Hello guys! We are glad to see you at our unusual concert.

Today we will tell you about dance music. Dance has been around for as long as humanity. Dance is perhaps the oldest of the arts: it reflects the need of man, dating back to the earliest times, to convey to other people his joy or sorrow through his body. Almost all important events in the life of primitive man were celebrated with dances: birth, death, war, election of a new leader, healing of the sick. The dance expressed prayers for rain, sunlight, fertility, protection and forgiveness.

Dance is the art of movement in a certain rhythm. The nature and rhythm of these movements is associated with the traditions and living conditions of different peoples, each historical era.

   N. Dussek “Ancient Dance”

The main characteristics of dance are rhythm - relatively fast or relatively slow repetition and variation of basic movements; drawing - a combination of movements in a composition; dynamics - varying the scope and intensity of movements; technique - the degree of body control and skill in performing basic steps and positions. In many dances, gestures, especially hand movements, are also of great importance.

Minuet – dance of the 16th – 17th centuries, at a moderate tempo and three-beat size; The name comes from the French word menu (pas menu - “step”, “small step”). The minuet took the place of the chimes and was the main court dance from the mid-17th to the mid-18th centuries. Initially it was a rural dance, but then the minuet turned into an example of French court ballet. J. B. Lully was the first of the great composers to use the minuet, and King Louis XIV is believed to have been the first to dance the minuet at one of his balls. The characteristic features of the minuet are ceremonial bows, solemn passages forward, sideways and backward, graceful steps and easy gliding. From France, the minuet spread throughout Europe. In the 18th century it was included in keyboard suites (in three-part form: minuet - trio, the second minuet itself - minuet), occupying a place between a sarabande and a gigue. The minuet in the suite was interpreted as a moving dance in a simple texture. Unlike most dances of the Baroque era, the minuet did not disappear in subsequent eras, but became part of the cyclic form in classical sonatas and symphonies of the 17th and 19th centuries. The minuet of the classical period was strongly influenced by the Austrian peasant landler, as a result of which characteristic wide melodic moves and leaps appeared in the minuet. In W. A. ​​Mozart's Don Giovanni, the minuet, symbolizing aristocratic society, is written at a slow tempo, but the minuet in symphonies and sonatas has always been more fluid.

Sarabande – dance of the 17th - 18th centuries at a slow pace, in three-beat time. The name comes from the Persian word "sarband" - "ribbon fluttering around the head"; Songs of a certain genre also had a similar name. Initially it was a mischievous, riotous dance, but then, when it came to France at the beginning of the 17th century, the sarabande turned into a slow and important dance. In operas, the sarabande usually appeared as a symbol of the greatness of Spain. In the suites of J. S. Bach and G. F. Handel, the saraband is placed between the chime and the gigue, creating a tempo contrast.

Zhiga – English dance, common in the 16th century. The name comes from either the Old French word giguer ("to dance") or the Old English word giga (folk fiddle). At first, the jig was in 4/4 time; later, jigs began to be composed in 6/8 time with punctuated eighth notes. In the 17th and 18th centuries. The gigue (with the name in French - gigue) was included in the instrumental suite and became the finale in the sequence of the four main dances of the so-called. French suite. Often such gigs were composed in polyphonic form, with the second section developing a theme that was a reversal of the theme of the first section.

Counterdance - An old English folk dance. In country dance, dancers form two lines, facing each other - male and female, a wide variety of movements are used, often from other dances. Around 1685, country dance spread from England to the Netherlands and France and soon became one of the most beloved European dances. At first, country dance music resembled English gigs (as evidenced by Georg Muffat’s collection Florilegium secundum, 1698), but in the 18th – 19th centuries. Contredance became characterized by a dotted rhythm. Country dance often used folk tunes and other popular melodies. The best collection of such tunes is John Playford's collection The English Dancing Master (1651), which was followed by numerous collections of the same type. Country dances from the operas “Zoroaster” by Rameau and “Don Giovanni” by Mozart are famous. A popular song from the French Revolution, a ira, is based on a country dance melody.

When the mazurka thunder roared,
Everything in the huge hall was shaking,
The parquet cracked under the heel,
The frames shook and rattled;
Now it’s not the same...
But in cities, in villages
I also saved the mazurka
Initial beauties:
Jumps, heels, mustache
All the same...

