  • Pagan Beliefs in Ancient Russia. by Luceta Di Cosimo, Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands, Aethelmearc
    1 Pagan Beliefs in Ancient Russia. By Luceta di Cosimo, Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands, Aethelmearc. [email protected] ©2006-2017 Slavic mythology is a difficult subject. The historical evidence is fragmented, with many conflicting sources and multiple later literary inventions. This is a brief reconstruction of ancient Russian mythology. The first archaeological findings that can be attributed to Slavs date to approximately 6th c. AD. The origins of Slavs are still debated. The pagan Slavic society was an oral society. Christianity, which introduced writing, was more concerned with eradication rather than preservation of pagan beliefs. No one really tried to preserve and record whatever remained, until late period. Then, there is some evidence recorded from the Germans who visited Russia in 18th c., but a lot of it is based on the written 15thc. sources, rather than eyewitness accounts. The 19th c. Europe saw renewed interest in folklore, and combined with rise of nationalism and need for developed mythos, a lot of what was left was recorded, but a lot was altered to make it more palatable, and questionable things (especially with fertility rituals) were edited out as not to besmirch the emerging national character. During the Soviet time, the study of any religion was problematic, due to mandatory atheism. Eventually, the study of the early Slavic traditions was permitted, and even encouraged, but, everything had to pass stringent censorship rules, and could not contradict Marxist-Leninist philosophy. So, people who had the material (in the USSR) could not publish, and people who actually could publish (in the West) did not have access to the materials.

Like the Romance and Germanic peoples, they are related by area and culture, not so much by blood. Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa".

  • Program Notes
    Program Notes Program Notes by April L. Racana Sun. October 22, The 897th Orchard Hall Subscription Concert Mon. October 23, The 898th Suntory Hall Subscription Concert Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857) Kamarinskaya Waltz-fantasia Krakoviak from "A Life for the Czar (Ivan Susanin)" Glinka is considered by many to be the father of Russian music given that his operas and orchestral works were based on Russian themes and ultimately became models for other compatriots to incorporate Russian folk music and folk tales into their works. Tchaikovsky even commented that "all of the Russian school of symphonic works is contained in Glinka's Kamarinskaya, just as the whole oak tree is in an acorn." Oct 22 Kamarinskaya incorporates two folks songs which Glinka had encountered separately -- one a wedding song and the other a traditional dance tune. The composer himself described Oct how he came to combine the two for this work: "By chance I discovered a relationship with 23 the wedding song 'From behind the mountains', which I had heard in the country, and the folk dance tune 'Kamarinskaya', which everyone knows. And suddenly my fantasy ran high; instead of a piano piece I wrote an orchestral piece called 'Wedding Tune and Dance Tune'." The wedding song called Izza-gor opens the work as a kind of introduction which is then repeated and varied before leading into the dance tune. These two tunes alternate throughout the short work, with the dance tune repeated many dozens of times, each time a new variation, highlighting Glinka's creative abilities with orchestral timbres in various combinations and with shifting harmonies throughout.
