Works on nature - an element without which it is difficult to imagine music and literature. From time immemorial, the unique beauties of the planet served as a source of inspiration for prominent writers and composers, and were sung by them in immortal creations. There are stories, poems, musical compositions that allow you to recharge the energy of wildlife, literally without leaving your own home. Examples of the best of them are given in this article.
Prishvin and his works on nature
Russian literature is rich in stories, short stories, poems, which are an ode to the native land. A striking example of a man who especially succeeds in writing about nature is Mikhail Prishvin. It is not surprising that he earned the reputation of her singer. The writer in his works encourages readers to establish a relationship with nature, protect it and treat it with love.
An example of his work on nature is the “Pantry of the Sun” - a story that is among the best creations of the author. The writer in it shows how deep the connection between people and the world that surrounds them. The descriptions are so good that the reader, as if with his own eyes, sees groaning trees, a gloomy swamp, ripe cranberries.
Tyutchev's creativity
Tyutchev is a great Russian poet, in whose work a huge place is given to the beauties of the world. His works on nature emphasize its diversity, dynamism, diversity. Using the description of various phenomena, the author conveys the process of the course of life. Of course, he also has a call to take responsibility for the planet, addressed to all readers.
Tyutchev especially loved the theme of night - the time when the world was plunged into darkness. An example is the poem "The veil descended upon the world of the day." In his works, the poet may call the night a saint or emphasize its chaotic character - it depends on the mood. The description of the sunbeam “perched on a bed” in his creation “Yesterday” is also wonderful.
Lyrics of Pushkin
Enumerating works on the nature of Russian writers, one cannot fail to mention the work of the great Pushkin, for whom she throughout her life remained a source of inspiration. It is enough to recall his poem “Winter Morning” to evoke the features of this time of year in your imagination. The author, apparently in an excellent mood, talks about how beautiful the dawn is at this time of year.
A completely different mood is conveyed by his Winter Evening, which is part of the compulsory school curriculum. In it, Pushkin describes a blizzard a bit gloomy and frightening, comparing it with a frantic beast, and the oppressive sensations that it causes him.
Many works on the nature of Russian writers are devoted to autumn. Pushkin, who values this season of the year above all else, is no exception, despite the fact that in his famous work “Autumn” the poet calls it “a dull time”, however, he immediately refuted this characteristic with the phrase “eyes of charm”.
Bunin's works
The childhood of Ivan Bunin, as is known from his biography, passed in a small village located in the Oryol province. It is not surprising that as a child, the writer learned to appreciate the charms of nature. His creation, Leaf Fall, is considered one of the best descriptions of the autumn forest. The author allows readers to smell the trees (pine, oak), see the painted tower painted in bright colors, and hear the sounds of foliage. Bunin perfectly shows the characteristic autumnal nostalgia for the past summer.
The works on the Russian nature of Bunin are just a storehouse of colorful sketches. The most popular of them is Antonov apples. The reader will be able to feel the fruity aroma, to feel the atmosphere of August with its warm rains, to breathe in the morning freshness. Many other of his creations are permeated with love for Russian nature: “River”, “Evening”, “Sunset”. And in almost every one of them there is a call for readers to appreciate what they have.
What else to read
An enthusiastic attitude towards nature is characteristic of Fet, who has works for any mood. It will be possible to be sad, enjoying reading his soothing “Miraculous Picture”. His “Whisper, timid breathing” creates a romantic mood, sending readers into the silence of a summer night, filled with nightingale trills and the murmur of a stream.
If we talk about the preferences of the poet, then most of all he admires the spring, in contrast to Pushkin, who loved autumn first of all. Fet in his poems welcomes the renewal that this time of year brings, while at the same time expressing his feeling of slight longing.
Creativity Tchaikovsky
Not only literary works about nature can make people feel the movement of leaves, hear the sound of surf or bird voices. Music created by a talented composer also copes brilliantly with this difficult task. Proof of this is the work of Tchaikovsky, for example, his magical "Seasons". Focusing on the piano miniature genre, the composer tells the audience about 12 months.
"Seasons" - this is the twittering of a lark, the charm of white nights, the awakening of a snowdrop, the rocking of a boat on the waves, and much more. Tchaikovsky was able to skillfully notice and display the unique features inherent in each month.
By the way, a work with a similar name is also present among the compositions created by Vivaldi. The author attracts the attention of listeners with peals of thunder, captivates them with the sound of raindrops, a riot of winds and night silence.
Compositions of Rimsky-Korsakov
It is no secret to anyone that, above all, the great composer loved the sea. It is not surprising, because he had occasion to serve on the clipper "Diamond", to participate in long sea voyages. His musical compositions about nature are often filled with various images of the sea.
An example of such a composition can be the opera "Sadko", where the theme of the ocean-sea is clearly traced. A few sounds are enough for a composer to emphasize the invincible power that the waves conceal within themselves. This power is preserved throughout the work.
Of course, this is far from all the outstanding musical and literary works dedicated to natural beauties.
