PREFACE
With the development of Soviet choral art, interest in national traditions, including to folk choirs, is increasingly increasing. With their versatile concert and creative activities, folk choirs have won a strong place in Soviet performance, as they represent an independent type of choral art that has the deepest traditions. Based on the generalization of the creative practice of these groups, it became possible creation methods of working with the Russian folk choir, and the need arose vocational training specialists in this field of leadership of folk choirs.
In 1966 (for the first time in Russia!) at the department choral conducting The State Musical and Pedagogical Institute named after Gnesny opened a department for training Russian leaders folk choirs. In parallel, such a department began to function in the Saratov, and later in the Ural Conservatories. After this happened sharp turn in the professional system music education: a network of folk choral departments has emerged and continues to grow in cultural institutes, music and cultural-educational schools. At educational institutions Folklore rooms for Russian music and Russian folk song clubs are being created. All this should bridge the gap that long time existed between vocational training and the practice of folk music, and prepare choral conductors wider profile, meeting the requirements of life.
The education of folk singers in choirs is carried out in a practical way, therefore the methods of educational and artistic work in them are diverse. Nevertheless, the basic methodological principles are the same and can be studied in a special course. It should be taken into account that folk performance of our days continues to develop: the features of the style of the modern Russian folk choir, its vocal and choral organization and methodological principles are still being researched and systematized. This will create a certain difficulty when learning how to work with a choir.
The purpose of this course is to give future choral conductors knowledge in the field of leading a Russian folk song choir, to instill the necessary ability to navigate the stylistic features of this choir for applying them in their performing activities, as well as an interest in various forms of work in a folk choir. This course consists of lectures, seminars and prepares students to practice working with a folk choir.
The textbook covers the main issues of the lecture course: organization of the choir and selection of performers, repertoire and singing education, improvisation, work on the content and performance of songs and others.
Some of the sections are not strictly methodological, for example: style features Russian folk choir, vocal-choral structure, score. Nevertheless, consideration of them is necessary to understand theoretical foundations folk choir, since we do not yet have a scientific development of dance and choir management in the field of folk singing. Known only individual works dedicated to these issues.
In the section “Folk Choir Scores,” only some regularities of folk choral scores are analyzed and issues of arrangement are almost not addressed, since the methods of processing and arrangement for folk choir compositions require special research.
The experience of the folk choral departments of music universities led the author to the need to add a chapter on professional folk choirs to the second edition of the textbook. Some of them are known only from newspaper and magazine reviews of individual concerts. We have collected and systematized the material recent years creative activity all twelve choirs. The sheet music appendix provides the characteristic scores of these choirs. This edition includes one more new chapter- “Instrumental accompaniment in a folk choir”, also necessary for future leaders of groups.
The list of references given at the end of the textbook includes recommendations for individual chapters.

********
Here is the text of my report-presentation about the Northern Russian Folk Choir.
The date of creation of the State Academic Northern Russian Folk Choir is considered to be March 8, 1926.
The ensemble was originally formed from a circle amateur performances, which was organized in 1919 by Antonina Yakovlevna Kolotilova, a rural teacher from Veliky Ustyug. At first it was an amateur ensemble, then an amateur choir.
In 1931, Antonina Yakovlevna moved to Arkhangelsk, which became the new home of the Northern Choir.
In 1936 Northern choir takes part in the All-Union Radio Festival and becomes its laureate.
It is worth noting that throughout this time, since 1919, the members of the ensemble were ordinary people, often not knowing the notes, having worked a shift at their main job and getting together in the evening to sing folk song. AND I. Kolotilova, having education and experience pedagogical work, just gave it raw folklore material academic form, elevating folk song, putting it into a stage image.
After all, performing in an ensemble is also difficult because in a group, in addition to your personal vocal abilities, you need to be able to listen and hear others, support other voices, give in, and advance with your voice where necessary. Otherwise, it will turn out like in I.A. Krylov’s fable “Swan, Crayfish and Pike.” Each vocalist pulls the blanket over himself, and there is no result in the form of a beautiful song composition. Group performance is always more difficult than solo performance, but it is also more interesting.
What A.Ya. Kolotilova managed to find such people and put together a team, which testifies to how intertwined the song was with life. ordinary person some 100 years ago.
February 2, 1940 - the group is given professional status, which allows the immediate creation of dance and orchestral groups.
Northern choir became a prominent representative one of the main stylistic geographical zones in Russian song folklore - Northern Russian. Geographically, it is distributed in the territories of modern Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Leningrad and Vologda regions.
In the North, all genre varieties of ritual and everyday song lyrics still exist: wedding corils, great songs, dance songs, buffoon songs, carols, “grapes” and Maslenitsa songs. The most iconic and characteristic of the north is the genre of round dance songs.
Originality folk songs gives the northern dialect. It is generally accepted that “northern speaking” means surrounding.
A distinctive feature of northern choral performance is a soft, non-shouting sound. This is due to the fact that in the North, due to climatic conditions, women sang a lot indoors. Hence, many researchers call northern singing this way - hut.
Folk songs performed by the Northern Choir cannot be confused with anything else. Everyone can recognize their costumes. The choir embodies in its images folklore traditions typical costume complex of the north. With his sundresses, soul warmers, rich headdresses. Throughout its history, the Northern Choir very carefully collected and conveyed to the viewer the features of northern songs.
Great Patriotic War I found the choir in Veliky Ustyug. Trips to military units and hospitals of the Volkhov, Leningrad and Karelian fronts began. During this time, the artists gave 1,100 concerts in military field conditions.
All post-war period, until 1961 - this is the period of resounding success of the Northern Choir. AND I. Kolotilov and the Northern Choir team received many awards during this time state awards and titles.
From 1961 to 2008 artistic director Nina Konstantinovna Meshko ( People's Artist USSR, laureate State Prize RSFSR named after Glinka, professor of the department of choral and solo folk singing of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music).
In December 2008, Svetlana Konopyanovna Ignatieva became the artistic director of the Northern Choir. , who holds this position to this day.
All creative path Northern Choir and its leaders, especially A.Ya. Kolotilova is a vivid example of how an ordinary person, thanks to his work, is able to leave behind an imperishable mark for future generations. This year Northern choir turned 90 years old. The person is no longer alive, the first members of the ensemble are no longer alive, but the collective works, brings the folk song to the people. Perhaps this is real immortality! When the result of your work, even after you are gone, continues to benefit people.
Northern costume.
My mother and I have been sewing a costume representing the Russian north since August. The basis for the costume that my mother and I invented, compiled and sewed were samples of costume complexes from the collections of the State historical museum, Russian ethnographic museum, State Russian Museum, Sergei Glebushkin.
