Daniil Kozlov

Muzyki Svet! Daniil Kozlov will present this song at 2010 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. His parents say that music accompanies their younger sixth child since his first days. A piano and a violin, a flute, a guitar and even a harmonica sound in the Kozlovs’ house all the time. The kid fell asleep listening to Mozart and Beethoven. Maybe that is why he started singing when he was three. 

When Daniil was nine, he took his first lesson from a skilled teacher Nelli Dukova at the pop-studio Allegro Nova. The teacher and the pupil understood each other from the first sight.

After one year of successful lessons Danik (this name his parents and friends usually use) started to participate in different international and national contests. 13-years-old musician has already won 12 prestigious musical competitions. In his native town he is lovingly called the golden voice of Zhabinka.

But singing is not the only Daniil’s passion. He also takes the violin classes at Zhabinka’s Art School, loves Belarusian folk and classical music, geography, biology and literature.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis is one of his favorite books, and he is a real fan of Moonlight Sonata by L. van Beethoven.

When Danik explained how the song Muzyki Svet (The Light of Music) appeared, he said: "I often listened to Moonlight Sonata. It sounded in my head. I whispered it for a long time. And then a new music came out. It was something very close but not the same. Both compositions mixed in my mind. Then the idea to write a song about music was born. The main point is that music is life and everything around us".

On the stage, Daniil Kozlov will appear with his friend - Yan Aladov. He was born in Minsk in a family of famous musicians. His great-grandfather – Nikolay Aladov – was one of the founders of Belarusian school of composition.

When Yan was 6 he started to play piano at the College of Arts. Now Yan is 12 and he plays not only piano but also the guitar, snare drum, vibraphone, xylophone, marimba and drum set!

Yan’s parents and teachers are sure: this boy is really fond of music it is his choice and his life! Most of all Yan likes classical music and he is happy to be a "musician from the past" on the stage. But it will be the first Contest in Yan’s career.

Lyrics of Muzyki Svet

МУЗЫКИ СВЕТ

«Лунную сонату» слышу
Падают, как капли, звуки
Замирает сердце.

Пусть еще не все я знаю,
Но уже я понимаю,
Как божественно прекрасна звуков чистота.

Припев:
Музыки свет, в его сиянии
Нет ни холода, ни тьмы.
В наших сердцах, на расстоянии
Лишь протянутой руки.


«Лунную сонату» слышу,
Лик Бетховена я вижу,
Бьется сильно сердце.

Пусть еще не все я знаю,
Но уже я понимаю,
Как божественно прекрасна звуков чистота.


Припев:
Музыки свет, в его сиянии
Нет ни холода, ни тьмы.
В наших сердцах, на расстоянии
Лишь протянутой руки.
Живет всегда музыка чистая,
К нам сошедшая с небес,
Пусть красота ее звуков лучистая
Наполняет мир наших сердец.

MUZYKI SVET
The light of Music

Fallen drops like
sound from my heart. I can hear it and I Know that
It's "Moonlight sonata"

So, I can't know everything, but I already see
and admire a divine beauty of this sound.

The light of music - there is no frost,
no darkness in it's shining.
This light is in our hearts.
Just hold my hand and you will see.

I hear the air of "Moonlight sonata"
I also imagine the look of Beethoven
My heart is beating strongly.

So, I can't know everything, but I already see
and admire a divine beauty of this sound.

The light of music - there is no frost,
no darkness in it's shining.
This light is in our hearts.
Just hold my hand and you will see.
The music is always clear and perfect
as clouds in the sky
Let's its magic beauty be forever
in the world of our hearts.