Guys, let's talk about dance music of the 20th century. Looking back, there are many dances that were very fashionable in the last century. For example, at the beginning of the century, American dance appeared foxtrot , which translated means “fox step”. And many more different popular dances: rock and roll, boogie-woogie, twist, shake. Each previous dance gave way to a new one.
Charleston(Charleston). A dance in the nature of a fast foxtrot, which originated in the city of Charleston (South Carolina) and in 1925 conquered dance floors around the world. The dance is distinguished by a sharply accentuated rhythm, and when performing the dance, special emphasis is placed on syncopation. The earliest authors of Charleston were North American blacks (Cecil Mack, James P. Johnson, etc.). Erwin Schulhoff, in his Jazz Etudes for Piano (Etudes de Jazz, 1927), introduced the Charleston into professional musical art.

Tango - one of the most popular dances of the 20th century. In the middle of the 19th century, tango, which came from another Spanish province, Andalusia, spread to Seville (Spain). It was called Andalusian, but at the same time it was very similar to the Cuban habanera, which was called American tango there. A quarter of a century later, tango “traveled” to Argentina, where it became extremely fashionable and was enriched with the intonations of the Argentine song - dance - milonga. So at the beginning of the 20th century it penetrated into Europe and conquered everyone Argentine tango - slow and languid couple dance.

Various dance competitions are often broadcast on television, where you can see many dances of different styles and directions. And recently, television dance shows have appeared with the participation of famous artists and TV presenters: “Dancing with the Stars,” the ice show “Ice Age” and “Stars on Ice.” You guys probably watched these TV shows and could watch the movements of beautiful couples dancing tango - a mandatory number of the competition.

Modern composers also compose music in the tango style. Such plays are also found in the repertoire for students.

Bolero- another dance whose homeland is Spain. The dancers tap out an intricate and expressive rhythm using castanets or snapping their fingers. They are usually accompanied by a guitar and drum. Pace bolero moderate, in trilobed size. The traditions of bolero music were embodied with great brightness in his orchestral work “Bolero” by the famous composer of the first half of the 20th century, M. Ravel. The poet N. Zabolotsky dedicated wonderful lines of a poem to his work, in which he calls the French composer “Spaniard.”

So, Ravel, let's dance the bolero!
For those who will not change music to a pen,
There is an original holiday in this world -
The tune of bagpipes, meager and sad,
And this dance of slow peasants...

But the people live and their song lives.
Dance, Ravel, your gigantic dance,
Dance, Ravel! Cheer up, Spaniard!
Rotate, History, cast millstones,
Be a miller in the menacing hour of the surf!
O bolero, sacred dance of battle!
This dance is not simple, but something like a dance suite, each part of which has its own plot. So in the 1st part there is a choreographic depiction of a walk. In the following parts, the dancers take turns showing their art.

At the end of our unusual concert, I would like to talk about the march.

March – a musical composition with a clear rhythm, designed to accompany and organize the movement of people. Typical march sizes: 2/4 and 6/8. Slow marches are sometimes written in 3/4 time. The tempo varies depending on the duration and speed of the movement - from 60 steps per minute in the marches of the Prussian army of the 18th century, to 120 steps per minute in modern American ones and up to 140 in French marches. A typical feature of a march is the presence of a rhythmic (percussion) instrument. At the end of the 16th century. the soldiers of Emperor Maximilian's army marched to the accompaniment of flutes and drums; The French also borrowed this custom. Another early form of the march appears in 18th-century theater plays and operas, accompanying the entrances and exits of actors from the stage. Many wonderful stage marches were created by such opera composers as J. B. Lully, J. F. Rameau, G. F. Handel and C. W. Gluck. Modern military marches with their characteristic rhythmic patterns appeared in European music no earlier than the 18th century. The rhythm typical of modern marches, together with the use of cymbals and a large drum, was brought to Europe by the Janissaries of the Turkish army. Over time, it was this type of march, with a more emphasized rhythm than in the old European march, that began to predominate in the military, and by the 20th century. - and in all march music. The modern military march is usually written in three-part form with a short introduction, a first section, a second section and a contrasting trio, after which the first two sections are repeated. Concert marches of the older type may be somewhat freer in form. An example is two of Mozart's marches - the slow and solemn "March of the Priests" from The Magic Flute and the fast and cheerful aria-march "The Frisky Boy" from The Marriage of Figaro. Special types of marches are represented by solemn funeral marches (for example, the funeral march from the piano sonata, op. 35 by F. Chopin) and procession marches (for example, the chorus of pilgrims from Wagner’s “Tannhäuser”). Marching rhythms and instrumentation techniques have influenced other genres; Thus, much of early jazz comes from the street marches of New Orleans.

And at the end of our concert, we will listen to a march of a modern composer performed by an ensemble.

