Romance in the moonlight authors. retro music

Then the past becomes what pulls out of the energy hole. Then you want to return to it, touch it, be filled. Then it looks like a yellow-and-white tape of an old, forgotten film, which you pull out of the storerooms only when you want a real, imperishable one.

But I need a key that will open the entrance to this world of light sadness. This time, the romance "In the moonlight ..." became the golden key.

The bell is ringing
This call, this call
He speaks about love.

In the moonlight in early spring
I remember meeting, my friend, with you.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell rang
This call, this call
Sang sweetly about love.

I remember the guests in a noisy crowd,
Sweet face with a white veil.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The clinking of glasses is noisy,
With a young wife
My opponent is standing.

In the moonlight, the snow is silver,
Along the road, the trio rushes.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell is ringing
This call, this call
Talks about love

I remember the author: Yuryev Evgeny Dmitrievich - Russian poet, composer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth - silver - centuries ... Nothing is known about him, except that he lived for twenty-nine years, of which twelve (from the age of seventeen) wrote poetry and romances.

One can only wonder how a seventeen-year-old boy could feel this way and convey it in music and poetry. And even a twenty-nine-year-old - how could he? Poems? About thirty, but apart from "In the moonlight ...", and even a couple of romances, you will not find anything. Maybe somewhere in some archives...

The romance is so simple and brilliant that any desire to show oneself, decorate it with one's intonations and directing, deprives the most important thing - the inner meaning and soul of the romance.

Dispassionate, quiet, unhurried, detached from everything except the inner memory of the heart, the performance of the romance, attributed to the author of the verses, seems to be the best of all the numerous performers who want to try themselves in this masterpiece. Then the romance becomes a manifestation of something completely different - a lack of heart.

Excessive artistry, and not excessive - too, unnecessary complication of his performance with an emphasis on his vocal abilities, and not on the author's mood, deprives the romance of its own intonation and charm.

"In the moonlight ..." is brilliant and requires nothing but the heart and soul. And with this, the majority of performers and performers are especially tense. Romance is rightfully considered the hallmark of Oleg Pogudin, who managed to find what is considered the main thing in Russian romance - a spiritual nerve.

The romance "Ding-Ding-Ding" (also known as "In the Moonlight" and "Bell") refers to the so-called coachmen's songs.

Written by a poet and musician Evgeny Dmitrievich Yuriev(1882—1911).

Singing Oleg Pogudin

YURIEV EVGENIY DMITRIEVICH-- Russian poet, composerauthor of romances, including: “In the moonlight”, “Hey, coachman, drive to the Yar”, “Why love, why suffer”, etc.

More than fifteen romances by E. D. Yuryev of 1894-1906 are known to his own words and music, as well as eleven romances and songs, including “gypsy”, to his words performed by A. N. Chernyavsky.

Gennady Kamenny. The singer I like!

Information about the biography of E. D. Yuriev is almost not preserved.

The romance “In the Moonlight” (“Ding-Ding-Ding”, “Bell”) continues the coachman theme in Russian song culture, begun by the romance “Here the daring troika rushes ...” in 1828. In general, little is known about the history of the creation of the romance, it was simply composed - and that's it.

For a while, the singer performed with him Anastasia Vyaltseva (1871—1913).

Singing Natalia Muravyova. I love this singer!

Now the romance has become one of the most popular and is included in the repertoire of many performers and is very often used in performances and films.

First recorded on gramophone record July 11, 1909 Maria Alexandrovna Karinskaya(1884-1942), pop artist and performer of romances.

In May 1904, she first performed on the capital's stage in the operetta by V. Kazansky. Newspapers spoke rather flatteringly about the debutante, wrote about her effective appearance, about her strong beautiful voice (mezzo-soprano). Soon Maria Karinskaya, having left the theater, began to perform on the stage with the performance of romances.

Lily Muromtseva sings well

In 1911, Karinskaya became the winner of the contest for the best performance of romances organized at the Passage Theater in St. Petersburg, she was awarded the first prize and the title of "Queen of the Gypsy Romance"

After that, the singer was at the top of the national pop Olympus. In 1913, Karinskaya began performing with accompanist Vyaltseva A.Taskin.

