A call for winter to retreat. Winter calls - folk calendar traditions and fun
Calls- small songs intended to be sung by a group of children. Many of them are accompanied by game actions that imitate the process of peasant labor.
All phenomena and forces of nature: the sun, rainbow, thunder, rain, wind, as well as the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter - live in the call as animate beings. The child himself comes into contact with them, a conspiracy: the sun asks for warmth and affection, for a generous summer; rainbow - “to interrupt the rain”; thunder - feel sorry for the house, do not frighten the end, geese, children; tells the rain what to water and how much water to pour out; promises a gift for good work - cook borscht, give a cucumber.
The chant contains not just an appeal to natural elements, but a range of feelings expressed in words, rhythm, intonation - experiences, admiration, tenderness, delight. Emotions of joy, trust, confidence in the good are embedded in the very structure of the verse - in the wave-like repetitions, in the change of pictures-requests, in the rhythm - lively, perky, in the sound of every line, every word.
The nickname gives birth to faith in the child in the weight and significance of the word. This belief is strengthened by the very effect of the spell and at the same time by a feeling of security in the event of an unfavorable outcome of the request, because the child always turns to the forces of nature together with other children (possibly adults).
Calls, as well as stoneflies, sentences are called traditional, they were passed down from generation to generation.
They conjure spring and the sun:
Spring is red!
What did you bring?
Warm summer
Mushrooms in birch bark,
Berries in a basket,
Open the window!
Sunshine, sunshine,
Look out the window.
The kids are waiting for you
The youngsters are waiting.
Bucket sun,
Come out from behind the bald spot.
Sit on a tree stump
Walk all day.
Sunny, show yourself!
Red, gear up!
Hurry up, don't be shy,
Warm us guys up!
Sunny, show yourself!
Red, gear up!
So that year after year
The weather gave us:
Warm summer
Mushrooms in birch bark,
Berries in a basket,
Green peas.
Sun, sun,
Shine it out the window
Let the oats grow
To grow to the skies;
Mother Rye
To stand completely like a wall.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We sow livestock all day long!
Shine, sunshine, from the sky for us,
To have more bread;
For the kids to have fun
Nuts grew in the forest,
So that the sheaves are thick,
So that flax goes into canvas;
Green hops climbed onto the tree,
So that there are half a dozen peas!
Sunshine, shine it out!
Red, shine!
We're going to the field
We carry sickles.
Let's reap life,
Waiting for you to visit!
When there is no rain or a little rain, they usually sing in chorus, calling out the rain:
It's raining, it's raining,
We have been waiting for you for a long time:
With clean water
With silk grass,
With azure color,
Happy warm summer!
Let the rain fall harder
For wheat, for buckwheat.
For peas, for barley
Water all long day!
And for millet, for rye
Water as much as you like!
Rain, rain, more,
I'll give you the grounds
I'll go out onto the porch,
I'll give you a cucumber.
I'll give you a loaf of bread too -
Water as much as you want!
Rain, rain, more fun
Drip, drip, don't be sorry!
Just don't get us wet!
Don't knock on the window in vain.
Thunder booming
Crack the clouds
Give it some rain
From the heavenly steep.
Rain, rain,
I'll cook you some borscht,
I'll put it on an oak tree
In a green pot.
Don't hesitate, little oak,
Don't spill, pot!
It's raining like rain,
Water with a ladle:
To Ivanov and Alen,
So that they sow all the flax.
Seki, seki, rain,
On grandma's rye,
For grandfather's seed -
May it rise on time.
When spring brings long rains, floods and bad weather, the children ask the rainbow to take away the rain:
Rainbow-arc,
Don't let it rain
Come on sunshine
Red bucket.
Rainbow-arc,
Beat the rain -
Again into the night
It's pouring with all its might;
Beat the thunder
I wouldn't get into the house.

