Biography of Nona Trojanovskaya

Dear friends! The victorious choir every year on May 9, before the procession of the Immortal Regiment, this famous Moscow flash mob collects to a person of the most diverse to show more age and status: students, pensioners, artists, singers of Moscow temples and monasteries. Muscovites come in whole families, give grandmothers and grandchildren of the oldest participant in the choir - 93 years old.

In recent years, people come from other cities of Russia and from abroad to participate in the “victorious choir”. The action collects many children and youth, which has a colossal visual educational effect in preserving historical memory from those whom we will leave after ourselves. The “Victory Choir” folk action was first held in the year at the walls of the Bolshoi Theater, as a spontaneous flash mob, born in social networks.

In recent years, the participants have increased and more than a thousand people gathered for this action. Regent, teacher, writer and organizer of the action Ulyana Menshikov. A native of the city of Barnaul of the Altai Territory. She graduated from a music school at a music school, the regent class of the Tomsk Theological Seminary at the professor of the Department of Church Wiring, the artistic director of the Choir Chapel of Tomsk State University Vitaly Vyacheslavovich Sotnikov, studied at the Novosibirsk State Conservatory at the Professor Department, the head of the department of the NCC dedication named after M.

Glinka Khoshabova Nelly Andreevna. Behind the conductor's remote control for more than 25 years. All these years I am supervised by professional, amateur and children's groups. I teach the history of arts and musical disciplines. I was shocked that the wonderful, smartest guys who perfectly speak foreign languages ​​sang perfectly and knew musical English -language musical material, but almost no one knew what a romance, a folk song and Soviet classics were.

The guys were not at all familiar with the Russian choral singing culture, although it is difficult to find more singing the nation than the Russian. At one of the rehearsals, we talked about the day of victory and I asked students: are they gathering families on this day at the table, do military songs sing and do they know them at all?

The answer was negative. It would seem that only two generations separate these children from the Second World War, but with the musical heritage of that era they were completely not familiar. I sat behind the piano and sang “Cranes” and “at the nameless height”. I asked to find texts on the Internet and try to sing me. And when the guys sang, and not to sing these songs, written by beautiful melodists and poets - songwriters, it is impossible, I saw that many had tears before our eyes.

I did not show them a military chronicle, did not talk about the horrors of war - there were enough good verses and beautiful music to make young people who were already far from that terrible event the first time. It was then that musical flash mobs swept through social networks: military operations went to the DPR and people recorded and laid out the flash mobs on the social networks, where they sang “Smugly” and “Katyusha”.

At that time, I had my own professional singing team in one of the churches of Moscow and I thought that I could also do something similar. But not a flash mob, but a promotion in which unprofessional musicians will take part. I invited the participants of my team, organized university students and threw a cry in social networks so that they wanted to sing military songs on Victory Day joined us.

And people answered very quickly and hotly. I was shocked that so many Muscovites came to the first victorious choir of the year. They went whole families. For a spontaneous decision and organization, which took only a couple of weeks, two hundred people who came to the Bolshoi Theater then - it was a lot. And the next year I was literally overwhelmed with letters and messages with a request to repeat our choir meeting on Victory Day.

Since then, we have been in chorus almost every year. The Russian people singing, he was hungry for his native song. I am very glad that this action enables people to join the real mass Russian choral singing culture, which has been oblivious in recent years. But the tradition of singing should not be interrupted: the time will come, people will reach for their roots.

Children will grow up who will remember how they came on this significant day with their parents to sing Soviet military songs. It is these children that will become the keepers of our tradition. If it is interrupted, if these songs forget, forget their root culture, forget themselves. Our choral singing is a unique phenomenon. Close and understandable to everyone. Nowhere is a person who is in singing and nothing unites people as the singing of choral.

There are no requirements to participate in the choir. Everyone can come and sing, regardless of musical training. Moreover, the choir always has a strong backbone from professional singers who know how to keep the melody, rhythm and help vocally everyone, as choral singing always did. A few weeks before the event, I begin to conduct rehearsals for everyone.

We ourselves print the texts of the songs.In the year, with the help of the administration of the Yuzao, booklets with texts were printed. The chorus participants themselves paid and made flags with the logo of the choir, a flag and a banner of an echo. Everything on its own and from their own funds. The first choir sounded acapella, only a choir and a conductor. Now we invite professional button accordions to escort their work all the participants are dropped.

At one of the events, the cultural center "Novoslobodsky" provided professional equipment and we sang under beautiful orchestral ministers. We are organized in this way. I have a fairly large number of subscribers on social networks. I report where the rehearsals and the place where the winning choir will gather this year. I turn to familiar journalists and bloggers so that they also write on their pages and on the pages of publications about the upcoming event.

Thus, a lot of people learn about the event and join us. As a teacher, as a Korovik conductor, I can say that this is important and necessary. I see with what pleasure, inspiration and joy people of various ages and skills sing in our choir and how important it is for them. And this year, in the eighties of our great victory, I know that the "victorious choir" will sound in Moscow.

Regardless of your singing skills. Everyone is singing in our choir! In this group I will post texts and notes of songs, the history of their creation. And, of course, information about where, when and how rehearsals and the event itself will take place.
