The song "Marichka", which became popular, is 57 years old, and its heroine is 75, ANNIVERSARY OF THE SONG. "The restless river winds like a snake…" This song claims to be entered in the Guinness Book of Records for long-term popularity on the Ukrainian stage, and the prototype of its heroine - Maria Feodorovna Kiselytsia - on the standard of modesty and inner beauty. So while politicians are debating whether a cook can run the country, talented Bukovynians - poet Mykhailo Tkach, composer Stepan Sabadash and singer Dmytro Hnatyuk - have proved with a song that has flown around the world that the culinary prima can control the most sophisticated strings of the human heart. Especially convincing in this case was the composer and accordionist Stepan Sabadash, who won the queen of Romania at one of the international music competitions. She is said to have invited him to work in her country, but the artist is convinced that the most beautiful cooks in Ukraine can inspire him to work, because "as soon as you move to Cheremosh, you want to sing." And it all started easily and playfully, as soon as he could in his youth. Medical students came to practice at Putyla District Hospital. Fresh air seemed to be most available in the postwar 1950s, when a loaf of white bread was tastier than a cake. The chief doctor of the mountain district, comforted by such professional help, housed young colleagues in the same hospital and allowed them to eat in the dining room, where a 16-year-old cute hutsul Marichka was a skilled cook. To flatter the young queen of catering, the clever guys instructed their talented colleague, who was still familiar with Pegasus, to write her an ode in the hope that her good mood will definitely affect the amount of lunch. However, the girl understood the stomach dreams of future Aesculapians without words. As the late poet-singer, author of "Ash", "Snow on a Green Leaf" and almost hundreds of other songs, Mikhail Tkach, said seven years ago at a creative meeting with his fans on the occasion of the half-century anniversary of the song, the beauty of the mountains was invested in this poem. and girls who confused the soul. I read the poem for the first time at the Karpaty district stadium on the Harvest Day. When the poem was announced, Marichka was worried: what did that student come up with! After the first lines, “A restless river winds like a snake, huddled close to the foot of the mountains. And on the other side - there lives Marichka, in a house hidden in a green forest. As soon as he leaves the house, he will be on the threshold - the width of the river shines with dew. And when she smiles, look at her forehead: "Even if you jump into the water, the boys say…" she calmed down. "Did they love each other - the cook and the student?" New generations have been asking themselves this question for decades. And even when Maria Kiselytsia was invited to a meeting with the poet half a century later, she heard this from her neighbor, who did not even know that the heroine of the work was nearby. Because even then she had a fiancé, whom she later married and had three children. Her husband always ordered her song for family anniversaries and birthdays. And the Putils were not lazy to call their compatriot every time the song was played on radio and television. And the composer Stepan Sabadash in 1960 created in Chernivtsi popular, twice twice folk ensemble "Marichka", naming it after the song, which became one of the landmarks of the region, presents Ukraine in many countries and continents.
"Marichka" from the Carpathians A popular pop song celebrated its anniversary, and the beautiful Marichka is not fiction, but a real person Praskovya Nechaeva. February 23, 2006 - 19:23. Almost 50 years have passed since the time when he lived in Bukovina and worked as a choir conductor, played the accordion brilliantly, and the talented musician Stepan Sabadash wrote songs. They knew him very well, especially the youth, because he led the orchestra and played dances. Then there were no discos even in the wildest fantasies, so the guys and girls danced waltzes, tangos, foxtrots and mazurkas to live music. And it was difficult and prestigious to get a ticket to the House of Officers, "to Sabadash". There was even a legend in Chernivtsi that Stepan Alekseevich, with his art as an accordionist, conquered the Romanian queen, who offered him to move to Bucharest (Bukovina was then part of Romania) to listen to his play. However, the musician refused. In fact, this is not a legend at all, but a fact of the biography of Stepan Sabadash .... Already from early childhood, he felt such a craving for music that he decided to make his own violin. Everything worked out, but the strings were made of ordinary wire and the violin did not make the necessary sounds. But the uncle helped, found a teacher for the boy. He began to study with Stepan, corrected the violin. The musical life began. The parents, hard-working Bukovinian peasants, did not take their son's musical studies seriously at all, they needed his help with the housework, in the field more. Violin lessons brought even less pleasure