School of spiritual values - what is romance and romance

Alas, but with the current frenzied pace of life, the struggle for survival and the search for work, great breakthroughs in technological progress, a person loses a romantic worldview. He is increasingly moving away from nature, less and less is paying attention to the beauty of the surrounding world. And if you ask him what romance is, it's unlikely that something intelligible will answer. He is becoming less capable of lyrical emotionality and dramatic experiences. Pragmatism of consciousness excludes high ideals and dreams, discontent with monotony and poverty of life. And today's young people are ready to perform feats in virtual reality rather than in the present.

By and large, romance is a way of life. This ability to see in the stars is not "spittles", but "pearls", in a beloved girl - "genius of pure beauty", Madonna, and not an object of bed pleasures, in human life - a great destination and high meaning, and not a transit point between "there is "And" was. "

About what is romance, you can learn from books and movies, from poems and songs, works of sculpture and painting. Poetry of Pushkin, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, the famous Kuprin "Pomegranate Bracelet" and the Cervantesque "Don Quixote", the heroes of Roden's "Kiss" and Shagalov's "Above the City", as well as many other examples of true romanticism, alas, are undeservedly forgotten and almost abandoned Time. But this is not fair! Our spiritual life will turn out to be an emasculated, devastated, if we completely forget about what romanticism is.

Romance and romance are close. We can say that a romance is a romantic song, an elegy laid on music. He is characterized by lyrical serenity and sharp drama, high intensity of emotions and gentle tender melancholy, philosophical reflections on the impermanence of earthly existence and passionate acceptance of life. Romance romance has found a deep and sensitive expression not only in poetry, but also in music, giving us such touching things as "Do not go, stay with me ...", "I like that you are not sick with me ...", "The Nightingale" and Etc.

It is the romance that is considered the most romantic genre in the music and song art, also because it has a special confession, soulfulness, personal, confidential intonations. And if we assume that romance is emotionally-emotional experiences, aesthetic impulses, man's striving for beauty and harmony, everything falls into place.

The history of the romance is also not entirely ordinary. His homeland is Spain. Sultry nights at the sound of the cicadas at the windows of the beautiful black-eyed lordship sweet guitar strings sang sweetly, and the enamored troubadours sang their songs in romance. This genre became extremely popular among the Roman-speaking peoples, then it reached Russia. Is it a mysterious Russian soul to explain what romance is! Strong passions, eternal longing for the ideal, falling in love with nature, i.e. What is in the romance turned out to be akin to the Russian man. That's why, approximately from the first quarter of the 19th century, this genre took a strong place in our song culture. And now it is simply impossible to imagine that on TV or in private collections the "Morning misty ...", "You do not wake her up at the dawn", "You will wake me at dawn ...". And if you remember how many singers owe the romance its popularity! Brigvadze, Besedin, Malinin and many more, many, many ...

Romance is a multifaceted product. By genre nature, it is divided into love, hussar, urban, everyday, gypsy, philosophical. And on the technique of performance - on the vocal and instrumental (romance without words). The peculiarity of the latter lies in the fact that the leading part is played by a melody - instead of a human voice. Rachmaninoff. Tchaikovsky, Glazunov created such works for violin, piano. Traditionally, this romantic song is performed with a guitar or piano, a piano.

Romance brings to our lives so little romance, enriches it with vivid emotions, brings to the high beauty of feelings, words, music.
