Analysis of Voznesensky's poem "Saga"
Probably the most heartfelt song about tragic love was performed in the rock opera Juno and Avos. This is the romance “I will never forget you”, for which Andrey Andreevich Voznesensky wrote poetry in 1977. As well as possible, this poem describes the feelings of the heroes of a rock opera, but it speaks even more about the experiences of the poet himself.
It is known that for seven years Andrei Andreevich had an affair with actress Tatyana Lavrova. It was a forbidden feeling, since both lovers had legal spouses. The attraction was so strong that they could not resist it. But sooner or later, in a relationship between a man and a woman, there comes a moment when passion becomes destructive, brings more suffering than joy, and literally breaks life. Despite the fact that Voznesensky and Lavrova truly loved each other, they had to part.
This is what the Saga is about. In it, the poet speaks in the first person. Talking about a difficult farewell, the poet describes in detail each step of the lyrical hero:
You wake me up at dawn
you will go out unshod.
Each stanza, with the exception of the first and penultimate, ends with an epiphora - the phrase "I will never see you." This constant repetition resembles a prayer and increases the feeling of melancholy and hopelessness. The lyrical hero even exclaims: “God Almighty!”
Undoubtedly, it is very difficult for a hero to leave his beloved. He seeks to protect her from pain, takes care of her health (“shielding you from a cold”), but cannot stay with her, despite the fact that this causes her no less suffering. For the last time, he gazes into those lovely eyes. Here the poet uses an unusual metaphor, comparing them to ripe berries:
Do not blink, tear from the wind
hopeless hazel cherries.
The hero even tries to cheer up and convince himself that it is better this way, that his eyes are watering not from unspoken pain, but from the wind. And that the return will not take place, because this is just a bad omen, and not a bitter fate.
Everything seems to remind the hero of his beloved. Even the water, covered with ripples, is like delicate skin, on which goosebumps appeared from a sudden chill:
This water in the goosebumps of the dam,
this is the Admiralty and the Exchange ...
This painful farewell, thanks to the images used in the poem, becomes like death:
Even if we return to earth
we are a second time, according to Hafiz...
In this stanza, of course, we are talking about the idea of rebirth, which is mentioned in the works of the Persian poet Gafiz (Hafiz) Shirazi. In the next quatrain, the poet compares the omissions that once happened between lovers with the rejection by living souls of the “inanimate emptiness”. The author understands that these ordinary human difficulties are a trifle in the face of eternity and non-existence.
In addition, the last lines also point to death:
And sway with meaningless heights
a couple of phrases flown from here ...
That is, the feeling of the hero is so strong that his words addressed to his beloved reach even the sky, where souls are found after death. However, for the inhabitants of another world, they will be meaningless. However, even if the souls of the lovers meet in the next life, the hero is sure that they are not destined to get to know each other and be happy again.
The work "Saga" is written in anapaest meter. The lines rhyme crosswise (abab). All lines have feminine endings.
Thanks to the mention of places familiar to the modern reader (“Admiralty and the Exchange” on the banks of the Neva in St. Petersburg), picturesque comparisons and images (“water in the goosebumps of the dam”), this poem becomes close and understandable to everyone whose heart has been visited at least once by love. "Saga" is a very strong work that can make any reader empathize with the characters.
) You will wake me up at dawn, you will go out unshod to see me off. You will never forget me. You will never see me.