to the neighbors, because the guy sat behind the hut and performed the exercises given by the teacher. And they still had little resemblance to real music ... But in the end, adults realized that music was most important for Stepan. He studied successfully and quickly mastered various instruments, so he was soon invited to play in adult wedding orchestras. Subsequently, Sabadash entered the Chernivtsi Conservatory (there was one in Chernivtsi before the Second World War) and won one of the music competitions, where the queen of Romania heard him ... The Romanians left Bukovina in 1944, at the same time they defeated the Germans. Stepan Sabadash began working in the orchestra of the Chernivtsi Regional Theatre, conducting the working choir of a knitwear factory, playing dances in the House of Officers and writing songs. It was still far from his finest hour. In 1955, the regional House of Folk Art announced a competition for the best music for the poem "Marichka", which was written by Mikhail Tkach, a student at the Chernivtsi Medical Institute. Stepan Sabadash also decided to participate in this competition - he liked the poems. The poet himself told the story of the creation of "Marichka" more than once in his interviews. But I was lucky to hear it from the lips of the heroine - Maria Fedorovna Kisilitsa, who still lives in the village of Putila, Chernivtsi region. Marichka was 18 years old, she worked in the district hospital in the kitchen. In the summer of 1954, students of the Chernivtsi Medical Institute came to practice. It was quite difficult with housing in Putila, and the chief doctor settled the guys in the hospital and allowed them to eat there. The young people had a good appetite, and they wanted to eat even more in the fresh Carpathian air, so they decided to find an approach to the cooks. In a rather original way: Mikhail Tkach was instructed to work "for the common good" - to write a dedication poem to the beautiful Marichka. Of course, Marichka had no idea about this conspiracy, and since she was an honest and decent person, she fed the children well. In relations she was very restrained, she did not look at visitors, because she had a fiancé - a handsome and hard-working guy. The poet himself, having written poems, was in no hurry to give them to the girl. Maria Feodorovna recalls that when she heard her name, she almost burned with shame and fear: after all, it is not known what this student will say! How then to look parents and people in the eye? But when I heard the first lines: “At first, the snake, the restless river, To snuggle close until the sun rises. And on that boat, Marichka lives there in the hut, who hid by the greenery of the bir, ”she was pleased that this was about her. Five decades have passed since then, but when he hears the song “Marichka” on the radio or television, he always remembers that day. The countrymen of Maria Fedorovna also remember who this song is about, and, having heard it, they call on the phone and ask: “Are you listening to your song, Marichka?” The song was not born immediately. When Mikhail Tkach returned from practice in Chernivtsi, he took the poems to the regional house of folk art. And a competition was announced for the best music for them. Almost 40 amateur composers sent their works. Stepan Sabadash won. When the happy author brought the song to the regional philharmonic, they refused to include it in the repertoire - "weak". However, this song was destined for a happy fate, because the head of the Bukovina Song and Dance Ensemble Alla Serebri saw the notes. And prepared with a choir. And later "Marichka" was liked by the Honored Artist of Ukraine Dmitry Gnatiuk. It was in his performance that this song became famous far beyond the borders of Ukraine. In 1961, Stepan Sabadash, working at the Palace of Culture of Light Industry Workers, created the Marichka vocal ensemble, which still exists today. The song became the hallmark of the group, and its melody is the call sign of the radio "Bukovyna". But it would be unfair and sad to reduce the work of Stepan Alekseevich Sabadash to one song. After all, his “Song from the Polonini” to the verses of Elena Ponomarenko, “Ochі voloshkovі” to the verses of Boris Demkiv soared to the heights of popularity. But it would be fair to assume that it was "Marichka" that became the impetus for the creation of original lyrical songs by other talented composers of Bukovyna. A few years after "Marichka", the world was conquered by "Cheremshin" by Vasily Mikhailik, which in 1964 was recognized as one of the most popular in the world, it was translated into different languages, even into Japanese. And "Marichka" is not forgotten even today. And even the expressions from this song went into the category of "winged". More than once one has to hear an appeal to a girl: “Charivna Marichko!” or the playful characterization of the beauty “And if you smile at the other speed, you want to jump near the water, it seems like a couple” ... The light and gentle melody of the song, beautiful words warm people's hearts. Praskovya NECHAYEVA, especially for The Day Newspaper: No. 30, (2006).

