Many of those who grew up in Soviet times,remember what were the children's songs. They sang about friendship, kindness and honesty. Among them were sad and cheerful. But most importantly, for most of those living in the post-Soviet space these songs remind of a happy and carefree childhood. One such song is "Together cheerfully walk". A simple text and an uncomplicated melody do not prevent it from being one of the most favorite children's songs so far.
And in fact for the first time it has sounded in a film aboutvillage detective Aniskin back in 1978. It was performed by the Great Children's Choir with its main soloist Dima Golov. It was quickly picked up all over the Soviet Union, and now the words "Together cheerfully to walk" were heard on children's matinees and school evenings. And this is not an accident, but rather a pattern. The authors of this hit, as they would say in our time, were real mastodons of the Soviet stage - Vladimir Shainsky and Mikhail Matusovsky. Both of them by that time were the authors of many songs, not just children's songs.
Today, when everything is rethought and distorted inpeople's minds, the words "Together cheerfully to walk together" seem to many to be a reflection of the ideology of Soviet society, where everyone should have been the same. But it's unlikely that the authors themselves have invested this meaning. The song not only says that together it's fun to walk and sing in chorus, but also that any case is hard only in the beginning. Better yet, ask for help from your friends, then much will be easier and more fun. This is what the words of the song say: "Once - a tablet, two - a board, there will be a ladder", etc. The most interesting thing is that the children understand this song so far. And only adults see it as a subtext.
So it is or not, already, probably, it does not matter. Already more than one generation of children has grown up to the sound of a simple melody, and the lyrics of the song "Together cheerfully walk along the expanses" have become folk songs. Most likely, it is a simple melody and simple words - the secret of its popularity. And indeed, everyone who heard it at least once, was surely humming it over and over again. And this is the case for almost 35 years.
But old children's songs are relevant today. This is confirmed by the fact that they are necessarily taught at school music lessons. And this is paid attention at the highest level. True, as always, there were opponents of such compulsory choral singing. But they also do not know what to sing to children instead of Soviet songs. The fact is that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, such a genre as a children's song has practically disappeared. In a new world, where money was the main thing, little attention was paid to raising children. And in fact in the last 20 years, new songs for children simply did not appear.
As a result, until there is a new repertoire, once forat once, no matter what the meaning of the text, the song "Together cheerfully walk through the spaces" will sound in schools and kindergartens. And in fact it's very good that modern children, like their parents, will sing about true friendship and kindness. Perhaps this and other songs of the Soviet times will teach them to believe in a better future, be more attentive to others and always offer their help to friends.