Your little one will definitely love this unusual book from the “Seasons” series! Bright pictures sculpted from plasticine will attract his attention, and funny poems will tell about the autumn adventures of the forest inhabitants: a charming hedgehog and his friends. The books in the “Seasons” series are made of EVA foam - they do not tear, do not break and are absolutely safe for children.
The play set with the Ever After High doll “Brilliant Whirlwind” is a real winter fairy tale for a little dreamer! Crystal Winter is the daughter of the Snow Queen. The doll is dressed in a light lilac plastic top with patterns and a short skirt in blue tones. Her slender legs are wearing open pink sandals with a high platform. Long hair with blue and purple strands can be combed and come up with different hairstyles. The set includes glitter, a washable glue stick, stickers, a purse, a girl's ring, a forest owl and Crystal's magic booth. At the request of the Snow Queen's daughter, it may snow, and objects near her may freeze. This magical cabin can be used to recreate scenes from the cartoon, and the winter sparkle adds to the fun.
Calls are poetic appeals to nature, small songs that are intended to be sung by a group of children. They are mainly accompanied by various gaming activities.
In ancient times, people often turned to natural phenomena, called on the seasons, welcomed the sun, rain and much more. People believed that nature heard and understood them; they asked her for help and thanked her for her gifts. These appeals were carried out in verse, which later became known as Zaklichki.
In this section we tried to collect the most interesting and fun Calls. Try it, maybe you will be able to summon the sun in cloudy weather or rain on a dry day. To do this, you will need to find the appropriate Call, learn it by heart and pronounce it loudly on the street.
Snail, snail,
Stick out your horns
I'll give you some bread
I'll give you some pie.

Winter chants, like any chants in general, are short songs in which children address various natural objects or phenomena. Once upon a time, many centuries ago, these were not nursery rhymes at all, but quite adult “magic formulas.” Then adults almost stopped believing in such “magic” and passed on the invocation poems for children’s use. There are much fewer winter calls than spring or summer calls. Yes, this is understandable - in winter there is practically no agricultural work, and calls, first of all, are aimed at “agreeing” with nature on good weather for the future harvest. But, although in limited quantities, winter calls still existed.
Winter snow call
If snow did not fall for a long time, then the plants planted before winter could freeze. So, it was necessary to go out into the field and call for winter:
“Come winter, bring snow!”
Winter call to quell a blizzard
And to stop the snowstorm, you had to say:
“There is a storm in the sky, a blizzard in the field!
Angels come, sweep away the blizzard with your wings!
You, wind, don’t howl, don’t fly. And you, blizzard, don’t twist those snowstorms!”
Frost's winter Christmas call
Although chants became children's folklore a long time ago, in the southern Russian provinces a hundred years ago on New Year's Eve the owner of the house himself would throw the door wide open and throw a treat over the threshold - usually kutya. At the same time, he also invited frost to visit him:
“Moroz Vasilyevich, go eat kutya!
Kutya is in Pokuti, but Uzvar has gone to the market!”
They also said this:
“Moroz Vasilyevich, go to the hut to eat kutya (jelly)!
Walk in winter, and sit under a log in summer!”
It was believed that such “feeding” of Frost would have a beneficial effect on the next year’s harvest. The frost will “stay” for exactly as long as it is supposed to and “go away” on its own. And spring will be early and friendly. It was not for nothing that the patronymic “Vasilievich” received frost in these nicknames - after all, they “fed” him on the eve of Vasily’s Day (January 1).
Calls of spring
Call for spring...
Maybe it will be useful for someone, during the holidays at school we were given the task to learn the chant and make a lark using any technique (I haven’t decided which one yet, I’ll probably make a boom from salt dough , by the way, if anyone has any ideas or additional information, you are welcome, I would be very grateful
Sorry, it’s all a bunch, maybe there’s a repetition... I haven’t really sorted it out yet... there are mp3 links, if anyone needs them, I’ll try to email them or give you download links (I’ll try to remember where I downloaded them at 2 am :))) There are poems at the end in normal modern language :))) (I’m writing without a category because I couldn’t find where...)

She founded the crown -
They are in their ninth spring.
On her way
The grass has grown wheatgrass,
Under her steps
Klushka brought the children out.”

