Performing epics Not everyone could perform epics. The storytellers were especially talented people with excellent memories. Usually the honorable task of telling an epic was entrusted to elderly people, from 60-65 years old, with a large life experience. In Ancient Rus', storytellers enjoyed honor and respect; their skill in performing epics was often passed on from parents to children and was the property of the family. Taking over the gift of a storyteller from their father, remembering the plots of epics and coming up with something new was a great happiness for the young. Many listeners always gathered around the storytellers, who with trepidation and great attention experienced the stories of heroes. Long epics were especially often performed winter evenings, when in peasant life there was a lull. The epics were not sung, but spoken - pronounced in recitative. The song sounded slowly, smoothly, in a sing-song manner. Recitative is melodious speech in a vocal musical work, chanting

Slide description:

Artistic Features epics In the text of the epic we find signs of real Russian antiquity. There are few descriptions in epics, but they fulfill important artistic functions: give credibility to the story, express the author’s likes and dislikes, complement the image of the hero. The narration in epics is interrupted by dialogue, the purpose of which is to emphasize what distinguishes and glorifies the hero, and fully reveals his heroic essence. “Saying” (singing intonation) Hyperbolization - exaggeration of the main features, qualities of heroes, life phenomena associated with them (the hero’s club weighs forty, and sometimes ninety pounds, the horse carries the hero “higher than a standing forest, just below a walking cloud,” etc. )

From the history of the epic The epic about Volga and Mikula is from Novgorod. Researchers attribute its origin to the 14th – 15th centuries. The proof is the meaning of the epic: Novgorod recognized only those decisions of the Kyiv prince that were liked by the Novgorodians. Also Sun. Miller considers the picture of plowing as evidence of the origin of the epic. It was in the northern principalities that the soil, after clearing the forest, was strewn with roots that needed to be uprooted.

Slide description:

Prince Volga Svyatoslavovich Prince Volga is of extraordinary origin. He is the son of the princess and Zmey Gorynych. He inherited magical abilities from his father, “he wanted a lot of wisdom.” Volga uses these opportunities for good deeds. But the plowman surpasses even such a man in power and valor.

Slide description:

Mikula means Nikolai in modern times, and Selyaninovich means that he is a peasant, that is, he lives in a village. He just emphasizes this: yes, I am a simple peasant plowman (oratay), not a prince, not a warrior and not a hero). Village from the word to settle on land, a certain territory. Where do you think the hero got his name - Mikula Selyaninovich? What does it mean?

25 slide

Slide description:

Read the description of Mikula's appearance. The portrait shows the authors' desire to decorate the appearance of their beloved hero: he is dressed not like a peasant for work, but like a boyar. “The Oratay has green morocco boots” - these are the shoes of very rich and noble people, like the caftan of black velvet. “Look at your heels with an awl, your noses are sharp, A sparrow will fly under your heel, Roll an egg around your nose” - a high and thin heel - like an awl; pointed, high-turned toe

Slide description:

What does the nameless author of the epic emphasize in the guise of Mikula Selyaninovich? (Physical strength, brave prowess, hard work, patience.) What is the portrait of the as yet unknown hero? (An idealized image of the folklore “good fellow.”) What can you say about the clothing of this character? Could an ancient Russian plowman have been dressed like this: “The orata has green morocco boots... The orata has a down hat...”? Of course not. Where did this appearance of the hero of the work come from? (Perhaps a later exaggeration, a desire to show as best as possible external beauty hero.)

Slide 27

Slide description:

How is not the external, transitory, but the internal, spiritual beauty of Mikula Selyaninovich shown? Read the conversation between the prince and the plowman. What can we say about the mind and education of the “simple peasant”? Does Oratai boast of its strength and importance? How does he demonstrate to the prince and his squad that his work is more important than the “labor” of the tax collectors? Read out this passage. Why do ordinary villagers respect Mikula Selyaninovich? (For hard work, hospitality, self-esteem and kindness.) Why does Prince Volga Svyatoslavich respect Mikula Selyaninovich? (3a physical strength, skill, hard work, self-esteem and kindness.)

Slide 2

“The Russian people created a huge oral literature: wise proverbs and cunning riddles, funny songs, solemn epics - spoken in a chant, to the sound of strings - about the glorious exploits of heroes, defenders of the earth...” L.N. Tolstoy

Slide 3

EPIC is a folk epic song, a genre characteristic of the Russian tradition. The basis of the plot of the epic is a heroic event, or a remarkable episode of Russian history (hence popular name epics - “old man”, “old woman”, implying that the action in question took place in the past). The term “epic” was introduced into scientific use in the 40s of the 19th century. folklorist I.P. Sakharov (1807–1863).

