Как Много Девушек Хороших - Kak Mnogo Devushek Khoroshikh - So Many Nice Girls Lyrics by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach

СЕРДЦЕ S'ERDTSE HEART 1935 Как много девушек хороших - Kak mnogo devushek khoroshikh - So many nice girls Lyrics by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. Music by Isaak Dunayevsky Originally the song was referred to by its first line as Как много девушек хороших (Kak mnogo devushek khoroshikh, So many nice girls). It was written for the 1934 Soviet film musical Jolly Fellows. The first singer of the song was Leonid Utyosov. In 1935, Pyotr Leshchenko, "the King of Russian Tango”, started to sing the song in Argentine tango fashion. Although music by Leshchenko was officially disliked in the Soviet Union, the version as sung by Leshchenko gradually became the norm. In the former Soviet Union, the song is still perceived as a traditional Russian romance, whereas elsewhere in the world, the song is seen exclusively as an Argentine tango song. Как много девушек хороших, Kak mnoga d’evushik There are so many nice girls! Как много ласковых имен! kharoshikh, There are so many endearing Но лишь одно из них тревожит, Kak mnoga laskavykh im’on names, but only one of them Унося покой и сон, No lish adno iz nikh trivozhit, fascinates and keeps away Когда влюблен. calm and sleep - when one is Unas’a pakoy i son, Любовь нечаянно нагрянет, kagda vl’ubl’on. in love.

“Music Is Music”: Anton Ivanovich Is Upset (1941) and Soviet Musical Politics
“Music is Music”: Anton Ivanovich is Upset (1941) and Soviet Musical Politics PETER KUPFER Abstract In this article I analyze the musical politics of the 1941 Soviet film Anton Ivanovich serditsya (Anton Ivanovich Is Upset), directed by Aleksandr Ivanovsky, original score by Dmitry Kabalevsky. The film tells the story of the musical “enlightenment” of the eponymous Anton Ivanovich Voronov, an old, stodgy organ professor who is interested only in the “serious” music of J.S. Bach. His daughter, Sima, however, wishes to become an operetta singer and falls in love with a composer of “light” music, Aleksey Mukhin, which upsets the professor greatly. Thanks to a miraculous intervention by Bach himself, Anton Ivanovich ultimately sees his error and accepts Muhkin, going so far as to perform the organ part in Mukhin’s new symphonic poem. While largely a lighthearted and fun tale, the caricature and censure of another young, but veiled “formalist” composer, Kerosinov, reflects the darker side of contemporary Soviet musical aesthetics. In the way that it does and does not work out the uneasy relationship between serious, light, and formalist music, I argue that Anton Ivanovich serditsya realistically reflects the paradoxical nature of Soviet musical politics in the late 1930s. Alexander Ivanovsky’s 1941 film Anton Ivanovich serditsya (Anton Ivanovich is Upset, hereafter AIS) tells the story of Anton Ivanovich Voronov (from voron, “raven”), a venerated professor at the conservatory who idolizes the music of “serious” composers, particularly J.S. Bach.1 His earnestness is established from the very start: we first see him in deep contemplation and reverence performing Bach’s somber Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582, which accompanies the film’s opening credits.

7.202 Roust For
Communal Singing as Political Act: A Chorus of Women Resistants in La Petite Roquette, 1943– 1944 COLIN ROUST At ten o’clock on a Monday morning in 1941, the courtyards of Paris’s La Petite Roquette prison erupted in song. Eighteen young women, all new arrivals who had been arrested about three weeks earlier, led their prisonmates in a rousing rendition of “La Marseillaise.” The nuns who managed the prison listened to the performance in respectful, but watchful silence. But when the prisoners began singing “L’Internationale,” the nuns flew into action, breaking up the impromptu chorus and forcing the women back to their cells. Exactly one year later, on Bastille Day 1942, the performance was repeated. This time, however, the nuns responded as soon as the first strains of “La Marseillaise” were heard. While punishing the singers, Sister Immaculate Conception, the director of the prison, incorrectly accused the women of singing “L’Internationale.” When one of the singers corrected her, she responded “C’est la même chose” (it’s the same thing).1 Facing the darkest time of their lives, these women faced an indefinite sentence that would, most likely, end with a transfer into the German concentration camp system. All former fighters in the French Resistance, they were now prevented from taking direct, physical action against the Nazi occupiers. Instead, they turned to song as a means of proclaiming their identity and demonstrating their political beliefs. Through songs such as “La Marseillaise” and “L’Internationale,” this group of women proclaimed that although they had been captured, they certainly had not been defeated.