Spring, spring, what have you brought us?
- I brought you four lands, oh, my goodness!
The first land - flood waters, oh my goodness!
The second land is a ploughman's field, oh my goodness!
The third area is a cattle in the field, oh my goodness!
The fourth area - good health to the people, oh my goodness!
Spring, come, bring three lands!
The first site -
There is flood in the meadows
Second site -
The sun is in the courtyard!
Third site -
Green expanse!
Burn, Sun, brighter -
Summer will be hotter!
And the winter is warmer
And spring is nicer.
Mushrooms will grow in the forest,
There are beans in the garden,
Rye and barley in the field,
The hops are green in the garden.
At the equinox, the Earth is already awakening and the moment of opening of Spring, Summer, Earth and the closure, closing of Winter can be traced.
You're a little bird, you're a vagrant!
Fly to the blue sea
Take the spring keys,
Close the winter, open the summer!
So, let's make Larks:
COMPOUND
SOUGH: 1 glass of water, 0.5 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of sugar, 10~11g of dry yeast
DOUGH: 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, 3~3.5 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water and stir in sugar and flour. Place in a warm place until the dough doubles in size by 2~3 times.
Put sugar, salt into the dough, pour in vegetable oil and add 2.5 cups of flour. Mix.
Pour half a glass of flour onto the table, dump the dough onto the flour. Knead, adding flour little by little, until the dough becomes smooth, homogeneous, moist, but not sticky to your hands.
(These products will yield approximately 870g of dough.)
Cover the dough with cling film and leave to rise.
When the dough has increased by 1.5~2 times, cut it into equal pieces, which are then rolled into balls.
Larks are sculpted in different ways.
sitting lark
Roll out the dough ball into a long sausage. (photo 1)
Tie the sausage in a knot. (photo 2)
At the end that is at the top, pull out the nose and insert a highlight eye. Flatten the second - bottom - end with your fingers and cut, which will indicate the feathers on the tail. (photo 3)
Flying lark
(1 option)
Roll out the dough ball into a short thick sausage. (photo 1)
At one end, draw out the beak and insert an eye.
From the other end, flatten 2/3 of the length of the sausage with your fingers or roll it out. When rolling, you need to stretch the dough in width, not length.
Make a cut in the middle of the rolled part, along the roller. (photo 2)
Then cut both resulting halves with shorter cuts. Raise one part and lay it on top of the other so that these parts are perpendicular to each other. (photo 3)
Flying lark (2 option)
Pinch off a small piece from the ball of dough. Roll it into a thin circle and cut half of the circle into fringe.
Roll out a large ball into a roller, pull off the beak on one side and insert the eye. Flatten the other end a little and cut into pieces. (photo 1)
Moisten a small circle - a wing - on one side with water and place it on the body blank, cut side up. (photo 2)
To do this, roll out the ball of dough into a not very large flat cake.
This flatbread can either be greased with vegetable oil and sprinkled with sugar, or sprinkled with poppy seeds or crushed nuts, or spread with chopped dried fruits or grated apples.
Then roll the cake into a roll (photo 1).
After this, the lark is formed according to the first method of a flying lark (photo 2, 3, 4).
In the Samara province, it was customary to bake various items in larks:
coin - to wealth;
grain of oats or wheat - to the grain harvest;
candy - to the sweet life.
Place the molded products on a baking sheet, greased with oil or covered with baking paper.
Grease with sweet water and bake until browned at t=180~200°C.
Without removing the finished larks from the baking sheet, grease them with sweet water or vegetable oil, cover with a towel and leave until cool.

Time to melt and disappear
Flow into the valley
And cheese to feed the earth!
According to the folk calendar, March 22 is the day of the Larks. According to legend, on this day the first forty birds fly in and bring spring on their wings. On this day, they baked figurines of birds (wedderbirds, larks) from dough, put hemp seeds inside, and raisins instead of eyes ( larks recipe). Children put baked birds on sticks and shouted chants:
The larks will arrive,
Take away the cold winter,
Bring warmth to spring:
We're tired of winter
She ate all our bread,
And I picked up the straw,
And she picked up the chaff.
You little Easter cakes are larks,
Come together, come together.

And I brought you three pieces of news,
Oh, oh, oh, Lyuli, and three messages:
The first message is Clear Sun,
Oh, oh, oh, lyuli, Clear Sun;
Another introduction is a warm little fly,
Oh, oh, oh, Lyuli, it’s warm;
The third message - the nightingale sings,
Oh, oh, oh, lyuli, with a quail!
(words - from the "Selected Songbook of the Brotherhood" of the "Rodolyubie" community).
Spring, red spring!
Spring, red spring!
Come, spring, with joy.
With joy, joy,
With great mercy:
Ugly flax is tall,
Rye and oats are good.
(words are folk).
Spring is red!
Spring is red!
What did you come with?
What did you come with?
On the bipod
On the harrow.
Spring, red Spring!
Come, Spring, with joy,
With great mercy:
With tall flax,
With deep roots,
With abundant bread.
Spring is red!
What did you come with?
What did you arrive on?
On a bipod, on a harrow?
Call of Spring
Traditional Slavic song.