Slide 4

Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov painted the painting “Bogatyrs” for almost twenty years
Bogatyrs are the main characters of epics

Slide 5

In ancient times, people composed epics. They were performed by folk storytellers to the accompaniment of an ancient stringed instrument called the gusli. Read expressively the beginning of “Epics about Dobrynya Nikitich”: “I’ll take the ringing, spring-shaped harp and tune the harp in the old way, I’ll start an old story about the deeds of the glorious Russian hero Dobrynya Nikitich. Silence the blue sea, and everyone good people to obedience."

Slide 6

In ancient times, storytellers played along with themselves on the harp; later, epics were performed in recitative. Epic poems are characterized by a special pure-tonic epic verse (which is based on the commensurability of the lines by the number of stresses, which achieves rhythmic uniformity). Although the storytellers used only a few melodies when performing epics, they enriched the singing with a variety of intonations and also changed the timbre of their voices.
Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov “Guslars”

Slide 7

The word "harp" is characteristic of Slavic dialects. There are several versions of the origin of the word. According to one of them, the word “harp” expresses a set of strings. “Gusl” (harp) in the sense of “string” obviously comes from the Old Slavonic “gYctu” (“to hum”). In the old days, the sound of strings was called buzzing or humming.
Let's listen to the harp playing
“The Tale of the Russian Land” by V. Malyarov

Slide 8

In the most ancient Slavic monuments, the word "gusli" is sometimes mentioned to designate instruments in general. In other cases, the name gusli refers to stringed instruments unlike winds and percussion.

Slide 9

In the old days, the body of the gusli was built from sycamore wood, which is why they were called “yavorchatye” or more often “yarovchatye”. There is no reason to assume that the number of strings on the ancient Slavic harp was constant. Not long ago on archaeological excavations In Novgorod, harps dating back to the 11th - 14th centuries were found. Among them were 4, 5, 6, 9-string harps. The harp also varied in size. The largest were 85 cm long, the smallest 35.5 cm.

Slide 10

And the sound of the harp is a fluent sound; Everyone fell silent and listened to Bayan: And the sweet singer glorified Lyudmila, the beauty, and Ruslan, and Lelem, the crown he had made.
A.S. Pushkin "Ruslan and Lyudmila"

Slide 11

The epithet of gusli “yarochnye” predominates in epics. IN folk songs“ringing” harps are more common, probably because they had metal strings and the instrument had a ringing timbre. Judging by ancient legends, the strings were played exclusively with the fingers. “The prophetic boyar, if he wanted to sing a song to someone... he placed his prophetic fingers on the living strings, and they themselves rumbled glory to the princes” (“The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”).

Slide 12

Vintage harp
At that time, the harp was played both in everyday life and at special ceremonies. Not a single princely feast was complete without a guslar. Dobrynya Nikitich and Solovey Budimirovich, boyar Stavr Godinovich and Novgorod guest Sadko play the gusli.
Helmet-shaped gusli

V. M. Vasnetsov - “Bayan”

Slide 14

Origin of the word “hero” Where does the word “hero” come from? It is believed that it was borrowed from Turkic languages, where it appears in various forms - baghatur, bagadur, batur, batyr, bator. Scientists (Shchepkin, Buslaev) directly derived “hero” from “God” through “rich”

Slide 15

Images of heroes are the people's standard of courage, justice, patriotism and strength. It is not for nothing that one of the first Russian aircraft, which had an exceptional carrying capacity at that time, was named “Ilya Muromets”

Slide 16

V.M. Vasnetsov "Ilya Muromets"

Slide 17

Scientists classify heroes into senior and junior
Senior heroes: Svyatogor, Volga Svyatoslavich, Samson, Sukhan, Polkan, Kolyvan Ivanovich, Don Ivanovich, Danube Ivanovich and others.
Younger heroes: Dobrynya Nikitich, Ivan Danilovich, Alyosha Popovich, Ilya Muromets, Mikula Selyaninovich, Churila Plenkovich, Duke Stepanovich, Danil Lovchenin and others.

Slide 18

The “elders” were the personification of elemental forces; epics about them uniquely reflected the mythological views that existed in Ancient Rus'. “Younger” heroes are ordinary mortals, heroes of a new historical era, and therefore are endowed with mythological features to a minimal extent.

