While in southern exile, Alexander Pushkin saw the Black Sea for the first time and was captivated by its beauty. Far from home, the poet felt lonely and was constantly in a depressed state. All attempts by friends to somehow cheer up Pushkin ended in failure: the poet was insolent, wrote epigrams against representatives of Odessa’s secular society and constantly clashed with his direct boss, Count Vorontsov.
Pushkin could trust his thoughts and feelings only to paper and sea waves. He often came to the coast and watched the leisurely running of the waves, which amazed him with their rebellious spirit and love of freedom. The storm at sea corresponded to the inner worldview of the poet, who with every action expressed protest against the exile, but at the same time could not change anything. However, in moments of calm, the poet realized that the sea could not be his ally, although it continued to endow him with the features of a living person. On one of these days, in the summer of 1823, Pushkin wrote the poem “Who, the waves, stopped you...”, in which he drew a parallel between the sea elements and his own life. He saw himself as if from the outside and realized that he could not control his own life. Just like the sea cannot choose between storm and calm. Nevertheless, the poet asks the water element: “Who turned the rebellious stream into a silent and dense pond?” The author understands that he will not be able to get an answer, but he knows perfectly well who is to blame for his expulsion, and who “put his stormy soul to sleep and his youth into the drowsiness of laziness.”
Turning to the sea, the author calls on the elements to throw off the shackles of someone else's will. “Leap up the winds, rip up the waters, destroy the disastrous stronghold!” the poet demands. He turns to the thunderstorm, which he considers a symbol of freedom, with a request to rush “above the involuntary waters.” However, such an allegory carries a hidden meaning, because in fact the poet is turning to himself, trying to revive the rebellious spirit that caused the southern exile. Pushkin is convinced that he is wasting his life in vain, shuffling papers in the count's office, when his talent and unbridled temperament are so needed in Moscow and St. Petersburg. According to research by literary scholars, while in Odessa, Pushkin was preparing to escape to Constantinople on one of the merchant ships. However, at the last moment he abandons this idea, realizing that emigration will forever separate him from his homeland. Therefore, the only thing left for him is to wait and suffer, trusting his thoughts to the sea elements.

“Who, the waves, stopped you...” Alexander Pushkin
Who, the waves, stopped you,
Who bound your mighty run,
Who is in the silent and dense pond
Has the rebellious flow turned?
Whose magic wand struck
I have hope, sorrow and joy
And a stormy soul and youth
Have you lulled yourself into a nap of laziness?
Leap up, winds, roar up the waters,
Destroy the disastrous stronghold.
Where are you, thunderstorm - a symbol of freedom?
Rush across the unwitting waters.