Igor Poklad Olga SMETANSKAYA, "FACTS" Composer Igor Poklad tells about the author of the words, poet Mikhail Tkach The song "Marichka" performed by Dmitry Gnatyuk is considered by many to be folk. Get in, why the snake, Restless river, snuggle close Up to pidnizhzhya gir. And on that boci, Marichka lives there, In hati, scho hid Have green bir. These wonderful words exactly 55 years ago were written by the Ukrainian poet, author of the famous songs “Ash trees”, “Yakscho love - kohai”, “Dawn of the night”, “Snig on a green leaf” Mikhail Tkach. As a student, Mikhail did medical practice in the Carpathian town of Putila and was fascinated by the beauty of the local girl Marichka, who worked in the canteen of the district hospital. The poet dedicated his lyrics to her. The composer Stepan Sabadash wrote music to the words of Mikhail Tkach. The first performer of "Marichka" was Dmytro Gnatyuk. Then it was performed by Nazariy Yaremchuk and Vasily Zinkevich. About what kind of person Mikhail Tkach was, Dmitro Gnatyuk, composer Igor Poklad and Tkach's daughter Lesya, who now lives in Moscow, told FACTS. Dmytro Gnatyuk: "The works of Mikhail Tkach really liked Shcherbitsky" - I was the first performer of the song "Marichka", - says the legendary singer Dmytro Gnatyuk . - Mikhail Tkach is my countryman. We are both from Bukovina. When I arrived at my relatives, Misha came to visit and offered cooperation. I am older than him, even then I was a People's Artist of the USSR. Misha loved his land very much, and I admired this love of his. - Is it true that Vladimir Vasilievich Shcherbitsky really liked the songs of Mikhail Tkach? - Yes. They were performed more than once at government concerts. Listeners always asked to sing an encore. And I fulfilled their request. Igor Poklad: “In the Carpathians, we climbed such heights! And amazing craftsmen lived there.” - We met Misha at a fairly mature age, when he had already written the songs “Marichka”, “Ash trees”, “Sinu, pitching fly,” says People's Artist of Ukraine Igor Poklad . - At that time he worked with composers Platon Mayboroda, Alexander Bilash, Igor Shamo. Often we gathered on Bankova Street in the Writers' Union of Ukraine. There was a billiard room - one for the whole center of Kyiv. The tables—there were two of them—were constantly occupied. The creative intelligentsia flocked there. Writers, poets, composers... It was the 70s of the last century. Usually played "on 50 grams". The loser "exhibited". We went to the cafe "Eney" and relaxed there. *Mikhail Tkach was an open person with a pure soul. That's why his songs are so deep, heartfelt. Was Mikhail Nikolaevich a gambler? - Very passionate, emotional. I wanted to win at any cost. He often played with Bilash, with whom he had collaborated for a long time. Misha and I came to joint creativity quite unexpectedly. He worked on the script for a documentary film about the folk crafts of the Carpathians, invited me to go to his region. It was an incredibly interesting journey. We climbed such heights! Communicated with unique craftsmen: embroiderers, carvers, artists. I was amazed by the talent of these people, who were practically cut off from the world. In their dwellings there was no gas, no water, no light, no telephone - nothing. And they created masterpieces. After this trip, we dreamed of buying a hut high in the mountains to come in summer and winter, to communicate with nature. Then, if you count in dollars, it cost 500 dollars. As they say, a penny, but the hands did not reach. By the way, this trip inspired us to create the song "My Dolenko", which was then performed by Viktor Shportko. Then we wrote some songs for Sofia Rotaru. Sometimes I had to close Misha in the room so that he could sit and work. After all, he is used to it: he will write poetry and give it to the composer. And I like to work with poets in conjunction, to adapt the poem to music. That's the kind of creative torment we had at first. Later we created the folk-opera "Chumatsky Frescoes", the play "Svatana - Nevinchana". For Dmytro Gnatyuk they wrote the song "Ukraine is mine". An expert on folk roots, legends and tales has not been and is not equal to Misha. - This year marks the 55th anniversary of the famous song of Mikhail Tkach "Marichka", which was a landmark in his fate. - In honor of this song, Misha even named his eldest daughter Marichka. The song was played at his 70th birthday and at a concert dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the song. Folk talents from all over Ukraine came together. And when the same Marichka, to whom Misha dedicated poetry, appeared on the stage of the Palace "Ukraine" in the final, many in the hall could not hold back their tears. I remember all this and think how much I miss Misha today. He was a very sociable person. Often, Nazariy Yaremchuk, Vasya Zinkevich, Viktor Shportko gathered at his house ... Among Misha's friends was the writer Vasyl Zemlyak, many artists. The tables in Tkach's house were bursting with dishes prepared by his wife, Lyusya. It was a pleasure to visit him for the holidays. Although the main thing is still not what you eat, but with whom you talk. - What was Mikhail Tkach interested in? - He loved cars. Even