Evgeny Golubev

Yevgeny Kirilovitch Golubev (Russian: Евгений Кириллович Голубев; * 3.jul / February 16 1910greg in Moscow, .. † December 25, 1988 ) was a Russian composer.

Life

Golubev gained his first musical experience in a church choir. Because of his unusual talent, he was at the age of nine years, students of Gnessins Institute, where he first piano, and later received instruction in music theory (including polyphony Heinrich Litinski ). From 1931 he studied composition at the Moscow Conservatory with Nikolai Myaskovsky. He also took private lessons with Sergei Prokofiev in 1935.

In 1936 he completed his studies with the oratorio " The Solstice " by Lappish folk texts. Following Golubev remained at the Conservatory and graduated in 1938 with a postgraduate Myaskovsky. From 1937 to 1959 he taught there himself polyphony, from 1938 composition. In 1947 he received a professorship; 1956 to 1959 he headed the Department of Composition. As an educator Golubev played an important role; almost all young composers took in that time polyphony lessons from him. His own composition class arose from a number of well-known composers such as Tatiana Nikolaeva, Andrei Eschpai, Alfred Schnittke and Andrei Golovin.

Golubev was involved in the Moscow Composers 'Union and was from 1962 to 1974 chairman of the department piano with " Sovetsky compositor ", the music publisher of the Soviet Composers' Union. In 1961 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, 1966 the title of " People's Artist of the RSFSR " award. Golubev also appeared as a pianist mainly his own works in appearance. For his works, among others, his pupil Tata Jana Nikolajewa began as a pianist.

Tonal language

Golubews musical language is deeply rooted in the Russian tradition. In particular, the influence of his teacher Mjaskowski can be shown in many works; especially with regard to harmony, melody and rhythm. The compositional attitude Golubews similar to those Mjaskowskis: traditional models and shapes starting, he developed a more conservative, academic primed style of music, the seriousness and the compositional craft in the foreground. Other composers to which Golubev moved, for example, were Nikolai Medtner, Anatoly Alexandrov or Samuil Feinberg.

Another, though less vocal influence in Golubews work is the music of French Impressionism, above all Maurice Ravel. This line can be traced to some extent in Golubews harmony, but also evident in the tone of some piano pieces and especially in chamber music with harp. Similarly, there is also a point of attachment to the work of Alexander Scriabin's.

Golubews work in stylistically quite consistent, only a slight modernization farther advanced in the sense of harmony and freer treatment of tonality can be fixed in later works. In Soviet music scene Golubev took a special position; one of the few composers he led ( at most comparable with Vissarion Schebalin ) continued the tradition Myaskovsky. The characteristic for most Soviet composer Shostakovich's influences are his work as strange as that of his temporary teacher Prokofiev; also in the party -bounded flows (about Chrennikows ) can not be classified Golubev. Since the end of the Soviet Union Golubev is mainly perceived in his role as an educator.