During the years of patriotic upsurge after the outbreak of the war with Germany, Karinskaya arranged "Evenings of Russian antiquity", where she performed old folk songs and ballads in colorful Russian costumes, accompanied by an orchestra of folk instruments.
Even before the revolution, Maria Karinskaya married an English aristocrat who served as a diplomat in Russia, and left with her husband for England. How her later life turned out is not known.

Ding-ding-ding ("Bell")

In the moonlight, the snow is silvering, Along the road, the troechka rushes. Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding - The bell is ringing, This ringing, this ringing It speaks of love. In the moonlight in early spring I will remember the meetings, my friend, with you. Your bell, Your young voice rang, This ringing, this ringing Sweetly sang about love. The guests will be remembered by a noisy crowd, A sweet little face with a white veil. Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding - The clinking of glasses is noisy, With a young wife My rival is standing. In the moonlight, the snow is silvering, Along the road, the troechka rushes. Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding - The bell is ringing, This ringing, this ringing It speaks of love.

In mid-December, it snowed in Kharkov. I could not sleep. In the middle of the night, I got up and went to the window… “In the moonlight, the snow is silvering…” Now it seems to me that I even sang this line in the waltz rhythm, which arose out of nothing, if you do not take into account the beauty of the snow-covered square outside the window. But God sees! I have never heard these verses and this melody in the last 20-odd years, and in the last two years I have had no time for romances at all.

And how many people before me came up to the window in the middle of the night and looked at the snow. Maybe they also had poems in the rhythm of the waltz born in their heads? Did the mysterious Yevgeny Yuryev, the author, as they say, of poetry and music exist in the world at all? Did someone play a prank on their acquaintances, slipping them a stylization of a coachman's romance at the beginning of the 20th century? But here is the information on the website of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art: Yuryev Evgeny Dmitrievich (1882-1911).

Phantoms do not have archive cells. However, the author's performance of the romance "In the Moonlight" (also called "Bell" and "Ding-Ding-Ding") causes distrust among the listeners. From him a mile away reeks of stylization.

And if you consider how many films and performances about different times were accompanied by this melody and poems performed by a variety of singers and singers ...

Maria Olshanskaya

"Ding, ding, ding" (Yuriev's romance)
HELL. Vyaltseva, mezzo-soprano

You can view the release data of the disc and listen to the romance performed by Anastasia Vyaltseva (recorded in 1912) on the World of Russian Recording website.

Laureate of the International Competition,
head of the creative group "Blagovest"
singer Lyudmila Borisovna Zhogoleva:

“At the beginning of the 20th century, this name spoke a lot to the Russian heart. Her popularity was incredible! She was from the peasant class. She died in 1913, lived only 42 years, and achieved so much in art! She managed to tour the whole country with tours. She became one of the richest women in Russia. For tours, she even had a special wagon, which was attached to various trains. There were equipped dressing room, library, kitchen. Then the singer's carriage passed to Admiral Kolchak ... Vyaltseva did not go on tour abroad in principle. She performed only before the Russian public.

She went out to sing an encore twenty times. Her concerts lasted up to four hours. They shouted to her: “Seagull! Seagull! .. "And she tirelessly returned to the stage ... Anastasia Dmitrievna was called "The Seagull of the Russian Stage." Her romance “In the moonlight the snow is silvering” at the beginning of the last century was incredibly popular. At the Tsar's court, the singer Plevitskaya was more appreciated, but this romance performed by Vyaltseva was well known and loved by Emperor Nicholas II. The popularity of the romance was so great that it even made it an unwitting witness to a very gloomy page in our history. At that time, the first gramophone records with Vyaltseva's romances appeared (they were preserved in the Bakhrushinsky Museum). And in December 1916, as the participants in this fateful event later recalled, Grigory Efimovich Rasputin, a friend of the Royal Family, was treacherously lured to the palace of Prince Yusupov and killed there. The murderers, in order to hide their intentions, so that the screams and noise of the struggle would not be heard on the street, turned on the gramophone at full volume precisely with this romance by Anastasia Vyaltseva. Under this wonderful music, under its wondrous voice, a prayer book for the Tsar perished ...