Slide 19

The oldest epic is considered to be about Svyatogor the hero or Kolyvan, as he is also called

Slide 20

Andrey Mazin "Svyatogor"

Slide 21

That Svyatogor was a hero of great strength, taller than a standing forest, with his head resting under a walking cloud. Mother Earth could not wear it. The horse sank knee-deep under Svyatogor. Only the mountains could hold him, and that’s where he lived.

Slide 22

Svyatogor was good, but he didn’t need anyone. He did not defend the Russian Land from the steppe invaders, all he knew was that he was proud of his strength and boasted: “I am full without truth, without truth I am strong, I am powerful, I am great, I am rich and happy!”

Volga Svyatoslavovich, or Volkh Vseslavevich

Slide 25

Volga Svyatoslavich (Volkh Vseslavyevich) is a hero, a character in Russian epics. Main distinctive features Volgas are cunning, the ability to shapeshift and the ability to understand the language of birds and animals
K. A. Vasiliev “VOLGA”

Slide 26

Volga (Volkh) is one of the most ancient characters in Russian folklore. Some researchers give Volga a mythical meaning: in their opinion, it was originally an image of a thunder cloud, as indicated by the shaking in nature described in the epic at the birth of Volga (thunder) and werewolf, that is, a constant and rapid change in the shape of a cloud under the influence of air movement. They suspect a connection between his name and the word “magician,” suggesting that only later it turned from a common noun into a proper name.
K. A. Vasiliev “VOLGA SVYATOSLAVOVICH”

Slide 27

K. A. Vasiliev “Volga’s Sword”

Slide 28

“The red sun set behind the high mountains, frequent stars scattered across the sky, and at that time a young hero, Volga Vseslavyevich, was born in Mother Rus'. His mother swaddled him in red swaddling clothes, tied him with gold belts, put him in a carved cradle, and began to sing songs over him. Volga only slept for an hour, woke up, stretched - the golden belts burst, the red diapers tore, the bottom of the carved cradle fell out. And Volga stood up and said to his mother:
- Madam mother, don’t swaddle me, don’t twist me, but dress me in strong armor, in a gilded helmet, and give me right hand a club, so that the weight of the club is one hundred pounds.”

Slide 29

“The heroes became sad and thought: “How to overcome the high wall, the iron gate?” Young Volga guessed: he turned into a small midge, covered all the fellows with goosebumps, and goosebumps crawled under the gate. And on the other side they became warriors. They struck Saltanov's force like thunder from heaven. But the Turkish army’s sabers are dull and their swords are chipped. Here Turkish army it started to run away. The Russian heroes marched through the Golden Horde, ending all of Saltanov’s power.”

Ilya Muromets

Slide 42

He eats three balls of bread and drinks three copper coins' worth. However, he always wins, in all battles and fights. Death in battle is not written for him.

Slide 43

Ilya Muromets is the most popular hero of epics, a mighty hero. The epic does not know him as a young man, he is an old man with a gray beard. Oddly enough, Ilya Muromets appeared later than his epic younger comrades Dobrynya Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich. His homeland is the city of Murom, the village of Karacharovo. The peasant son, the sick Ilya, “sat sitting on the stove for 30 years and three years.” One day, wanderers came to the house, “walking kaliki.” They healed Ilya, giving him heroic strength. From now on, he is a hero who is destined to serve the city of Kyiv and Prince Vladimir. On the way to Kyiv, Ilya defeats the Nightingale the Robber, puts him in a Toroki and takes him to the princely court. Among other exploits of Ilya, it is worth mentioning his victory over the Idolishch, which besieged Kyiv.

Slide 44

“And it happened in the city of Murom, And it happened in the village of Karacharovo, To a peasant, to a black arable farmer, To either Ivan Timofeevich, To the light of Efrosinya Alexandrovna The desired son appeared and was born. It was long awaited, but it was given to joy. The godfather starts dancing - the whole earth is humming, Bends an arshin under his heel. From under the feet of the boots - a stomping, knocking sound breaks out, crumbles. Here Grandma Talanikha could not stand it, she jumped out to the dance circle: “I went to dance on the straw, spread out, people, to the side... As soon as I stamp, break, board! Break, board, fail, melancholy!

Slide 45

“And stood up! And went! And Ilya opened it! And Ilya let in the passing Kaliks. The Kaliki came to Ilya smoothly, stood in a row in front of him, took out three gilded glasses, poured honey into them from the bees from the flowers, from the meadows, and from the forests. It contains all the earthly healing power. They served a drink to Ilya Muromets: “Drink, good fellow, little one, don’t disdain the caliche honey!” Ilya accepted and drank the treat. The blood was spreading through the veins. Was such joy rising in my soul, was such a thought ringing in my head, was such joy falling on my heart..."

