Children's music

In the world there is a huge amount of music for children. Their distinctive feature is the concreteness of the plot, simplicity and lively poetic content.

Of course, all the musical works for children are written according to their age possibilities. For example, vocal compositions take into account the range and power of the voice, while instrumental works take into account the level of technical training.

Children's musical works can be written, for example, in the genre of song, play, aria, opera or symphony. The little ones love classical music reworked into a light, unobtrusive form. Older children (kindergarten age) are well perceived music from cartoons or children's films. Musical works of PI Tchaikovsky, N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, F. Chopin, V.A. Mozart is popular among middle school children. During this period, children love works for choral singing. A great contribution to this genre was made by composers of the Soviet period.

During the Middle Ages, children's music was distributed with the help of wandering musicians. The children's songs of German musicians "Birds All Got Together to Us", "Flashlight" and others have reached our days. Here you can draw an analogy with modernity: the composer G. Gladkov, wrote the well-known musical "The Bremen Town Musicians", which children like very much. Not paid attention to children's music and classical composers L. Beethoven, I. S. Bach, V. A. Mozart. Sonata for piano number 11 (Turkish march) of the latter is popular among children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. It should be noted, and "Children's Symphony" by J. Haydn with her toy instruments, rattles, whistles, children's pipes and drums.

In the 19th century, Russian composers also paid great attention to children's musical works. P.I. Tchaikovsky, in particular, created children's piano pieces for beginners “Children's Album”, where in small works various artistic images arise in front of children and various tasks are put to play. In 1888 N.P. Bryansky composes the first children's operas based on the fables of I.A. Krylova "Musicians", "Cat, goat and ram." The opera "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" N.A. Rimsky - Korsakov, of course, cannot be called a completely children's work, but still it is a fairy tale by A. S. Pushkin, which the composer wrote on the centenary of the poet's birth.

In modern space, children's musical works from cartoons and movies dominate. It all began with the songs of I. Dunaevsky for the film "Children of Captain Grant", which are imbued with romanticism and courage. B. Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the film Rolan Bykov "Aybolit 66". The composers V. Shainsky and M. Ziv created unforgettable musical themes for the cartoon about Cheburashka and his friend Crocodile Gena. A huge contribution to the piggy bank of children's musical works was made by composers A. Rybnikov, G. Gladkov, E. Krylatov, M. Minkov, M. Dunaevsky and many others.

One of the cool children's songs can be heard in the famous cartoon about Antoshka! Let's watch it!