Having shielded you from a cold, I will think: “God Almighty! I will never forget you. I will never see you." I will never forget this water in the goosebumps of the dam, this Admiralty and the Exchange, and I will never see it again. Do not blink, hopeless brown cherries tear from the wind. Coming back is a bad omen. I will never see you. Even if we return to earth a second time, according to Hafiz, we, of course, will miss each other with you. I will never see you. And our misunderstanding with you will turn out to be so minimal before the future misunderstanding of two living with an inanimate emptiness. And a couple of phrases that have flown from here will sway to a meaningless height: “I will never forget you. I will never see you.". "Genus. in Moscow. The son of a Moscow hydroengineer. From the same yard with Andrei Tarkovsky. In 1957 he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Architecture and marked this ending with the following verses: “Farewell, architecture! Burn wide, cowsheds in cupids, toilets in rococo! He did not enter into poetry, but exploded in it like a bunch of fireworks, scattering with multi-colored metaphors. If I started publishing with very bad poetry, only gradually working out my own poetics, then Voznesensky appeared with a poetics already constructed. Once in the sea of Russian poetry, he immediately swam like a butterfly, and his student floundering remained unknown to readers ... One of his first books is not accidentally called "Mosaic". His own mosaicism helped him, perhaps better than all other Russian poets, to feel the rhythm of the most mosaic country in the world - the USA, which he confused with Russia so that it is difficult to make out where Marilyn Monroe is, where Maya Plisetskaya is. He put metaphor at the forefront, calling it “the motor of form” ... His early metaphors were stunning: “eyes rush over the linden like a skidding motorcycle”, “my cat, like a radio, catches the world with a green eye”, “and from dogs, as from lighters, quiet tongues shine, ”but sometimes shocked:“ a seagull is the melting of God. After Mayakovsky, there was no such metaphorical Niagara in Russian poetry ... In 1963, at a meeting with the intelligentsia in the Kremlin, Khrushchev subjected Voznesensky to all sorts of insults, shouting to him: “Take your passport and get out, Mr. Voznesensky!” However, despite temporary disgrace, Voznesensky's poems continued to be published, and the circulation of his books grew to 200,000. According to his poems, the performances Antimirs were staged in 1964 by the Taganka Theater and Avos at the Lenin Komsomol Theater. Voznesensky was the first writer of our generation to receive the State Prize (1978). Peru Voznesensky owns many essays, where he talks about his meetings with Henry Moore, Picasso, Sartre and other major artists of the XX century. Voznesensky is an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts. (Evgeny Yevtushenko)
Inspired by the love story of Maria de la Concepción, Marcella Argüello (Conchita) and Nikolai Rezanov, Voznesensky (by no means the first in world literature) wrote this poem, which runs like a refrain through the famous rock opera Juno and Avos by composer Alexei Rybnikov. In the 80s, Mark Zakharov's performance "Juno and Avos" in Lenkom became a real sensation, and the role of Rezanov became the star role of actor Nikolai Karachentsov.
Of course, in life, everything happened not quite the way it happened in a rock opera. Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov(Rezanov, emphasis on the second syllable), an outstanding statesman of the times of Catherine and Paul, a chamberlain at the court of Alexander, at the very beginning of the 19th century, made a heroic attempt to strengthen the position of the Russian colonies in North America. It was for this purpose that the first circumnavigation of the Russians in 1803-1806 was organized. on the ships "Nadezhda" and "Neva", known to us as "the journey of Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky". What we know much less is that the true inspirer and organizer of this project was Nikolai Rezanov, and it was him that Alexander I appointed the leader of the expedition, while captains Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky were responsible, quite naturally, for the technical side - for navigation.
Relations between the high-ranking emissary of the emperor and the naval officers did not work out. In conditions when the teams were subordinate to Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky, thousands of miles from St. Petersburg, things actually came to a riot. From Rezanov's letter:
... "Who signed?". - I answered: "Our sovereign Alexander" - "But who wrote?" “I don't know,” I said. “I don’t know,” Lisyansky shouted, “we want to know who wrote, but we know to sign that he will sign everything” ...
The swearing continued, and I was forced, avoiding further insolence, no matter how cruelly I had to pass the equator, without using the air, without going anywhere, until the end of the journey and upon arrival in Kamchatka, I left my cabin for the first time.
In Kamchatka, with the help of the governor and soldiers, the rebellion was extinguished, the officers pleaded guilty and asked for forgiveness, and Rezanov generously forgave the future admiral and hero ...
And then followed the transition to the Japanese Islands, because one of Rezanov's missions was the official embassy to then tightly closed Japan. However, this diplomatic mission ended in complete failure: “The Lord of Japan is extremely surprised by the arrival of the Russian embassy; the emperor cannot accept the embassy, and does not want correspondence and trade with the Russians and asks the ambassador to leave Japan. The Kuril Islands and Sakhalin were already a stumbling block then.
Alaska, Russian America. We still cannot really master Siberia, let alone Alaska, and even 200 years ago ... In short, in order to save several thousand people from starvation, Rezanov decides to immediately descend to California - at that time Spanish. Urgently bought from an Englishman by the name of Woolf, the Juno, which had entered the port for minor repairs, headed south to enter San Francisco Bay in April 1806.
And now, after Japan, having sent Kruzenshtern to the Indian Ocean and further around Europe to St. Petersburg, Nikolai Rezanov ended up in America.
There they met, Rezanov and Conchita.