Call for spring -
Say goodbye to winter!
Oh, spring, spring,
Warm summer...
Oh-le-le-le-le-le...
Warm summer...
Ay, spring is red
Why did you come to us?
Oh-le-le-le-le-le...
Why did you come to us?

Oh, spring, spring,
Warm summer...
Oh-le-le-le-le-le...

Calls- small songs intended to be sung by a group of children. Many of them are accompanied by game actions that imitate the process of peasant labor.
All phenomena and forces of nature: the sun, rainbow, thunder, rain, wind, as well as the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter - live in the call as animate beings. The child himself comes into contact with them, a conspiracy: the sun asks for warmth and affection, for a generous summer; rainbow - “to interrupt the rain”; thunder - feel sorry for the house, do not frighten the end, geese, children; tells the rain what to water and how much water to pour out; promises a gift for good work - cook borscht, give a cucumber.
The chant contains not just an appeal to natural elements, but a range of feelings expressed in words, rhythm, intonation - experiences, admiration, tenderness, delight. Emotions of joy, trust, confidence in the good are embedded in the very structure of the verse - in the wave-like repetitions, in the change of pictures-requests, in the rhythm - lively, perky, in the sound of every line, every word.
The nickname gives birth to faith in the child in the weight and significance of the word. This belief is strengthened by the very effect of the spell and at the same time by a feeling of security in the event of an unfavorable outcome of the request, because the child always turns to the forces of nature together with other children (possibly adults).
Calls, as well as stoneflies, sentences are called traditional, they were passed down from generation to generation.
They conjure spring and the sun:
Spring is red!
What did you bring?
Warm summer
Mushrooms in birch bark,
Berries in a basket,
Open the window!
Sunshine, sunshine,
Look out the window.
The kids are waiting for you
The youngsters are waiting.
Bucket sun,
Come out from behind the bald spot.
Sit on a tree stump
Walk all day.
Sunny, show yourself!
Red, gear up!
Hurry up, don't be shy,
Warm us guys up!
Sunny, show yourself!
Red, gear up!
So that year after year
The weather gave us:
Warm summer
Mushrooms in birch bark,
Berries in a basket,
Green peas.
Sun, sun,
Shine it out the window
Let the oats grow
To grow to the skies;
Mother Rye
To stand completely like a wall.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We sow livestock all day long!
Shine, sunshine, from the sky for us,
To have more bread;
For the kids to have fun
Nuts grew in the forest,
So that the sheaves are thick,
So that flax goes into canvas;
Green hops climbed onto the tree,
So that there are half a dozen peas!
Sunshine, shine it out!
Red, shine!
We're going to the field
We carry sickles.
Let's reap life,
Waiting for you to visit!
When there is no rain or a little rain, they usually sing in chorus, calling out the rain:
It's raining, it's raining,
We have been waiting for you for a long time:
With clean water
With silk grass,
With azure color,
Happy warm summer!
Let the rain fall harder
For wheat, for buckwheat.
For peas, for barley
Water all long day!
And for millet, for rye
Water as much as you like!
Rain, rain, more,
I'll give you the grounds
I'll go out onto the porch,
I'll give you a cucumber.
I'll give you a loaf of bread too -
Water as much as you want!
Rain, rain, more fun
Drip, drip, don't be sorry!
Just don't get us wet!
Don't knock on the window in vain.
Thunder booming
Crack the clouds
Give it some rain
From the heavenly steep.
Rain, rain,
I'll cook you some borscht,
I'll put it on an oak tree
In a green pot.
Don't hesitate, little oak,
Don't spill, pot!
It's raining like rain,
Water with a ladle:
To Ivanov and Alen,
So that they sow all the flax.
Seki, seki, rain,
On grandma's rye,
For grandfather's seed -
May it rise on time.
When spring brings long rains, floods and bad weather, the children ask the rainbow to take away the rain:
Rainbow-arc,
Don't let it rain
Come on sunshine
Red bucket.
Rainbow-arc,
Beat the rain -
Again into the night
It's pouring with all its might;
Beat the thunder
I wouldn't get into the house.

