PETER AND THE WOLF
Symphonic tale for children, op. 67

“I would like... to tell our young men and women: love and study the great art of music... It will make you spiritually richer, purer, more perfect, thanks to music you will find in yourself new strengths previously unknown to you.

Music will bring you even closer to the ideal of the perfect person, which is the goal of our communist construction.” These words of the outstanding Soviet composer Dmitry Shostakovich about full measure can be addressed to our children. The sooner a person comes into contact with art, the richer his world of feelings, thoughts, and ideas will be. Previously means in childhood. Soviet composers created many musical works for children, including symphonic fairy tales. But the most striking and imaginative remains Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonic fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf,” introducing children to the world of great music.

Outstanding Soviet composer Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev (1891-1953) - author of the operas “The Love for Three Oranges”, “War and Peace”, “Semyon Kotko”, “The Tale of a Real Man”, ballets “Romeo and Juliet”, “Cinderella”, symphonic, instrumental, piano and many other works - in 1936 he wrote a symphonic fairy tale for children “Peter and the Wolf”. The idea of ​​creating such a work was suggested to him by the chief director of the Central Children's Theater Natalia Sats, all her creative life dedicated to art for children.

Prokofiev, who is sensitive to the times, quickly responded to the proposal to create a work, the purpose of which is to introduce children to the instruments that make up a symphony orchestra. Together with N.I. Sats, the composer chose the form of such a work: an orchestra and a presenter (reader). The composer assigned different “roles” of this tale to the instruments and their groups: the bird - the flute, the duck - the oboe, the grandfather - the bassoon, the cat - the clarinet, the wolf - the horns, Petya - the string quartet.

“The first performance of “Peter and the Wolf” on the stage of the Central Children's Theater took place on May 5, 1936. At the request of Sergei Sergeevich, I was the performer of the fairy tale. Together we thought about how, before the start of this concert, we could introduce the children to various groups of musical instruments, how they would be shown all the instruments one by one, and then the children would hear the individual sound of each one.

Sergei Sergeevich was present at all rehearsals, ensuring that not only the semantic, but also the rhythm and intonation performance of the fairy tale text was in an inextricable creative connection with the orchestral sound,” recalls Natalia Ilyinichna Sats in her book “Children Come to the Theater.” On the record, this fairy tale sounds in her performance.

Unusual shape This symphonic work (orchestra and leader) will provide an opportunity to introduce children to serious music joyfully and easily. Prokofiev's music, bright, imaginative, tinged with humor, is easily perceived by young listeners.

“I really liked the music about Petya, the bird and the wolf. When I listened to her, I recognized everyone. The cat was beautiful, she walked so that no one could hear, she was cunning. The duck was lopsided and stupid. When the wolf ate her, I felt sorry. I was glad when I heard her voice at the end,” said little listener Volodya Dobuzhinsky.

The cheerful bird, the brave Petya, the grumpy but kind grandfather are known and loved in Moscow, London, Paris, Berlin, New York... in all countries of the world.

For more than thirty years, the fairy tale about Petya and the wolf has been traveling around the planet, radiating ideas of goodness, joy, light, helping children learn to understand and love music.

Let this symphonic fairy tale come to your home today...

Sergei Prokofiev. Symphonic tale "Peter and the Wolf"

All over the world, both adults and children know and love Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonic fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf”. The fairy tale was first performed in 1936 at a concert of the Moscow Philharmonic. However, the most successful production is considered to be the one staged by the Natalia Sats Children's Musical Theatre. Then Natalia Sats herself read the text.

In his autobiography he wrote: “Each character in the fairy tale had his own leitmotif, assigned to the same instrument: the duck was represented by the oboe, the grandfather by the bassoon, etc. Before the start of the performance, the instruments were shown to the children and themes were played on them: during the performance, the children heard the themes repeatedly and learned to recognize the timbre of instruments - this is the pedagogical meaning of the fairy tale. What was important to me was not the fairy tale itself, but that the children listened to music, for which the fairy tale was only an excuse.”

This fairy tale is performed like this: the reader reads it in small passages, and the symphony orchestra plays music that depicts everything that is told in the fairy tale. The composer introduces each group of the orchestra sequentially.

Petya

First, a string group plays the theme of the main character of Petya's fairy tale. Petya walks cheerfully and cheerfully to the music of the march, as if humming a light, mischievous melody. The bright, cheerful theme embodies the cheerful character of the boy. Sergei Prokofiev portrayed Petya using all stringed instruments - violins, violas, cellos and double basses.

