Works about nature is 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 outstanding writers and composers, and were sung by them in immortal creations. There are stories, poems, musical compositions that allow you to recharge with 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 about nature
Russian literature is rich in stories, novellas, poems, which are an ode to the native land. Mikhail Prishvin can be called a striking example of a person who is especially successful in works about nature. Not surprisingly, he earned a reputation as 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 about nature is "The pantry of the sun" - a story that is one ofthe best works of the author. The writer in it shows how deep the connection between people and the world that surrounds them is. The descriptions are so good that the reader seems to see groaning trees, a gloomy swamp, ripe cranberries with his own eyes.
Tyutchev's work
Tyutchev is a great Russian poet, in whose work a great place is given to the beauties of the surrounding world. His works about nature emphasize its diversity, dynamism, and diversity. By describing various phenomena, the author conveys the process of the flow of life. Of course, he also has a call to take responsibility for the planet, addressed to all readers.
Tyutchev especially loves the theme of the night - the time when the world is plunged into darkness. An example is the poem "A veil has descended on the daytime world." The poet in his works can call the night a saint or emphasize its chaotic character - it depends on the mood. The description of the sunbeam that "perched on the bed" in his creation "Yesterday" is also wonderful.
Pushkin's lyrics
Listing works about the nature of Russian writers, one cannot fail to mention the work of the great Pushkin, for whom she remained a source of inspiration throughout her life. It is enough to recall his poem "Winter Morning" to conjure up the features of this season in your imagination. The author, apparently in an excellent mood, talks about how beautiful the dawn is at this time of the year.
A completely different mood is conveyed by his “Winter Evening”, which is part of the compulsory school curriculum. In it, Pushkin describes a snowstorm in a slightly gloomy and frightening way, comparing it to a furious beast, and the oppressive sensations that it causes in him.
Many works about nature by Russian writers are devoted to autumn. Pushkin, who values this time of the year above all, is no exception, despite the fact that in his famous work “Autumn” the poet calls it “a dull time”, however, immediately refuting this characteristic with the phrase “glamor of the eyes.”
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 even 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 feel the smell of trees (pine, oak), see the “painted tower” painted with bright colors, hear the sounds of foliage. Bunin perfectly shows the characteristic autumn nostalgia for the past summer.
Bunin's works about Russian nature 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, feel the atmosphere of August with its warm rains, breathe in the morning freshness. Many of his other creations are also permeated with love for Russian nature: “River”, “Evening”, “Sunset”. And in almost every one of them there is a call to readers to appreciate whatthey have.
What else to read
An enthusiastic attitude towards nature is characteristic of Fet, who has works for every mood. It will be possible to mourn, enjoying reading his soothing “Wonderful Picture”. A romantic mood is created by his "Whisper, Timid Breath", sending readers into the silence of a summer night, filled with nightingale trills and the murmur of a stream.
If we talk about the poet's preferences, then most of all he admires spring, unlike Pushkin, who loved autumn first of all. Fet in his poems welcomes the renewal that this season brings, at the same time expressing his feeling of slight longing.
Tchaikovsky's work
Not only literary works about nature can make people feel the stirring of leaves, hear the sound of the surf or bird voices. Music created by a talented composer also brilliantly copes with this difficult task. Proof of this is the work of Tchaikovsky, for example, his magical "Four Seasons". Having settled on the genre of piano miniatures, the composer tells the audience about 12 months.
“The Seasons” is the chirping of the lark, the beauty of the white nights, the awakening of the snowdrop, the rocking of the 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 captures the attention of listeners with peals of thunder,captivates them with the noise of raindrops, the violence of the winds and the stillness of the night.
Rimsky-Korsakov compositions
It's no secret that above all the great composer loved the sea. It is not surprising, because he happened to serve on the Almaz clipper ship, 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 is the opera "Sadko", where the theme of the ocean-sea is clearly traced. A few sounds are enough for the composer to emphasize the invincible power that the waves conceal. This power is maintained throughout the piece.
Of course, these are not all outstanding musical and literary works dedicated to natural beauties.
