The President resolved to hold a Year of Culture in Russia  to focus the public’s attention on issues of cultural development, preserving cultural heritage and the role of Russian culture in the world.

More than that the British Council and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs  announced 2014 the UK-Russia Year of Culture to foster cultural exchange  between people and governments.

Singing is one of the core elements of any culture and Russia is no exception. It is hardly possible to count how many Russian songs there are and how many genres they span from centuries-old folk songs to rap.

And, of course, Russian songs are a treasure trove of Russian culture, both traditional and modern.

Our project is intended to present the remarkable phenomenon of world culture - Russian classical romance.

Slide 2

The term "romance" has a centuries-long history. It originates from Spain and means a civil song in the Roman language versus a religious one in Latin.

A romance as a genre in Russian music was formed at the beginning of the 19th century.

The leading Russian composers such as Al. Alyabyev, Al. Varlamov, Al. Gurilyov developed the French variety of the romance into a sentimental category of Russian art song.

Slide 3

The first Russian truly significant composer created 83 romances. He chose texts from various poets including the greatest, like A.S. Pushkin and V.A. Zhukovsky.

He had a pleasant tenor voice and performed his own compositions.

The other great Russian composer who contributed much to the development of this genre was Mily (Милий) Balakirev (1837-1910).

His  romances unlike many of the earlier composers' works were written in folk tradition.

The gypsy who were highly talented began singing a Russian romance and brought to it a spirit of freedom, their own language ( such words as " nari-nari-na"),  and  specific manner of exaltation. Thus, a Gypsy romance was born.

The greatest admirers of a Gypsy romance were A.Pushkin, L.Tolstoy, I.Turgenev,  and others.

Slide 12