Themes Birds, Ducks, Cats and Grandfathers are presented in the performance of woodwind instruments - flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon.

Birdie

The bird chirps cheerfully: “Everything around is calm.” It sounds like a light, fluttering melody on high sounds, wittily depicting the chirping of a bird, the fluttering of a Bird. It is performed by a woodwind instrument – ​​a flute.

Duck

The Duck's melody reflects her clumsiness, waddling gait from side to side, and even her quack can be heard. The melody becomes especially expressive when performed by a soft-sounding, slightly “nasal” oboe.

Cat

The abrupt sounds of the melody in a low register convey the soft, insinuating tread of the cunning Cat. The melody is performed by a woodwind instrument – ​​a clarinet. Trying not to give himself away, the Cat stops every now and then, freezing in place. Later, the composer will show the virtuoso brilliance and enormous range of this wonderful instrument in the episode where the frightened Cat quickly climbs a tree.

Grandfather

Grandfather's musical theme expressed his mood and character, peculiarities of speech and even gait. Grandfather speaks in a bass voice, leisurely and as if a little grumpily - this is how his melody sounds when performed by the lowest woodwind instrument - the bassoon.

Wolf

The Wolf's music differs sharply from the themes of other characters we are already familiar with. It sounds performed by a brass instrument - the horn. The menacing howl of three horns sounds “scary.” Low register, gloomy minor colors depict the Wolf dangerous predator. Its theme sounds against the backdrop of an alarming string tremolo, an ominous hiss of cymbals and a rustling drum.

Hunters

Finally, brave hunters appear, following in the footsteps of the Wolf. The hunters' shots are effectively depicted with the thunder of timpani and drums. But the hunters arrived at the scene late. The wolf was already caught. The music seems to be good-naturedly laughing at the unlucky shooters. The “combat” march of the hunters is accompanied by a snare drum, cymbals and a tambourine. This is how we get acquainted with the timbres of the drum instruments.

The tale ends with a solemn procession of all its participants. IN last time their themes sound. The leading theme is Petit's theme, transformed into a victory march.

After listening to the fairy tale, we became acquainted with the instruments of the symphony orchestra. "Peter and the Wolf" is one of best works Prokofiev for children. This musical fairy tale is known and loved by children from different countries.

Questions and tasks:

1. For what purpose did Prokofiev write the musical fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf”?
2. What instruments perform Petit's theme? What is the nature of this theme, its musical language?
3. Explain why Prokofiev chose this sequence of appearance of the characters: Bird, Duck, Cat, Grandfather, hunters.
4. Which ones are copper? wind instruments performing the Wolf theme? How does Wolf's theme differ from the other characters' themes?
5. At what moments in the tale and how do the themes of Ducks, Cats, and Petit appear?
6. What does the Bird's music sound like at the beginning of the fairy tale? What's new in the music of the Bird in its dispute with the Duck; when the Cat appears; at the very end of the fairy tale?
7. Compare the sound of the cat's music when chasing the Bird and when the Wolf appears?
8. How does the march of the hunters differ from the final march of the entire fairy tale?

Lesson progress

Musical director:Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev is a great Soviet composer. In the figurative world of S. S. Prokofiev, a sharp, stern Scythian, a cheerful joker, a jester, a gentle lyricist, a passionate romantic rebel, and a strict classic coexist easily and harmoniously. From birth, he heard classical works performed by his mother - Beethoven's sonatas, Chopin's preludes and mazurkas, works by Liszt and Tchaikovsky. Therefore, Prokofiev began composing music from childhood, and at the age of 5 he composed a piano piece called “Indian Gallop.”

S. S. Prokofiev wrote many wonderful works for children: piano pieces for beginning pianists, a collection called “Children’s Music,” songs with lyrics by L. Kvitko and A. Barto, as well as the symphonic fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf” based on his own text. He dedicated a large number of works to children, as he loved them very much.

Musical director:Now let's imagine that we are in concert hall. We listen to the fairy tale by S.S. Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" for reader and symphony orchestra, the composer's words are read by Natalya Ilyinichna Sats, the founder of the world's first Children's Musical Theater. The conductor of the orchestra is Evgeny Svetlanov.

