Hi peeps.I have had in my possesion for many years now a book of Russian folk songs with their English translations. Over the next few nights I will be scanning it to disk for posterity as I have already lost the first six pages to the ravages of time. It takes the form of the music (Piano score) at the top with the English words below on the left and the Russian words on the right. It will be be 60-odd files by the time I have scanned them all so it will be quite large but seeing as I am on Cable connect I am happy to email them to anyone interested.
The titles are as follows -
We have sown our wheat
Through the Gate
Down the Street
Blithely strode the Youth
Down the Kasanka
The Dove
Harvest
The Violet
I love my tiny Attic
The lonely Beech
The Packman
My barren Acres
Freedom
Golden Springtime
The Recruits Song
Master Smith
In Bivouac
The Young Postillion
Sleigh Song
The Postmans Tale
The Fortress
In Prison
Over Lake Baikal
The Returned Exile
On the Volga
Stenka Rasin
The Unhappy Sailor
One Night of Gladness
Parting
Lady Dear, Fare thee well
Cuckoo
Bunnies all furry
The Cornflower
The Billygoat
The Month of May
A Cossack Lullaby
Harvesting
The Poison Draught
The weary Gleaner
Farewell, my Son
When Shadows fall
Fill your Glasses
In Tsardom
I could also send a few printed copies out but for obvious reasons I need to restrict the number of those.
Alternatively can I post them to someone who has a web site which would happily house them? Can they go somewhere on the 'cat? I will probable post them on our folk club site when we eventualy get it up and running!!!
Respond here, PM me or email me on dpolshaw@hotmail.com
Dontcha just love some of those titles btw - I reckon something gets lost in the translations on some. I can't envisage a big bearded cossack sing about furry bunnies or that anyone actualy loves their tiny little attic:-)
Cheers