MONUMENT TO ILYA OF MUROMETS IN THE CITY OF MUROM
Incarnated in the image of an ancient Russian hero folk concepts about high moral qualities what a true hero should have. One of the most important qualities of Ilya Muromets is a sense of justice and awareness of his duty - to stand for the truth. He is ready to go into direct conflict with the prince, with the boyars, when he sees that they are not doing the truth. He is a national, all-Russian hero, not bound by any class ties. “I am going to serve for the Christian faith and for the Russian land, and for the capital city of Kyiv-grad, for widows, for orphans, for poor people.”

Slide 49

Mikula Selyaninovich

Slide 50

There are epics about Mikul Selyaninovich, a plowman, a peasant who plowed mother earth, raised bread and fed people

Slide 51

This picture contains details characteristic of the agricultural work of the northern Russian peasant: he had to turn areas littered with boulders into arable land and uproot the forest. But at the same time, a “clean expanse of land” is depicted, which could not exist in the north. As usual in epics, here something that in reality never exists together merges together. As a result of this merger, an ideal picture is created. The plowing tools are unusually expensive and beautiful: “The orat mare has a nightingale, her horns are silk, the bipod is maple, the horns on the bipod are damask, the bipod’s horn is silver, and the bipod’s horn is red and gold.”

Slide 52

In the epics of Mikulu Selyaninovich, the Russian people elevated his work so much that no one could compare with him in strength and power

Slide 53

K.A. Vasiliev “Volga and Mikula”
“Volga was surprised and bowed to the plowman: “Oh, you, glorious plowman, mighty hero, come with me for a comrade...” The plowman took the silk tugs off his plow, unharnessed the gray filly, sat astride her and set off. The fellows galloped halfway. The plowman says to Volga Vseslavyevich: “Oh, we did something wrong, we left a plow in the furrow.” You sent some fine warriors to pull the bipod out of the furrow, shake out the earth from it, and put the plow under the broom bush. Volga sent three warriors. They turn the bipod this way and that, but they can’t lift the bipod off the ground.”

Walking Kaliki Like heroes of an epic epic

Slide 64

KALIKI (walking cripples)
an ancient name for blind wanderers who sing spiritual poetry. In Ancient Rus', the word “kalika” or “crippled” did not mean a crippled person, but a person who traveled a lot and visited holy places.

Slide 65

Among the heroes of the Russian epic, on a par with the heroes, it is certainly necessary to call the Kalik passers-by. Ancient Russian pilgrims who were not only permanent actors, but also created their own rich repertoire of spiritual poems and special Kalich epics.

Slide 66

A remarkable example of Kalich poetry is the epic “Forty Kaliks with Kaliks,” which is based on the affirmation of the high moral qualities of Kaliks

Slide 67

"Forty Kalika with Kalika"
And from the desert there were the Efimievs, from the monastery from Bogolyubov, the Kaliks began to flock to the holy city of Jerusalem, forty Kaliks of them with the Kalika. They stood in a single circle, They thought one little thought, And one strong thought; They elected Bolshev ataman Molody Kasyan's son Mikhailych.

Slide 35

The first obligatory part of the plot (tells about the birth of the hero, his acquisition of strength; it talks about the place of action, about where the hero leaves from): In the glorious great Novograd A, Buslay lived until he was ninety years old... the beginning of M. Shrilev’s “Morning of Novgorod” Great"

Slide 36

traditional formulas, almost without changes, passing from one epic to another: And then the Nightingale whistles like a nightingale, He screams, a villain-robber, like an animal... And Alyoshenka roared like an animal, Alyosha hissed like -snake... commonplaces

Project Russian epics

Introductory article

Epics (old) - heroic-patriotic songs and tales telling about the exploits of heroes and reflecting the life of Ancient Rus' of the 9th-13th centuries; a type of oral folk art, which is characterized by a song-epic way of reflecting reality.

The main plot of the epic is some heroic event, or a remarkable episode of Russian history (hence the popular name of the epic - “starina”, “old woman”, implying that the action in question took place in the past).

Bylinas, as a rule, are written in tonic verse with two to four stresses.

The term “epics” was first introduced by Ivan Sakharov in the collection “Songs of the Russian People” in 1839. He proposed it based on the expression “according to epics” in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign,” which meant “according to the facts.”