What is the story about in the symphonic fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf”?

Student Sveta K. The symphonic fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf” tells about a brave boy (pioneer) Pete, who defeated the wolf and saved a small bird and a duck.

Student Ruslan A. In the symphonic tale by S. Prokofiev “Peter and the Wolf” musical themes the characters are performed by instruments of a symphony orchestra, the plot is told to the listeners by a narrator (the words of the composer are read by Natalya Ilyinichna Sats), and the musical characteristics are played by various musical instruments of the orchestra.

Musical director:What instruments did the composer choose for musical themes your colorful characters? (Listening to music). The symphony orchestra is divided into groups of instruments (bowed, woodwind, brass, percussion).

Student Nastya T. S. S. Prokofiev used woodwind instruments (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon) and brass instruments (horn) in the tale. Each musical instrument of a symphony orchestra, thanks to its timbre (color of sound), depicts its own hero. The following poem talks about this:

From a swamp overgrown with duckweed,

From the fields, from the forest hollow

A melodious fairy tale

I went down the musical paths.

To the plank house, under the trees,

The path will lead you

They'll talk about Pete and the wolf

Quartet and clarinet and bassoon.

Hidden in sheet music pages

Glades, meadows and forests.

For every beast and bird

The flute will whistle like a bird,

The oboe quacks like a duck,

And the evil, despicable wolf

Horns will replace them.

However, why rush?

This fairy tale is yours - take it!

Magic doors – pages

Open it quickly.

The composer made the heroes of the fairy tale “speak” in the language of different musical instruments. After all, each instrument has its own voice-timbre.

Student Ruslan A. S.S. Prokofiev “humanizes” the animals in his fairy tale: they speak “humanly” with Petya and with each other, therefore their music always has expressive intonations, as if they were people; and figurative intonations: the bird chirps, its role is played by the flute. Why did the composer choose the flute for the role of the bird? By timbre! The bird is small and light, characterized by high-pitched “chirping” flute sounds.

Student Katya G. The cat is cunning and cautious, sneaking on soft paws, it is depicted by the abrupt sounds of a clarinet.

Student Roma V. Wolf - clattering teeth, the character of a dire wolf is depicted by three horns. (Translated from German - forest horn). Sharp sounds characterize a predator.

Student Alina V. The duck quacks, its leisurely waddling gait is best characterized by a “nasal” oboe.

Student Guzel B. Grandfather - his grumpy, angry character is characterized by the low sounds of the bassoon.

Student Emil F . The hunters - their careful steps (not to scare the Wolf!) pass four instruments: flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon. And the shots of militant hunters are cymbals and a big drum.

Student Elina Zh. Petya is the main character fairy tales Its musical theme resembles a song, a dance, and a march. This is no accident. After all, Petya is a boy, just like all children, he plays, has fun, dances and sings. Petit's melody is performed by two violins, viola violin and cello. In the “final procession” at the end of the fairy tale, it becomes clear that Petya is the hero, he and his friends caught the evil wolf: the music sounds solemnly, at the tempo of a march.

Musical director.Music helps us understand the actions of the heroes of a fairy tale, feel the good and evil in their actions. Prokofiev himself joked that if you listen to the music carefully, you can hear the Duck quack in the Wolf’s stomach, because the Wolf was in such a hurry that he swallowed her alive.

STORY-ROLE-PLAYING GAME “PETER AND HIS FRIENDS”

Musical director:Today we will tell you a fairy tale. This is not a simple fairy tale - a symphonic, musical one. Music and symphonic instruments will help us with this. So first let's imagine ourselves as musicians of a symphony orchestra.

Physical education lesson “Musicians”.

We are musicians today (bows with head)

We are orchestra players today(adjust the butterfly by turning your head)

Now let's stretch our fingers(we stretch our fingers)

Let's start playing together (rub your palms)

The piano began to play(we show fingers playing the piano from side to side)

The drums are beating(imitate playing the drum)

Violin - left (playing the violin on the left hand)

Violin - right(playing the violin on the right hand)

The audience clapped (clap)

Shouted “Bravo!”(raise your arms above your head)

Musical director:So here we go.

Each fairy tale hero has his own musical theme and his own instrument with a specific “voice”.

Each hero of a fairy tale has a “leitmotif”, a melody that expresses his character, gait, and voice intonations.

With their help, we will play a fairy tale, embody its characters, and tell this musical story.