when he was over seventy, he drove himself from Kyiv to Chernivtsi. And then Misha fell ill - a brain tumor. He was tormented for about two years - he did not talk, he could not even eat on his own. Where did it come from? He tried to lead a healthy lifestyle. At the age of 50, in one fell swoop, as they say, he quit smoking. I made a decision and never touched cigarettes again. But the disease was merciless ... Lesya Tkach: “When singers came to visit us, the neighbors never complained, on the contrary, they said that they were happy to listen” “Dad met my mother, who is from Buryatia, in Moscow, where he studied at literary courses,” says the youngest daughter of Tkach Lesya . - From Moscow, my mother moved to Ukraine, learned the Ukrainian language. Mom was a good ophthalmologist, but she devoted her whole life to her father and us children. - Your father's co-authors, composers Igor Poklad and Alexander Zlotnik, with whom I recently talked, still remember her treats. Mom could cook dumplings in 15 minutes. Dad was very fond of with cottage cheese, cabbage, potatoes. And of course with cracklings. My mother’s potato was very tasty “cossack style” with onion-garlic gravy. Baked potatoes were dipped in it and eaten with lard. The Marenichi trio also visited us: Valery with his sister and wife. They sang my father's song "Three poplars on three sides." After the concerts, Nazariy Yaremchuk, Vasily Zinkevich, Dmytro Gnatyuk, Ivo Bobul, Pavlo Dvorsky came in a company ... Many came, being close to our house, because we lived on Khreshchatyk in the Passage. Dad loved to treat friends and colleagues with Carpathian “brandy”, which his father made himself and passed on to us from the Chernivtsi region. This "brandy" called "Manuscript" was infused with walnuts and was of excellent quality. They drank for a "happy share." We had a piano in the living room, the guests always played music and sang. It was fun, noisy, but the neighbors never complained, on the contrary, they said that they listened with pleasure. - Which of the artists was your father friends with? — With Nazariy Yaremchuk. In Chernivtsi, they went fishing, to the mountains for mushrooms. We traveled a lot in Ukraine. When Nazariy died, his father wrote the song "Wine of Sorrow". It was performed by Dmytro Gnatyuk. Dad was also friends with Alexander Bilash. Often they went hunting, went for crayfish to the Kiev Sea. Caught them at night and immediately cooked. Was your father strict? - No, very kind. He has four of us. Two sons from my first marriage and Marichka and I. One brother, unfortunately, died. And the other is a well-known gastroenterologist in Kyiv, the author of more than a hundred scientific papers. We are very friendly with him. From childhood, my father instilled in us a love of travel. When a car appeared in the family, a blue Moskvich, they often drove it to my father's native village of Lukachany. I remember the first time we drove for a very long time, about 12 hours. The roads were bad, we constantly lost our way. But folk songs were sung along the way, so time flew by quickly. In the future, singing songs during trips became our family tradition. Has your father been abroad? - Not once. In Canada, where his songs are loved and known, in Romania. He knew the language of this country perfectly, so he made many translations of Romanian poetry. Traveled to the USA, countries of Eastern Europe. Always brought gifts. He brought me jeans from Canada, before that I didn’t have them. Always guessed with the size. What surprise did your father remember the most? - Once dad brought a live rooster. They wanted to fry him, but regretted it, and he lived in our kitchen for several weeks. I was eight years old then, and I was very afraid of him. Coming home after school, I propped up the door in the kitchen with a chair (laughs). And once dad put a fish in the bath. - What inspired him in his work? He worked at night when the family was asleep. The day is busy. He accompanied me to school. Somehow a shepherd dog attacked us, and dad covered me with himself. The dog bit him badly. Walking with my sister Marichka in the yard, we loved to shout under the balcony: “Mom, dad! Can we play in the next yard? Because of this, a writer neighbor constantly complained about her father to the Writers' Union, wrote that the children of Tkach prevented her from working. Inspiration came to my father while fishing. Dad built a dacha near Kiev, in Zazimye, where he loved to fish. Did the terrible diagnosis come as a surprise? - Seryozha, our brother, during a routine examination, discovered kidney cancer in his father. The timely operation extended my father's life by ten years. But cancer is an insidious disease... During the last years, when my father was paralyzed, our aunt Nadya, my father's sister, and her husband took care of him. They took dad to Chernivtsi and provided him with perfect care. But, alas, it was not possible to save him. Did your father live a happy life? - I think yes. Absolutely everything pleased him: delicious dumplings, the bright sun, a good anecdote, the victory of Dynamo Kiev, for which he was rooting ... He had an unusually open and pure soul. We also felt happy next to him.
