A Russian Song Book: Forty-four Folk Songs and Popular Songs by Rubin/Stillman

Description: Since the nineteenth century the Western world has become acquainted with the richness of Russian folk song mainly through the symphonic and operatic works and songs of her leading composers, who have woven these splendid times into the fabric of their own creations. The melodies which express emotional extremes, from limitless joy to heart-rending grief, have always struck a responsive chord in people everywhere. Though a great deal has been written about Russian folk music, the lack of available sheet music in any popular form has inevitably kept most of it out of reach of the many who would like to perform it themselves. Similarly Russian popular songs have been unavailable, and most of them are presented here for the first time in any American collection. Part I. Folk Songs: Down the Volga River; Oh, you dear little night; Down along the Mother Volga; Dubinushka; Slender mountain ash; Farewell to happiness; Little bell; Do not scold me and do not reproach me; No sounds from the city are heard; My sweetheart; All throughout the great wide world I wandered; Story of the Coachman; In the meadow stood a little birch tree ;Boundless expanse of the sea; Cliff on the Volga; Snow flurries; Stenka Razin (From beyond the island); Troika Rushing; Do not awaken my memories; Along the Peterskaya road; In the Valley; Village on the road; Kalinka (Little snowball bush); Why do you gaze at the road?; Song of the Volga boatmen.