“Who, the waves, stopped you…” - a work written based on a poem by A.S. Pushkin by composer P.A. Obolensky, presented by an a capella choir. The poem was written in 1823 during the poet's exile to the south.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin (1799-1837) - great Russian poet, prose writer, playwright. The author of immortal works in verse and prose: the novels “Eugene Onegin”, “Dubrovsky”, the famous poems “Ruslan and Lyudmila”, “Prisoner of the Caucasus”, the story “The Queen of Spades” and many others, as well as fairy tales for children.
Born in Moscow on June 6. In 1811, his father and uncle decided to send Pushkin to the newly opened Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. The role of the Lyceum in the development of a personality can hardly be overestimated; it was there that he began to write his first poems, met and became friends with such famous people in the future as Ivan Pushchin, Wilhelm Kuchelbecker, Anton Delvig and many others. In 1814, the first poem of the then fifteen-year-old Pushkin, “To a Friend the Poet,” was published.
After graduating from the Lyceum in 1817, Pushkin did not return to Moscow, but moved to St. Petersburg, where he entered service in the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, and was enlisted in the Collegium of Foreign Affairs. And after three years, Pushkin completed his famous poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila”.
For distributing epigrams on various people and free verse, Pushkin was sent into exile in 1820. In exile, in 1823, the poet sat down to write the novel “Eugene Onegin,” which would bring him great fame in the future. During the four years of exile, Pushkin wrote such romantic southern poems as “Prisoner of the Caucasus,” “Bakhchisarai Fountain,” and “The Robber Brothers.”
In 1824, the poet was in exile on his estate - in the village of Mikhailovskoye. There he continued to work on “Eugene Onegin”, wrote “Boris Godunov”, poems. While in exile, Alexander Sergeevich learns about the uprising of the friends of the Decembrists, many of whom were subsequently executed and sent into exile.
On September 4, 1826, Nicholas I summoned Pushkin to Moscow, but the freedom granted by the tsar was short-lived; already in 1828, a decree of the State Council was issued on supervision of Pushkin. In the same year, he left without permission to the Caucasus, where his friends served.
In 1830, Pushkin wooed, and in 1831 he married Natalya Goncharova. Before his marriage, he went to an estate in Boldino, where he was forced to stay due to quarantine. This period in Pushkin’s work is called the Boldino Autumn, during which he wrote a large number of literary works of various genres, such as “Dubrovsky”, “The Captain’s Daughter” and many others.
On February 9, 1837, Pushkin fought a duel with Dantes, was mortally wounded and died on February 10 in his house on the Moika.
More than 20 operas and more than 10 ballets were created based on Pushkin’s works: M. Glinka “Ruslan and Lyudmila” (opera), 1821. A. Dargomyzhsky “Rusalka”, 1856, “The Stone Guest”, 1868 (operas).

Kavos "Prisoner of the Caucasus" (ballet). A. Arensky "Egyptian Nights", 1900 (ballet) M. Chulaki "The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda", 1940 (ballet). A.

He studied choral conducting under the guidance of A. Arkhangelsky. In 1912 he graduated from the School of Law in St. Petersburg. In 1903 he organized and led the orchestra of Russian folk instruments of workers and employees of the village of Nikolskoye at the crystal factory (Penza province), and acted as a conductor.
In 1916 he participated in the organization of the Society for the Propagation of Playing Folk Instruments and Choral Singing. After 1917 he conducted musical and educational work in the Red Army.

Author of articles in periodicals ("SM", "Ogonyok") on the history of Russian musical culture, choral performance and playing folk instruments, memories of V.V. Andreev, A.A. Arkhangelsk, F.I. Shalyapine, A.N. Esipova and other musicians.
Analysis of literary text.
Who, the waves, stopped you,
Who bound your mighty run,
Who is in the silent and dense pond
Has the rebellious flow turned?
Whose magic wand struck
I have hope, sorrow and joy
And a stormy soul
Have you lulled yourself into a nap of laziness?
Leap up, winds, roar up the waters,
Destroy the disastrous stronghold!
Where are you, thunderstorm - a symbol of freedom?
Rush across the unwitting waters.
The poem reflects the difficult mental state of A.S. Pushkin; it was caused by the suppression of revolutionary movements by the troops of the Holy Alliance (the union of Russia, Prussia and Austria) and the triumph of reaction in Europe, but the poet still hopes for new revolutionary explosions. The poem allegorically depicts the pan-European reaction that strangled all the revolutionary movements of the early 20s. In 1823, as a result of military intervention, the constitution in Spain was destroyed.
Word freedom in the penultimate line introduced by the editor: in the draft manuscript from which this poem is extracted, this place was mistakenly written a second time symbol. The text has not been changed by the composer.
Analysis of means of musical expression.
Batch ranges:
Bass - from A large octave to B small
The tempo changes in each period. In the first - moderato, in the second - meno mosso, in the third - vivo and andante-maestoso.
All periods are non-square, modulating, not repeated.
Dynamics: the first sentence of the first period begins with mf, the second with mp. The first sentence of the second period begins with p and continues in the same dynamics. The third period is f, from the next sentence - mf.
Pauses (quarter notes, eighth notes and half notes) are of great importance in a song.
