fortissimo - fff - extremely loud

Designations for changing sound intensity:

Crescendo - cresc. - strengthening
Sforzando - sforc., sfc., sf. - suddenly intensifying
Subito forte - sub.f. - suddenly loud
Diminuendo - dim. - reducing, weakening the sound
Decrescendo -decresc. - weakening
Smorzando - smorc. - freezing
Morendo - morendo - freezing

The increase in dynamics is associated with increased tension and preparation for the climax. Dynamic climax is the peak of increasing dynamics, the highest point of tension in the work. The weakening of the dynamics gives rise to a feeling of relaxation and calm.

Meter

Meter is a uniform alternation of strong and weak beats of a beat (pulsation).

In musical notation, the meter is expressed in size (the upper number of the size indicates how many beats are in a measure, and the lower number indicates how long the fraction of a meter in a given measure is expressed), and bars (so t is the length of time from one strong beat to the next beat of equal strength), separated by bar lines.

Basic types of meter

• Strict meter - strong and weak beats alternate evenly
• Free meter - accents are distributed unevenly; in modern music, time signatures may not be indicated or there may be no division into measures.
• Double meter - one strong and one weak beat (/-) e.g. polka or march.
• Triple meter - one strong and two weak beats (/—), for example, waltz.
• Polymetry is a simultaneous combination of bipartite and tripartite meter.
• Variable meter - changes throughout the work.

Depending on the number of strong fractions, meters are:

• Simple - having only one strong beat (bipartite, for example 24 or tripartite, for example 34 or 38).
• Complex - a combination of simple identical meters (only two-part, for example 44 = 24 + 24 or only three-part, for example 68 = 38 + 38).
• Mixed - a combination of meters of different types (bipartite and tripartite) (for example, 54 = 24 + 34, or 34 + 24, or 74 = 24 + 24 +34, etc.).

Characteristic metrorhythmic features of some dances:

• Polka - 24, rhythmic groups with sixteenth notes.
• Waltz - 34, accompaniment with an emphasis on the first beat.
• March - 44, dotted rhythm.

Harmony

Translated from Greek, harmonia means consonance.

Harmony- this is the combination of sounds into various consonances (chords) and their sequences.

The main element of harmony is a chord - a simultaneous combination of three or more sounds of different pitches.

Types of chords:

By number of sounds:
— Triads are chords of three sounds. Types of triads: major, minor, diminished, augmented.
— Seventh chords – chords of four sounds, etc.

According to the interval structure:
— chords of second structure (clusters)
- tertian chords (triad, seventh chord)
- chords of fourth structure (quart chords)
— chords of fifth structure (quint chords).

In classical music, harmony is euphonious (based on consonances); chords of the tertian structure are mainly used.

In modern music, harmony can sound sharp (such sharp consonances are called dissonances), and can be very complex; unusual consonances are widely used - the simultaneous combination of seconds, fourths, fifths and other intervals.

Texture

Texture is a warehouse, a type of presentation of a musical work (Latin fakturo - processing).
The main elements of texture: melody, accompaniment (accompaniment), bass (lower voice), middle voices.
The texture can be transparent (two- or three-voice), causing a feeling of lightness and transparency. The dense (polyphonic, chordal) texture creates the impression of strength and power.

A polyphonic type of music, in which one voice is the main one (melody), and the rest (accompaniment) accompany it. A type of homophonic texture is the chord structure of music, in which the melody is rhythmically combined with accompaniment.
Polyphony (Greek poly-many, phone-sound) is a simultaneous combination of several independent voices (melodies).

Main types of polyphony

• Imitation item - (Latin Imitatio - imitation) repetition in another voice or with another instrument of the melody (theme) that has just been heard. E.g. canon, fugue or invention
• Contrast p. - simultaneous sound of different types of melodies. For example, in the Middle Ages they combined three different melodies with different texts. Main types of invoice:
  Forms of imitative polyphony:
• Canon is a musical form in which all voices perform the same melody, entering alternately.
• Invention is a small two- or three-voice instrumental work written in an imitation technique.
• A fugue is a polyphonic work of many voices, which is based on the imitative repetition of a theme in all voices. The highest, most complex form of imitative polyphony. The greatest fugue master was J. S. Bach.
• Fugetta (Italian fughetta - small fugue) is a simple, smaller fugue for organ or piano.

Strokes

A very important means of musical expression is strokes. They indicate the style of sound engineering and depend on the nature of the work.

• Legato - (legato) involves coherent, smooth sound production.
• Staccato - (staccato) - abrupt production of sounds. Staccato is indicated by a dot above or below the notes. The sounds when played staccato are short, with small jolts, light accents and caesuras between sounds.
• Non legato – (non legato) – incoherent, unsmooth performance. Sound engineering with slight emphasis on each sound of the melody. In this case, the sounds should be full, as when performed legato, and the caesuras between sounds should be shortened. Sounds are emphasized, but not as sharply as in staccato. Every sound sounds distinct.

It is difficult to find in nature anything more beautiful and majestic than the sea element. Constantly changing, endless, beckoning into the distance, shimmering with different colors, sounding - it attracts and fascinates, it is pleasant to contemplate it. The image of the sea was glorified by poets, the sea was painted by artists, the melodies and rhythms of its waves formed the musical lines of the works of many composers.

Two symphonic poems about the sea

The French impressionist composer C. Debussy’s passion for the beauty of the sea was reflected in a number of his works: “Island of Joy”, “Sirens”, “Sails”. The symphonic poem “The Sea” was written by Debussy almost from life - under the impression of contemplating the Mediterranean Sea and the ocean, as the composer himself admitted.