A Russian diplomat and courtier, superbly educated, with secular manners, who just then turned 42 years old, a widower, who had buried his young wife for three and a half years (Anna Shelikhova, the daughter of a wealthy but ignorant founder of Russian settlements in America, married Rezanov in at the age of 15, gave birth to his son and daughter Olga - and died a few days after giving birth, without having lived with her husband for eight years; Rezanov: “Eight years of our marriage gave me a taste of all the happiness of this life, as if in order to poison her with the loss finally the rest of my days.
Spanish beauty, daughter of the commandant of San Francisco, and later of Santa Barbara. In a strange twist of fate, she, too, had just turned 15 years old. Georg Langsdorf, Rezanov's personal doctor:
She stands out with her majestic posture, her facial features are beautiful and expressive, her eyes are charming. Add here a graceful figure, wonderful natural curls, wonderful teeth and a thousand other charms. Such beautiful women can only be found in Italy, Portugal or Spain, but even then very rarely.
It was not at all difficult for a high-society Petersburger to turn the head of a young provincial beauty. She fell in love - and that says it all. Despite the initial opposition of the girl's parents, the marriage proposal was accepted: Conchita, in her love, was ready to go to the end.
The engagement took place, and it was decided to postpone the wedding for a couple of years, until permission from church authorities was received.
But let's not forget that the main goal of Rezanov, who was annoyed by the failure of the mission in Japan, was still to ensure Russian settlements in Alaska. Was his love so sincere? Hardly... From the report of N. P. Rezanov to St. Petersburg:
Seeing that my situation was not improving, expecting big troubles from day to day and not having the slightest hope for my own people, I decided to change my politeness in a serious tone. Daily courting the Gishpan beauty, I noticed her enterprising character, unlimited ambition, which, at the age of fifteen, already only one of her whole family made her homeland unpleasant ...
They [Conchita's parents - V.A.] resorted to the missionaries, they did not know what to decide on. They took poor Concepsia to church, confessed her, persuaded her to refuse, but her determination finally calmed everyone. The holy fathers left the permission of the Roman See, and if I could not complete my marriage, then I made a conditional act and forced us to be engaged, then it was agreed that this should be a secret until the permission of the Pope. From that time on, putting myself to the commandant in the form of a close relative, I already managed the port of Catholic Majesty in the way that my benefits demanded, and the governor was extremely surprised, amazed, seeing that he assured me at the wrong time of the sincere dispositions of this house and that he himself, so to speak, found himself visiting me ...
A true statesman, Rezanov insists on organizing a Russian settlement north of San Francisco (Fort Ross). Moreover, he sees the prospect of seizing all of her California possessions from Spain. And, of course, the immediate task - to supply Russian America with food - turned out to be brilliantly solved in the end. At the beginning of the summer, the Juno and the very small ship Avos left the shores of California.
What happened next? Further: Rezanov, at his own peril and risk, orders the commanders of these ships to carry out an armed attack on the Japanese settlements of the Kuril Islands in order to secure their belonging to Russia. He himself went through Okhotsk and Irkutsk to Petersburg. Further: an accident occurred near Krasnoyarsk - a fall from a horse on a winter road. In early March 1807, Nikolai Rezanov died in Krasnoyarsk and was buried there.
Shortly before his death, in one of his last letters (to M. M. Buldakov), Rezanov dotted the “and”:
From my California report, my friend, do not consider me an anemone. You have my love in Nevsky under a piece of marble, and here is the result of enthusiasm and a new sacrifice to the Fatherland. Concepcia is sweet as an angel, beautiful, kind-hearted, loves me; I love her, and cry that there is no place for her in my heart, here I am, my friend, as a sinner in spirit, I repent, but you, as my shepherd, SAVE the secret.
... Conchita found out about his death a year later. She never married, devoting herself to charity and earning the nickname "Blessed" among the local population.
45 years after her acquaintance with Rezanov, in 1851, she became the first nun of the first convent in California. In December 1857, Conchita died. She was then almost 67 years old.
The grave of Anna Rezanova is still located in the Nevsky Lavra (“My love is with you in Nevsky under a piece of marble ...”). In America, the grave of Conchita is carefully preserved: in the cemetery of St. Dominica in California, at the tombstone, there are always many flowers.
Rezanov's grave in Krasnoyarsk was already lost in Soviet times. Lost forever: when the Americans arrived in Krasnoyarsk to bow to the ashes of Nikolai Rezanov and leave a handful of earth from the burial place of Conchita on his grave, no efforts of local historians helped to determine the last refuge of a high-ranking Russian diplomat.
