Highland Building Company built our house with some drawbacks. To their credit, they fixed everything! I like these guys.

Вчера 13 октября 2024 моя мама покинула нас... Да, моя мама не пела как Мария Каллас или Кирстен Флагстад, но эта запись для нас теперь во многом дороже, чем любые другие. Очень искреннее и доброе исполнение... Мы записали эту песню в январе 2005 просто чтобы посмотреть как будет звучать украинская песня под аккомпанимент карельского кантеле. В песне поётся о девушке в лодке и о расставании. В ...

Compose a melody (or a phrase) where you use all strings, but each string is used only once. I did it using 16-string Lovikka kantele. It fits kantele, kankles, kokle, gusli, guqin, koto, zither etc. I saw this idea (all strings, each one used once) in fb; on the page of gusli player O. Glazova in February 2022.

Arvo Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel" was composed originally for piano and violin and since then multiple transcriptions have been made (cello, flute oboe etc). We performed the art experiment giving the violin part to soprano voice, piano's arpeggios to the Karelian chromatic kantele and left piano's highest and lowest inclusions to piano. The video is accompanied with pictures of great Lithuanian...

Sometimes I am very curious about things I hear. For example, a quite famous already-Christmas melody taken from the "Troika" by S. Prokofiev (from the suite "Lieutenant Kije"). Why it became Christmas tune in the USA? And what did it mean initially? It was written by S. Prokofiev in 1934 for the Soviet movie "Lieutenant Kije", so why? Looks like everything is clear: the bells along with a hors...

Quodlibet is a polyphonic mix o two or more song sounding harmoniously together. That is you sing a song A and your friend sings a song B, and both of them sound in harmony to each other. The same is observed by us for Karelian Osa poika (trad by L. Sevets) and Ukrainian trad. Kucherjava Kateryna. Structure of the piece: 1. Osa poika (Karelian) 2. Kucherjava Kateryna (Ukrainian) 3. Osa poika (K...