Today we will tell you about dance music. Dance has been around for as long as humanity. Dance is the art of movement in a certain rhythm. The nature and rhythm of these movements are associated with the traditions and living conditions of different peoples of each historical era. Dance music is music intended to accompany dancing. For each dance, pieces of different types of music are created. Dance music can be vocal or instrumental. Already in ancient times, dances were often combined into dance performances associated with a specific plot. Thus, from the combination of several dance pieces, an ancient instrumental suite was formed. There are known French and English suites that combined several pieces of different character and tempo. These are allemande, courante, sarabande, minuet, bourré, gigue. All dance pieces have their own national characteristics. We will introduce you to one of them - this is a minuet.

Presenter 1.

The minuet is a dance of French origin, and in the 17th century it was a court dance. The fashion for the minuet arose in the 18th century and lasted for a very long time - until the beginning of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the minuet appeared in Russia, at the court of Peter 1 and was considered a “school of good manners.” The minuet is distinguished by its smooth and graceful movements, with its characteristic bows and squats. Its size is 3\4.

“Minuet” will be performed vocally by students of the choir class.

“Minuet” in G major for piano will be performed by a student.

Presenter 2.

Dance music enhances the expressiveness of the dancers' movements and gestures. The music of each type of dance differs in its tempo, size, and rhythmic pattern. Dance music can be applied or concert. The music they dance to is called applied music. Concert dance music is performed on stage and is listened to. And such music is composed by professional composers. They also write adaptations of folk dances. Notable examples are Edvard Grieg's "Norwegian Dances", "Hungarian Dances" and Brahms.

Presenter 1.

And now the ancient dance “Contrance” will be performed. This dance originated in England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, which means “rural dance” in Russian. Later it spread widely in France, then in Germany. As a ballroom dance, country dance became known in Europe in the 19th century and merged with Russian square dance. The dancers are divided into pairs facing each other. Dance size 2\4, 6\8. Many country dances were written. All of them are colored with rustic humor.

The ancient dance "Contrance" for piano is performed by a student.

Presenter 2.

Do you know that the expression of humor in music - from a cheerful game, a joke, to the grotesque and even to the embodiment of wild, ominous images, composers simply call Scherzo, which means a joke. This is a small piece of music in a lively, rapid tempo with emphasized rhythm, sometimes forming part of a symphony or sonata. During the era of Romanticism, the scherzo became an independent musical piece, mainly for piano. Vivid examples of scherzos were created by famous composers such as F. Schubert, F. Chopin, R. Schumann, P. Tchaikovsky, F. Mendelssohn and others.

A. Muller “Scherzo” for piano performed by a student Leader 1.

Everyone knows the dance, which has stood the test of time and remains popular today. Of course it's Waltz. The waltz has been known for more than two hundred years. The name of this dance comes from the German word walzer "to roll out". The waltz is danced by smoothly twirling couples, its tempo varies - from slow to very fast. The waltz has a three-beat meter, characterized by a supporting accent in the bass on the strong beat of the bar and two chords on the weak beats.

Poets have written many poems about the waltz.

in his poem “Eugene Onegin” he conveyed his feelings in this way.

Monotonous and crazy

The hand flew up, the fingers were angry,

And sounds were in the air,

Drops rained down the passages.

And alternating bass notes

Flazhalet with the flight of lungs,

The lightest bow is indignant,

Kept the melody and tempo.

And in the black mirror of the piano

Hands wavered.

Playing your melody

The servant of torment closed his eyes.

And in this sensitive performance,

And in the dance of fingers, a sea of ​​notes

Merged into tango for a moment

The soul of art and the chord.

At the end of our concert, you will hear a composition in the style of Astor Piazzolla’s new tango - “Libertango” for piano, performed by an ensemble of 7th grade students.

Presenter 1

on the topic of:

"WALTZ - DANCE THROUGH THE CENTURIES"
Before our concert begins, please tell me what you like about the art of dance?

What do you think it means to touch beauty?

Here's what one person said about this: “I picked a flower and it withered. I caught a moth and it died in my palm. And then I realized that you can only touch beauty with your heart.”

Yes, you need to be able to not only see and feel beauty. Beauty must also be protected! This is the hardest thing. To capture beauty in the soul, to remember it, to always carry it in the heart - maybe this is the highest manifestation of human culture?

So, we dedicate our meeting today to beauty, the beauty of dance - the most exciting, most sublime and beautiful of all arts, since dance is not just a reflection of life, dance is life itself!

Dance is an ancient wanderer. He came to us from hoary antiquity... In my opinion, he is the same age as Homo sapiens. Everyone knows that work has shaped man, and I’ll add – also dance! It reflects, dating back to the earliest times, a person’s need to convey his joy or sorrow to other people through the movements of his body.