Bret Harte, from the poem "Concepción de Argueglio":
... The whole citadel blossomed, the hall was magnificently decorated, The famous traveler, Sir George Simpson shone there. Many people gathered for a solemn banquet, The guest, an English baronet, accepted all the congratulations. The speeches and toasts ceased, and the noise at the table subsided. Someone aloud inadvertently remembered how the groom disappeared. Then Sir George Simpson exclaimed: “No, the groom is not to blame! He died, the poor fellow died forty years ago. He died on the way to Russia, in the race the count fell with his horse. And the bride, right, got married, forgetting about him. Is she alive?" There is no answer, the whole crowd froze. Concha, dressed in black, got up from the table. Only under a white hood did a mournful and insane gaze look at him point-blank, Black coal burnt out. "Is she alive?" - In the silence, the words of Concha in black robes were clearly heard: “No, señor, she is dead!”
Once, in a conversation at the Mayak radio station, Andrei Voznesensky admitted:
Once I dreamed of a poem, I woke up, wrote it down, but in the morning I could not remember what it was. These are the verses in Juno and Avos, they read like a saga. "I will never see you, I will never forget you." Here are my "sleepy" poems...
It is quite possible that Mandelstam’s classic poem “Armenia” had a certain influence on the poet’s dream, in the very first stanza of which Hafiz is mentioned: “You wave the rose of Hafiz // You breathe with octagonal shoulders // Of peasant bull churches ...”, and stanza 11 begins like this: “I will never see you, // The short-sighted Armenian sky…”.
However, what does Gafiz have to do with it, what does Voznesensky or Mandelstam have to do with it! Did the poets come up with a phrase that has been repeated by lovers for centuries ...
"I will never see you, I will never forget you..."
Valentin Antonov, August 2006
"But here I owe Your Excellency a confession of my private adventures. The beautiful Concepcia increased day by day her politeness towards me, her various services, interesting in my position, and her sincerity, which I looked at with indifference for a long time, began to inconspicuously fill the void in my heart; we daily drew closer in explanations, which ended at last with her giving me her hand."
Letter from N. Rezanov to N. Rumyantsev, June 17, 1806.
"Juno and Avos" is one of the most famous Russian rock operas by the composer Alexei Rybnikov based on the verses of the poet Andrei Voznesensky. The premiere took place on July 9, 1981 on the stage of the Moscow Lenin Komsomol Theater (director Mark Zakharov, choreography by Vladimir Vasiliev, artist Oleg Sheintsis), whose repertoire still includes the play. The name of the performance uses the names of two sailing ships, the Juno and Avos, on which the expedition of the Russian traveler, Count Nikolai Rezanov, sailed. The main roles were played by Nikolai Karachentsov (Count Rezanov), Elena Shanina (Conchita), Alexander Abdulov (Federico).
The plot was based on the romantic love story of Nikolai Rezanov and the daughter of the governor of San Francisco, Maria de la Concepción Marcella Arguello. Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov, chamberlain of His Majesty's court, one of the leaders of the first Russian round-the-world expedition, arrived in California in 1806 in order to replenish food supplies for the Russian colony in Alaska. The well-educated and well-bred commander managed to charm the daughter of the commandant of the San Francisco fortress, the beautiful Concepcia de Arguello (Conchita). The engagement took place. The wedding was not predetermined, because an agreement was reached: the groom would return to St. Petersburg and ask for the petition of his emperor before the Pope of Rome for the desired marriage with a Catholic. Nikolai Petrovich himself promised Conchita and her parents that two years would be enough for this, after which he would return and they would find family happiness. However, on the way he fell seriously ill and died in Krasnoyarsk at the age of 42. Conchita did not believe the information that reached her about the death of the groom. Only in 1842, the English traveler George Simpson, arriving in San Francisco, told her the exact details of his death. Believing in his death only thirty-five years later, she took a vow of silence, and a few years later she was tonsured in a Dominican monastery in Monterey, where she spent almost two decades and died in 1857.
After another two centuries, there was a symbolic act of reunion of lovers. On October 28, 2000, in Krasnoyarsk, at the alleged burial place of N.P. Rezanov at the Trinity Cemetery, a memorial service and the opening of the monument took place. The monument is a white cross, on one side of which is written “Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov. 1764-1807. I will never forget you”, and on the other - “Maria Concepción de Argüello. 1791-1857. I will never see you." The memorial service was attended by the Sheriff of Monterey (California, USA) Harry Brown. The sheriff scattered the soil from Conchita's grave on Rezanov's grave, and in return took the earth from Rezanov's grave to scatter it on the grave of Concepcia de Argüello.