© 2020 Thornton Miller REACHING THROUGH THE IRON CURTAIN: PRACTICALITIES IN THE ANGLO-SOVIET CULTURAL EXCHANGE OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS, 1955-1975 BY THORNTON MILLER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology with a minor in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christina Bashford, Chair and Director of Research Professor Donna A. Buchanan Professor Diane Koenker, University College London Professor Gayle Sherwood Magee ABSTRACT This dissertation is an investigation of the position of British and Soviet music professionals (such as composers, concert agents, performers, and publishers) in the interchange of music and musicians between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union from 1955 to 1975. This study determines how they were able to circumvent the difficulties inherent in these exchanges in order to further their own goals, and not on behalf of their governments’ political or ideological aims (which were focused explicitly on reducing Cold War tensions, and implicitly on cultural competition). A significant portion of these professionals were interested in material gain, while others sought to gain access to foreign audiences, music, and musicians. After setting the historical context for the opening of Anglo-Soviet cultural relations in the mid-1950s, I present four case studies that explore different aspects of these exchanges: 1) the concept of compatibility between the musical style of British and Soviet composers, 2) how Soviet performers and theater directors negotiated with the Soviet system to acquire and utilize their agency, 3) the attempts of both British and Soviet parties to facilitate the exchange of intellectual property, and 4) the position of British concert agents who profited from the interchange of performers between the UK and the USSR.

Within cinema, the genre that drew most Russians to the theater was the musical film.1 This genre of Soviet cinema was dominated by two directors: Grigori Alexandrov and Ivan Pyriev. Alexandrov’s and Pyriev’s films shared as much similarities as differences. Film scholars such as Trudy Anderson and Richard Taylor have explored a great many of these in their work already, such as the similar plotpoint of the love triangle, the importance of Moscow in Alexandrov’s films and the glorification of the collective farms (kolkhoz) in Pyriev’s.2 In fact, introductory articles on the Soviet musical - such as Taylor’s entry in The International Film Musical - focus almost exclusively on these directors.

TRACTOR in the SOVIET CINEMA* Rina Lapidus Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel
DOI 10.15826/qr.2020.2.478 УДК 791(47:57) THE “EROTIC” TRACTOR IN THE SOVIET CINEMA* Rina Lapidus Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel Between the 1930s and the 1960s, much emphasis was put in the Soviet Union on the technological development of the country. One of the latest wonders of technology was the tractor, which harvested crops efficiently and rapidly. This article is concerned with the Soviet cinematic representation of work with tractors as the most erotic characteristic of a man. A man attractive to women in Soviet cinema is not handsome but rather is someone proficient in operating a tractor. On the other hand, a man who does not know how to operate a tractor is represented as impotent and is ridiculed by female characters. Several romantic films were produced in which the relationship between the protagonists developed against a background of the use of a tractor. These films became iconic and classic: everyone saw them many times and knew their scripts by heart. Most of the films depict a young Soviet man and his path to the heart of his girlfriend, and some show the maturation of the young character and his transformation into a real man. These goals are achieved through his work as a tractor driver. Examples of this are films like The Rich Bride (romantic comedy, 1937), Tractor Drivers (romantic drama, 1939), Cossacks of the Kuban (romantic comedy, 1949), It Happened in Penkovo (romantic drama, 1957), and Knight’s Move (comedy, 1962). In all these films, work with tractors is represented as an integral part of the “machismo” of the Soviet man.