Recently released a film by French director José Diane "Rasputin" with Gerard Depardieu in the title role. I have no complaints about the artist. He was deeply imbued with this bright Russian image (which was then bizarrely refracted in his subsequent personal fate). And yet the film on the "Russian plot" is unsuccessful, it was shot with cold, untrembling hands. But it is not by chance that this romance sounds several times in the film ...

Now the romance "In the Moonlight" is sung by Evgenia Smolyaninova. It is also in my repertoire. I performed it on the stage of the Bakhrushin Museum, like other romances by Anastasia Vyaltseva. The concert was held on a big rise, with a crowded hall. Performing the works of a great artist, being in the atmosphere of that time, among the old things that could have belonged to her, records, books, to the sounds of the piano of that era (we worked in a theater museum!), is both a joy and a responsibility. The Bakhrushinsky Museum houses a large archive of The Seagulls of the Russian Stage.

"Eugene Onegin" by Rimas Tuminas at the Vakhtangov Theater

"Onegin" by Tuminas and stage designer Adomas Jacovskis should be retold by mise-en-scenes. Olga and Lensky (Maria Volkova and Vasily Simonov) are flying through the garden - tall, curly, radiant with youth, wrapped in the song “Snow is silvering in the moonlight ...” Olga always has a children's accordion hanging on her chest: in the ball scene at the Larins, Onegin will touch its frets ... And what a cry this "Troechka" will sound for the last time, when Olga goes down the aisle with a lancer (about the performance -).

Above St. Petersburg, the temple is silver. Xenia is praying in the sleeping capital. Above the wide Neva, an angel sings a song To this temple, a wonderful temple Calls everyone for a holiday. Xenia wanders early at times And may meet you. In a difficult hour, in a mournful hour, she says to everyone: "The king with a spear on a horse will save from trouble." Quiet in the chapel, candles flickering. Mother Xenia accepts everyone. Pray for the whole world, Mother Xenia, again, So that our hearts would be sanctified by love. Above St. Petersburg, the temple is silvering. Xenia is praying in the sleeping capital ...

The song ding ding ding.

“In the moonlight” (other names are “Bell” and “Ding-ding-ding”) is a romance related to the so-called coachman songs, by the poet and musician Yevgeny Dmitrievich Yuryev.
Evgeny Dmitrievich Yuryev (1882-1911) - Russian poet and composer, author of several romances, including: "The Bell", "Hey, coachman, drive to the Yar", "Why love, why suffer", etc.
More than fifteen romances by E. D. Yuriev are known, composed by him in the period 1894-1906 to his own words and music, as well as eleven romances and songs, including “gypsy” (that is, similar to a gypsy romance) to his words, put to music by other composers, including A. N. Chernyavsky... Almost no information about the biography of E. D. Yuryev has been preserved.

Unfortunately, I do not know the artist of the song in this video. On the Internet, this video indicates that the author is performing the song, that is, E. Yuryev. But I doubt it, because I saw another video with this artist, and it is indicated there that this is Yuri Borisov ... Which is also questionable...
Shortly after the October Revolution, the new government declared the romance a "bourgeois relic" that hinders building a brighter future. And in Russian culture for several decades, he was forgotten.
It was only in the second half of the 1950s that the romance as a genre was "rehabilitated" and began to gradually return to Soviet listeners. The romance “In the Moonlight” continues the coachman theme in Russian song culture, begun by the romance “Here the daring troika rushes ...” in 1828, when Alexei Nikolaevich Verstovsky set to music an excerpt about the coachman from Fyodor Glinka's poem. Nothing is known about the history of the creation of the romance, it was simply composed and that's it. For some time, the singer Anastasia Vyaltseva (1871-1913) performed with him.

Anastasia Vyaltseva

As often happens in such cases, when the song is part of the structure of folk culture, there are several variants of text and music that are close to each other.

In the moonlight, the snow is silver,


The bell is ringing
This call, this call
He speaks about love.
In the moonlight in early spring
I remember meeting, my friend, with you.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell rang
This call, this call
Sang sweetly about love.
I remember the guests in a noisy crowd,
Sweet face with a white veil.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The clinking of glasses is noisy,
With a young wife
My opponent is standing.
In the moonlight, the snow is silver,
Along the road, the trio rushes.
Ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding -
The bell is ringing
This call, this call
He speaks about love.

Now the romance has become one of the most popular and is included in the repertoire of many performers and is very often used in performances and films.
