Significant events in the world of music - BIRTHDAYS

P celebrated Italian librettist and playwright was born January 13, 1698. Success came to him 1724, after setting "Abandoned Dido" written especially for the beloved poet, singer Marianna Romanini.

However, if Goldoni glorified Italian comedy, Alfieri- a tragedy and Gozzi generally created a new genre (fiabu), then Metastasio reached unprecedented heights in the genre of opera. It should immediately be noted here that, according to the terminology of the 18th century, a drama intended for music should be called precisely an opera, and not a libretto, as is customary now, which is largely true, since the libretto is often understood as auxiliary material for the composer, while the best examples of musical drama of the 18th century are masterpieces in themselves, even without musical accompaniment.

According to a long tradition in the Melankn parubotska, the role of the main ritual character was played by a guy dressed in a women's folk costume.

Dates January 13

On the night of January 13-14, the tradition of celebrating the Old New Year comes from the divergence of the Julian calendar (or otherwise the "old style" calendar) and the Gregorian calendar - the one that almost the whole world now lives by. The divergence of calendars in the 20th-21st centuries is 13 days.

The Old New Year is a rare historical phenomenon, an additional holiday that resulted from a change in the chronology. Due to this discrepancy in calendars, we celebrate two "New Years" - according to the old and new styles. Thus, on the night of January 13-14, everyone can afford to "complete" their favorite holiday. Indeed, for many believers, the Old New Year has special meaning, since they can celebrate it wholeheartedly only after the end of the Advent.

Interestingly, the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars increases every century when the number of hundreds in the year from the birth of Christ is not a multiple of four, by one day. Therefore, from March 1, 2100, this difference will be 14 days. And from 2101, Christmas and the Old New Year will be celebrated a day later.

Today, the popularity of the Old New Year is growing from year to year, and Russia is no exception. Everything more people treat it as an independent holiday that prolongs the charm of the New Year or allows you to feel this charm for the first time. After all, this holiday is more peaceful, it is not characterized by the fuss that is an inevitable companion of the New Year.

Opening the front door, a scarecrow fell on the owner, and there was a note on the scarecrow, which said that Knut came and drove Christmas away, the owner should not have let him stand, and had to throw this scarecrow to the neighbors. The neighbor to whom the effigy was tossed was always interested in who did it.

When the culprit was found, the owner, according to tradition, undressed the prankster, and instead of his clothes dressed him in the clothes of that stuffed animal. When the owner managed to do this, the whole village found out about it, and for a whole year the girls refused to dance with this man.

And if the mischievous person was able to avoid such punishment, that is, the neighbor could not find the culprit, this stuffed animal wandered to the next house.