Petya is the main character of the fairy tale.Let's listen to Petya's theme.

Questions:

What is Petya's character like? What does the music represent? What intonations did we hear in this melody? What instruments perform the main character's theme?

Answers: Petya is a cheerful, joyful, mischievous boy. He has good mood maybe he's even humming something. And Petya walks cheerfully, confidently.

This theme is written in the march genre. The main theme is carried out by violins, they have a ringing, high, bright sound, it conveys both the mood and the character of the main character - confident and courageous. Well, the violins are helped by violas, cellos and double basses, all stringed bowed instruments that make up the most main group instruments of a symphony orchestra.

The music director invites the boys to portray Petya, conveying the character and mood of the main character of the fairy tale.

Musical director: Petya came to rest for the holidays with Grandfather. Let's remember the Grandfather theme. He is angry and strict. In the melody you can hear him walking and scolding Petya. The grandfather is dissatisfied with the behavior of his grandson. He is concerned that Petya went behind the gate and did not close it behind him. “...Dangerous places. What if a wolf comes from the forest? What then? We hear grumbling intonations in his melody. And the timbre of the bassoon - low, grumbling, hoarse - very accurately conveys these intonations and the mood of Grandfather.

The music director invites the boys to portray Grandfather.

You can invite the children to determine which of the boys managed to most accurately embody the musical image.

Musical director: Who do you think this theme song represents? (Listening to the Bird's Theme).

This is a bird. Its theme is performed by a flute. The melody sounds in a high register, there are many trills in it, it is fast and whimsical. You can imagine how a bird flies, flutters, flaps its wings, and sings its songs.

Questions: What is Birdie's mood? What group of instruments does the flute belong to?

Children's dance creativity.

Well, now a bird’s friend has appeared in our hall - a duck. She is important and stupid, she waddles, slowly, and quacks.The theme of the duck sounds, the children convey the features of the musical image in their movements.

Musical director: And you will show this character with gestures.

The melody sounds cautious, quiet, insinuating. The cat's character is cunning, cautious, she is a real hunter. And conveys all these intonations(children's answers) – clarinet . Children's dance creativity.

Physical education minute.

But then a wolf appears, we hear the threatening sound of horns. The wolf is careful and cunning. He growls - we hear the horns “roar”, he sneaks - we hear their quiet, cautious sound.

Children's dance creativity.

But then the hunters appeared. We hear them firing their guns.“Shots” of drums and timpani sound. Children imitate “shots” with movements.

But, as we know, Petya, with the help of a small but very brave bird, dealt with the wolf, and it all ended with the solemn procession of all the heroes and hunters to the zoo. Everyone is very cheerful and proud of their victory. Let us also become participants in this procession.

Final procession. Children portray fairy tale heroes.

All the heroes of the fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf” appear on the screen.

Musical director:Guys! Today we are once again convinced that music is capable of creating real miracles. She can draw pictures and create images. And, really...

What can be compared to music in sound?

Noise of the forest? The singing of a nightingale?

Are there thunderstorms? Is the brook babbling?

I can't find any comparisons.

But whenever there is confusion in the soul, -

Love or sadness, fun or sadness.

In any mood given by nature,

Suddenly music starts to sound.

It sounds in the soul, on the strings of the subconscious,

Thunders the timpani and beats the cymbals, -

Conveying joy or suffering -

The soul itself seems to sing!

Summing up the lesson

In the first lessons, students became acquainted with the musical characteristics of the characters in the fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf” - themes performed by various instruments of the symphony orchestra. The final lesson topic: “Development of music.” The children continued their acquaintance with S. S. Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale. Here a more complex task was posed - to trace how the collision of different intonations helps the composer to more clearly reveal the content of the work. The children were asked to follow the development of music in S. S. Prokofiev’s symphonic fairy tale, based on their understanding of what “intonation” is. The children listened carefully to the main episodes of Petya’s music (theme), from the beginning of Prokofiev’s fairy tale, where the mood is calm, cheerful, cheerful, not foreshadowing any serious events, to the final, general procession-march that grew out of Petya’s melody (theme).

Students learned to identify, understand the characteristics and actions of the heroes of S.S.’s fairy tale. Prokofiev, through their musical themes, through the timbres of the instruments that the composer chose to characterize fairy-tale heroes. Name the musical instruments that perform them.
