SONGS
Songs of the Russian People – “This book is a treasure-trove of
Slavic mythology, tradition, folklore and ethnography. There are songs
from Russia and every Slavic region from Serbia to Siberia. There are n musical
transcriptions…However, the massive, well documented, and very entertaining
collection of Slavic traditions in this book more than makes up for this deficiency.”