Archaeologists in different parts of the world have discovered cave paintings depicting dancing men. Almost all important events in the life of primitive man were celebrated with dances: birth, death, war, election of a new leader, healing of the sick. The dance expressed prayers for rain, sunlight, fertility, protection and forgiveness. We cannot say for sure what kind of musical accompaniment our ancestors danced to. Perhaps at first these were chaotic, disorganized sounds, imitation of birdsong, the howling of animals, the rustling of leaves, etc. Then the simplest melodies and tunes appeared, consisting of several tones. They were performed on a variety of pipes, shells and wooden whistles. Many peoples of Africa still play the instruments of our distant ancestors. And their music retained to some extent the features of primitiveness.

The further development of dance art took place in two directions: simple - for the people and refined art for the nobility.

Yes, starting from the Middle Ages, the art of dance began to actively develop. Dances decorated folk festivals and home holidays. In the dance of ordinary people you can see the glorification of life, the joy of youth, good luck, the worship of the sun, the vast expanses of the fields... Something pagan is felt in them. Lively rhythm, jumps, circular movements, stomping, jumping - that’s all folk choreography.

There was other art as well. Let's remember what they danced at the royal courts of Europe in the 16th-17th centuries. Who knows? (polonaise, morisco, rigaudon, bure, pavane, courante, volta, galliard, minuet).

And yet all these dances were created by the people. And in high society, the folk dance style changed in accordance with court etiquette. And in 1661, the Royal Academy of Dance appeared in France. And King Louis XIV of France ordered dance teachers to meet regularly and talk about dancing, reflect, and take care of their improvement.

Dance is culture, religion, profession, education, entertainment, history... and now a fragment from the movie “War and Peace” will serve as a transition, like a bridge, from the Middle Ages to our century. Natasha Rostova's first ball. The beginning of the 19th century, almost 200 years ago. This is a ball of the Russian nobility. Natasha turned 16 years old. And now you will see that dance really is life itself - young Natasha puts so much feeling into it!

The 20th century came, life changed - it became faster and more fleeting. The dances have also changed and new ones have appeared.

In the 20s, Argentine tango captivated everyone. His true homeland is Spain. And in those days they danced the foxtrot and the Charleston. In the 40s of the twentieth century, rock and roll, boogie-woogie, twist, and shake appeared. Each dance entered the arena quickly and aggressively, appearing like a “caliph for the hour” and quickly giving way to another.

Only one turned out to be timeless. It appeared much earlier and has been sounding for 200 years. The sounds of this dance make you want to spin, soar... Can you guess what dance we are talking about? (waltz).
2. P. Tchaikovsky Waltz of the Flowers from the ballet “The Nutcracker”
The first bars of amazing music are captivating. And now their sound captivated us, communicated its rhythm and breathing, and was reflected on their faces. And the youth of the waltz was stormy and noisy. He went through persecution and attacks. The very circling of the partner with the lady, the fact that he was holding the lady by the waist, seemed like an unheard-of liberty. The instructions of the Russian police under Paul I included a “prohibition on the use of dances called “Walsen”.

Waltzes are different. There are ballroom waltzes, pop waltzes, symphonic waltzes, song waltzes... “Officer’s Waltz” by M. Fradkin gave rise to a whole series of “professional” waltzes: this is “Sailor’s Waltz” by V. Sorokin, several “Soldier’s Waltzes”, “Miner’s Waltz” are known. I. Dunaevsky, “School Waltz” by I. Dunaevsky, there are several “Student Waltzes”, “Collective Farm Waltz” by Mayboroda.

And there are others: “Sevastopol Waltz” by K. Listov, “Siberian Waltz” by G. Nosov, “Kazakh Waltz” by Khalidi, “Kiev Waltz” by Mayboroda, “Minsk Waltz” by Shumilin, “Waltz of the Garden Ring” by Ptichkin, “Bam’s Waltz” Tulikova. The name of these waltzes contains the entire geography of a huge power.

6. D. Shostakovich Waltz - a joke
Every waltz has a little sadness. The waltz is also memories; it carries deep feelings associated with experiences of happiness, joy and sadness, and bright hope.
7. J. Brahms Waltz Op.39, No. 15

The man was born cheerful.

Fashions and rhythms changed too,

But we can't live without dancing

Time passes, century after century...

Man has always lived in worries.

But on every holiday and at leisure time

A happy dance was my best friend.

Time passes, century after century.

Let the snow melt between us.

And let on our big planet

People are dancing and the sun is shining.
