The crane song (Сыңрау торна) is a Bashkir folk tale.[1]
History
The fairy tale " Crane Song" reflected the totemic ideas of the Bashkirs. The sacred birds of the Bashkirs were cranes, swans, ravens, etc.
The Bashkir melody "Crane Song" was published in 1894 by the composer, ethnographer Sergey Rybakov in his book "Music and Songs of the Ural Muslims with Essays on Their Life".
Based on the plot of the fairy tale, the ballet "Crane Song" was staged in 1944 at the Bashkir State Opera and Ballet Theater in Ufa [2] . Music by Zaghir Ismagilov and Leo (Lev) Stepanov. Libretto by Fayzi Gaskarov.
It was the first ballet that six-year-old Rudolf Nureyev saw in Ufa. He made a strong impression on him, he always considered Zaytuna Nasretdinova one of the best ballerinas.
In 1960, the ballet "Crane Song" was filmed by the Sverdlovsk Film Studio. [3]
In 1992, the famous Bashkir poet Rami Garipov wrote the poem Crane Song. Since then, the song has become popular.
Plot
In ancient times, there lived a mighty hero. He had no equal in strength, courage and intelligence. The young man was a renowned musician (he played quray, bashkir longitudinal flute) and a singer. The hero got married, his wife bore him a son. His son was like his father in everything. He grew up and the father decided to marry his son. One day the yuong man went on horseback to his bride's father and left his horse nearby to graze in the meadow.
In the morning, when the young man came for the horse, he heard a beautiful melody and ran towards the sounds. Approaching, he began to observe. A flock of cranes was playing in the clearing. In the center stood a grey crane. When the bird flapped wings, it hummed melodicly. Everyone else joined it and began to spin.
The young man remembered the melody, jumped on his horse and rushed to his father-in-law's house. He took the quray and began playing the crane song. The people were listening with rapt attention to the melody. One old man stepped forward and reminded people that the crane dances portend a great disaster, a big battle in which many people will die.
The old warrior gave his weapon to his son and ordered to gather an army. Soon the enemy invaded their land. The brave young hero with his army defeated the enemies.
Since then people called that melody "The Crane Song".
The lake where the battle took place is called Yaugul (Battle+Lake). It is located in the Baymaksky District of Bashkortostan.
Earlier people were afraid to sing this melody often.
