Sviridov Biography Presentation

Sviridov’s style has changed significantly in the early stages of his work. His first works were written in the style of classical, romantic music and were similar to the works of German romantics. Later, many works of Sviridov were written under the influence of his teacher Dmitry Shostakovich, but also, for example, in the first batch for piano, the composer’s attention to the musical language of Paul Hindemite is noticeable.

For a composer who professes classical musical forms, the choice of the main creative direction was also unconventional - vocal music, song, romance. Although the sonatas and the piano trio, awarded the Stalin Prize, were written, and the music for dramatic performances, and even the only symphony. But it was Pushkin’s romances who changed the life of the summer novice composer. Sviridov wrote them both in the noisy hostel of the musical college and in his own house, sick and hungry in St.

Petersburg, stronger and touched by maternal warmth in Kursk. The romances were immediately published, and in the year of the century of death of the poet, many outstanding singers were fulfilled. Sviridov was a noticeable direction of the work of Sviridov. These are “five choirs to the words of Russian poets”, and the Kantata “Kursk Songs” based on folklore sources, awarded the state of state, and the most famous “Pushkin wreath”.

The author designated the genre of this work as a choral concert. A wreath is one and symbols of life itself with its cycle of seasons, the cyclicity of birth and death. Thoughts and feelings, external and internal, are woven in it. From the creative heritage of the poet Sviridov, he chose 10 poems - written at different times, from up to year, various topics, mood, known and almost forgotten.

Each of the parts of the concert, trying to correspond to the poetic principle, has its own sound. The author is not limited to choir, he introduces instrumental support, bell ringing, uses the sound of the second chamber choir. In the years, Sviridov creates a seven -part “pathetic oratorio” for verses by V. This work became a symbol of the new stage in the life of the composer.

The oratorio was unusual for many - the literary source, after all, Mayakovsky’s poetry was considered the antimusic, expanded composition of the orchestra and choir, a bold musical form. The work was awarded the Lenin Prize.