This sublimely tragic love story inspired Andrei Voznesensky to create the poem "Avos" in 1970, which later served as the basis for the libretto of a rock opera. According to the poet's memoirs, he began writing "Perhaps" in Vancouver, when he "swallowed ... the flattering pages about Rezanov of the thick volume of J. Lensen, following the fate of our brave compatriot." In addition, Rezanov's travel diary was preserved and partially published, which was also used by Voznesensky. Of course, both the poem and the opera are not documentary chronicles. As Andrei Voznesensky himself wrote, "the author is not so consumed by self-conceit and frivolity as to portray real faces based on scarce information about them and offend them with approximations. Their images, like names, are only a capricious echo of known destinies ..."
Naturally, many arias and scenes had to be written for a theatrical production. In the libretto of the opera, the poet also included the poem "Saga" ("You will wake me up at dawn ..."), written by him in 1977. Since the term "rock opera" was banned at that time (like rock music in general), the authors wrote under the title of the work: "modern opera".
One of the reviews of 2006 on the performance of the theater "Lenkom" "Juno and Avos":
"Juno and Avos" is a cult performance not only for Lenkom, but also for theater Moscow for more than one decade. the performance is perfectly correlated: acting, scenography, color, light, rhythm. It is still fresh and ambiguous, smart and unusually catchy spectacular. Word and thought, music and dance, stage effects, mise en scene design, plasticity of gestures, elegance of costumes - everything The love story of the Russian traveler, chamberlain, Count Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov and the young beauty Conchita, the daughter of the Spanish governor of San Francisco, seems to have been created for a musical performance. stage composition with its inherent poetic conventionality, metaphor, polyphony.Along with this, in Juno and Avos, no matter how In another performance by Zakharov, the theme of eternal Russia sounds with its frantic, only her own lyricism. The performance seems to be filled with strong, deep and lively breathing, in the wonderful romantic atmosphere of which a beautiful love story is played out in front of the audience.
This is indeed a wonderful performance - one of the best productions of Mark Zakharov. Now other actors are already involved in it, but the popularity among the audience is still unabated.
"Juno and Avos", cast: Nikolai Karachentsov, Elena Shanina.
The romance "I'll Never Forget You" eventually acquired an independent life - outside the performance and its plot. He became known throughout the country primarily thanks to the Meridian trio. At her concerts, this romance was often sung by the singer Zhanna Rozhdestvenskaya, whose unique voice sounded in many movie hits of that time. Among the performers were Alexander Marshal, Pavel Smeyan, duet "Smash" and many others...
December 2013. Finale of the second season of the project "Voice". Singing Gela Guralia. The first words are heard: "You will wake me up at dawn ...". Unlike the theatrical version, in Gela this is a monologue in which all the pain of a person parting with his beloved is concentrated, and anticipating (knowing?) That this is forever. I forget that this is a stage with a crowded hall around it, TV cameras, a jury... I only feel this pain, and at the same time, this person's enormous inner strength. Not only the one on whose behalf the artist sings, but also himself - Gela Guralia. Every note is carefully sung, every word is just as carefully and thoughtfully expressed. Perhaps Gela does not connect his performance specifically with the love story of Count Rezanov and Conchita, but when he sings "Having shielded you from a cold ...", I see how the commander, trying to be courageous, carefully covers the bride with his cloak. "Without blinking, hopeless brown cherries are tearing from the wind" - and I really feel the piercing wind, I see longing and despair in the brown eyes of his bride ... It is impossible not to empathize with this monologue. Only those who are not endowed with this ability at all, empathy, can remain indifferent.
As I already said, the romance "I will never forget you" was sung by many wonderful artists, the voice of Nikolai Karachentsov will always remain in my memory ... But my heart stops only when I hear how Gela Guralia sings this saga. What a blessing that the romance entered his concert repertoire. Each time it sounds different, awakening new emotions and feelings, one thing remains unchanged - the joy of contact with what is called the highest art. “I don’t do anything extra. I try to convey the meaning of the song with my voice, sound, this is the most important thing,” Gela once said. The romance "I will never forget you" serves as a vivid example and confirmation of this.