It happened that on March 22, forty different birds fly from warm countries, and the first of them is the lark. There was a belief: in whose field the birds land first, the gods will certainly send good luck and a harvest that year. The ancestors of the Slavs believed: for spring to come, it must be called, asked to come, called out (hence the word “chants”). In an effort to bring spring closer, housewives baked figurines of birds with open wings from dough. And they called them “rooks”, “larks”, “birds”.
Baking good pies is no easy task, especially during the holidays! But how much joy there was when, having “rested” under a canvas cape, the pies and rolls migrated to the table and the family sat down to drink tea!
To bake the “larks,” the housewife kneaded the dough in slightly warmed river water, and at dawn. The kneading bowl was covered with a tablecloth and the oven was heated while the dough was rising. On the day of the spring equinox, several dozen “larks” were baked. When they took the baking sheet out of the oven, they looked: were the “larks” baked well, were they burnt? And then the well-being of the family was judged by the quality of the baked goods. The housewives made ruddy “stonefly birds” from unleavened rye dough, or less often from wheat dough. Sometimes they were baked from boiled potatoes rolled in flour. Some people made birds like this: they rolled out a lump of potato dough, sculpted a head, cut the dough from the opposite edge into strips (tail), and attached two strips of dough crosswise on top (wings).
Wheat and rye dough was rolled out in the form of a round flatbread, with the wings folded from the sides onto the back. Instead of eyes, coals, peas, flaxseed, juniper berries, raisins, and bird cherry were inserted. Having flavored the “lark” with butter, the ruddy gift was smeared with honey. A crest was sculpted on the head and a feather was stuck in. Baked birds were sent to family and friends. Children ran through the streets with baked birds, threw them up and shouted: “Larks, fly in, bring red summer, I’m tired of winter, I’ve eaten all the bread!” The adults called for spring on the hills and the stoneflies sang. There were a lot of calls. It was a kind of rhythmic recitative, filled with a certain meaning:
Larks,
My mothers,
Fly to me
Bring red spring to me,
summer is warm,
With a plow,
with harrow
And with a black mare,
With a foal - Little Crow!
Larks,
Give us summer
And we will give you winter.
We don't have any food!
Having shouted (they had to say the call loudly so that spring would hear), having played enough with the “larks,” the guys shoved them under the bars in barns, under the roofs of houses, and attached them to tree branches. Then the baked birds were usually eaten, and their heads were given to the mother with the words: “As the lark flew high, so may your flax be high. What kind of head does my lark have, so that the flax has a big head.”
All these rituals were performed so that the life-giving forces of nature would touch everyone - both people and animals. Childhood memories are always figurative. Probably, almost all rural children remember the sensations associated with calling stoneflies. And they associate the taste and smell of spring with “larks,” birds with a golden brown crust.
Spring has arrived! As soon as the streams begin to gurgle, the sky immediately begins to hum with birds - the first heralds of warmth. Bake “larks” - so that happiness and spring will settle in your home!

Spring-Red,
What did you bring us?
Plow, harrow
And the mare and the crow,
patch of sun
And a bunch of straws,
Bread crust
And a glass of water!
(One of the archaic calls of Spring
Larks, fly!
We're tired of winter
I ate a lot of bread!
You fly and carry
Red spring, hot summer!

You're on the field, on the harrow...

I brought you three lands:
The first place is a little animal in a pole;
Another place - with a bipod in a pole;
The third site - bees on the fly;
And to the pleaser - good health to the world!
Maslenitsa Larks are flying towards us
Once upon a time, when Rus' was still pagan, Maslenitsa - the ritual holiday of welcoming spring - was celebrated a little later than now, and was timed to coincide with the spring equinox. With the advent of Christianity, this became impossible - then the riotous and riotous Maslenitsa would fall exactly during Lent. The Church could not ban Maslenitsa - the people loved this holiday too much, but they tried to fill it with a different meaning and “push it” beyond the boundaries of Lent, into the last week before Lent (cheese week).
At first, the Orthodox Church had a very difficult time - pagan rituals and holidays were hardly forced out of the souls and minds of the Slavs, but over time, many customs lost their original meaning, were forgotten, and only a few have survived to this day. Pancakes were lucky - they remained “during Maslenitsa”, and in general they were held in high esteem. A here are the “larks”...
“... to call for spring, they baked “larks” and “waders” from dough, the children climbed with them onto the roofs of barns, into trees and called for a warm, early spring. Meanwhile, adults gathered on the hills, sang “spring songs,” addressing the storks and cranes: “quickly carry the blessed spring time on your wings.” Bonfires were made on the banks of rivers and round dances were held.