The sea wakes up (part 1 - “From dawn to noon on the sea”), sea waves gently splash, gradually accelerating their run, the sun’s rays make the sea shimmer with bright colors. Next comes the “Wave Games” - serene and joyful. The contrasting finale of the poem - “Dialogue of Wind and Sea” depicts a dramatic atmosphere in which both raging elements reign.

C. Debussy Symphonic poem “The Sea” in 3 parts

Seascape in the works of M.K. Čiurlionis, a Lithuanian composer and artist, is presented in sounds and colors. His symphonic poem “The Sea” flexibly reflects the bizarre changes of the sea element, sometimes majestic and calm, sometimes gloomy and frantic. And in the cycle of his paintings “Sonata of the Sea”, each of the 3 artistic canvases has the name of parts of the sonata form. Moreover, the artist transferred not only names into painting, but also built the logic of the development of artistic material according to the laws of the dramaturgy of sonata form. The painting “Allegro” is full of dynamics: raging waves, sparkling pearl and amber splashes, a seagull flying over the sea. The mysterious "Andante" shows a mysterious city frozen at the bottom of the sea, a slowly sinking sailboat that stopped in the hand of an imaginary colossus. The majestic finale presents a harsh, huge and swift wave looming over the small boats.

M. Čiurlionis Symphonic poem “Sea”

Genre contrasts

The seascape is present in all existing musical genres. Representation of the sea element in music is an integral part of N.A.’s work. Rimsky-Korsakov. His Symphonic painting “Scheherazade”, the operas “Sadko” and “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” are full of superbly created pictures of the sea. Each of the three guests in the opera “Sadko” sings about his own sea, and it appears either cold and formidable in the Varangian’s, or splashes mysteriously and tenderly in the story of a guest from India, or plays with shining reflections off the coast of Venice. It is interesting that the characters of the characters presented in the opera surprisingly correspond to the pictures of the sea they painted, and the seascape created in the music is intertwined with the complex world of human experiences.

ON THE. Rimsky-Korsakov – Song of the Varangian Guest

A. Petrov is a famous master of cinematic music. More than one generation of moviegoers fell in love with the film “Amphibian Man.” He owes much of his success to the music behind the scenes. A. Petrov found rich means of musical expression to create a picture of mysterious underwater life with all its bright colors and smooth movements of sea inhabitants. The rebellious land sounds contrast sharply with the maritime idyll.

A. Petrov “Sea and Rumba” (Music from the song “Amphibian Man”

The beautiful endless sea sings its eternal wondrous song, and, picked up by the creative genius of the composer, it acquires new facets of existence in music.

The sea bewitches, the sea kills, excites, frightens, and also makes you laugh, sometimes disappears, on occasion it disguises itself as a lake or piles up storms, devours ships, bestows riches, does not give answers; it is wise, and gentle, and strong, and unpredictable. But the main thing is that the sea is calling.
Alessandro Baricco “Sea-ocean”

It is difficult to find in nature anything more beautiful and majestic than the sea element. Constantly changing, endless, beckoning into the distance, shimmering with different colors, sounding - it attracts and fascinates, it is pleasant to contemplate it. The image of the sea was glorified by poets, the sea was painted by artists, the melodies and rhythms of its waves formed the musical lines of the works of many composers.

The symphonic poem “The Sea” was written by C. Debussy almost from life - under the impression of contemplating the Mediterranean Sea and the ocean, as the composer himself admitted.

The sea wakes up (part 1 - “From dawn to noon on the sea”), sea waves gently splash, gradually accelerating their run, the sun’s rays make the sea shimmer with bright colors. Next comes the “Wave Games” - serene and joyful. The contrasting finale of the poem, “Dialogue of Wind and Sea,” paints a dramatic atmosphere in which both raging elements reign.

Seascape in creativity M.K. Ciurlionis - Lithuanian composer and artist, presented in sounds and colors.

In his symphonic poem "The Sea" The bizarre changes in the sea elements are flexibly reflected, sometimes majestic and calm, sometimes gloomy and frantic. And in the cycle of his paintings “Sonata of the Sea”, each of the 3 artistic canvases has the name of parts of the sonata form. Moreover, the artist transferred not only names into painting, but also built the logic of the development of artistic material according to the laws of the dramaturgy of sonata form.

The painting “Allegro” is full of dynamics: raging waves, sparkling pearl and amber splashes, a seagull flying over the sea. The mysterious "Andante" shows a mysterious city frozen at the bottom of the sea, a slowly sinking sailboat that stopped in the hand of an imaginary colossus. The majestic finale presents a harsh, huge and swift wave looming over the small boats.

The seascape is present in all existing musical genres. Representation of the sea element in music is an integral part of creativity ON THE. Rimsky-Korsakov. His symphonic picture “Scheherazade”, opera “Sadko”, are filled with superbly created pictures of the sea.

Each of the three guests in the opera “Sadko” sings about his own sea, and it appears either cold and menacing in the Varangian, or splashes mysteriously and tenderly in the story of a guest from India, or plays with shining reflections off the coast of Venice.

It is interesting that the characters of the characters presented in the opera surprisingly correspond to the pictures of the sea they painted, and the seascape created in the music is intertwined with the complex world of human experiences.

Andrey Petrov- a famous master of cinematic music. More than one generation of moviegoers fell in love with the film. "Amphibian Man". He owes much of his success to the music sounding behind the scenes. The composer found rich means of musical expression to create a picture of mysterious underwater life with all its bright colors and smooth movements of sea inhabitants. The rebellious land sounds contrast sharply with the maritime idyll.

Only to a person deeply indifferent to nature can the sea seem monotonous.
