In conclusion he said: “A book can be written – and indeed one should be written – on the history of this unique organization, the first Guild of its kind in the Ukrainian community. Such a book would be about people, because the story of the Guild is the story of people and their dedication to the Guild and Shevchenko Ensemble.” The evening, which was opened Ginger Kautto, winner of the “Seated Nude” President Florenz Seychuk conducts the draw 3 Ukrainian-French choral collaboration Another smash hit for the Shevchenko Musical Ensemble by PHILIP JOSEPH presented in an endearing manner with Mandolin Orchestra.

  • The Guitar of the Czars the Guitar of the Czars
    The Guitar of the Czars The Guitar of the Czars a new English summary redaction by Marco Bazzotti This is a revision of an article of mine published in the Italian bimonthly "Seicorde" [ Note 1 ], a guitar magazine that ended its life in 1995. To my knowledge it was the first article about this subject published in the Italian language (after the most significant article by Matanya Ophee in a concurrent magazine, which was published some 7 years before mine [ Note 2 ]). I was induced to republish it in English not only to make it available to a wider audience, but also because for editorial purposes part of the original text and all the end notes were cut in the first publication, so I could not give due credit to my references. But it was my first published article, so I was glad for it to appear anyhow. Some years later I noticed also that some of the information contained therein was not completely exact. I decided to leave the text in a form close to its first version, cutting only the interviews with the Russian guitarist M. Goldort and Italian Professor P. Bonaguri, these now having become dated. I preferred to replace almost all the accompanying images with new ones that I have discovered in the following years. Since the collapse of the Berlin wall in It was quite difficult for me to get 1989, the countries of eastern European have information about some Russian guitarists, exploded in a painful big-bang that has due both to the ever-present difficulties in changed the geography of Europe and Asia communication (it is still difficult just to drastically.

Indeed, whether in proverbs, music, history, painting or any number of other Russian cultural elements, the balalaika remains a singular feature of popular recognition. Pity the student trying to find a Russian tale that doesn’t include a balalaika-playing character.

  • Russian Folk Instruments
    Russian Folk Instruments Balalaika Балалайка The balalaika is a wooden, three-stringed instrument of Russian origin, with a characteristic triangular body. The balalaika is played by strumming and plucking with the fingers of the right hand. An important part of balalaika technique is the use of the left thumb to fret notes on the bottom string, where it is often used to form chords. There are many theories about the origins of balalaika and how it developed into it’s triangular shape. In any case, the first written record was in 1688. The balalaika was supposed to be invented by peasant serfs to relieve their hard living under cruel landlords. Gradually the instrument spread among peasants and skomorokhi (wandering minstrels and jesters) who traveled all around the vast expanses of Russia. Skomorokhi performed at fairs, using their ballads to poke fun at church and state. Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich issued an order to burn all balalaikas, domras, horns and guslis, or punish those who would not yield. Although the repressions ended with the Tzar’s death, balalaikas did not achieve their former popularity until the mid 19th century, with Vassily Andreyev, a violinist, composer and arranger. One day as Vassily Andreyev, a young nobleman, was walking in his estate he heard his house-serf playing the balalaika. He was astonished at the unusual sounds of the instrument as he considered himself a connoisseur of Russian folk instruments. He began to learn how to play it and realized how much potential the instrument held. He set to work perfecting and standardizing the balalaika and even went to St.

    STUDIA INSTRUMENTORUM MUSICAE POPULARIS XVI Tarptautinės tradicinės muzikos tarybos Liaudies muzikos instrumentų tyrimų grupės XVI tarptautinės konferencijos straipsniai / ICTM Study Group on Folk Musical Instruments Proceedings from the 16th International Meeting ISSN 1392–2831 Tautosakos darbai XXXII 2006 CONCEPTS OF THE NATIONAL IN RUSSIAN ETHNOORGANOLOGY ULRICH MORGENSTERN Institute of Musicology, University of Hamburg S u b j e c t: Different concepts of (cross) national features and historical continuity in the study of Russian traditional instrumental music. P u r p o s e o f s t u d y: To analyze the “slavocentred” approach and other concepts of folk music in Russian ethnoorganology, and to show some possible perspectives for the comparative study of Russian instrumental traditions. M e t h o d s: Historical, descriptive, ethnoorganological. K e y w o r d s: Traditional instrumental music, ethnoorganology, Russia, ethnocentrism, gusli, domra, gudok. Questions of ethnicity and national peculiarities are of great interest to cultural sciences as well as to the everyday-culture of contemporary Russia in general. The idea of a national exclusiveness deeply rooted in history also plays a big part in cultural and educational policy. In Russian musicology the search for a specific Russian / Slavic character in music gave a great impulse both for in-depth studies as well as for the creation of national myths. Especially this refers to ethnoorganology since traditional musical instruments appear not only in their diverse primary functions for a local community but – at least from the late 18th ct. – also as a visible expression of the musical life of an ethnic group and as symbols of national culture.
