the arranger<\/h3>\n<p>Dear Harpists,<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the world of beautiful Balkan music. This book contains a collection of traditional songs and dance tunes from central Serbia and its Northern Province of Vojvodina (Voivodina), arranged for the harp for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Serbia and the whole Balkan region are known as a crossroads of many different cultures as well as the meeting point between east and west; it has provided the setting for one of the most impressive song and dance traditions in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Serbia borders Hungary to the north, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, the Republic of Macedonia and Albania to the south, and Croatia, Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina and Montenegro to the west. Therefore, its traditional music was, and still is, influenced by all the nations of this region. Traditional instrumentation is simple but mesmerizing.<\/p>\n<p>Music has always played a major part in the lives of Balkan people: traditional melodies were sung during work in the fields and, as today, no holiday, Saint\u2019s day, wedding or other celebration could go without song and dance; at village fairs groups from many different villages, complete with their own musicians, would meet to celebrate their joy of life in a swirl of sound and colour.<\/p>\n<p>Branka Crowder<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scroll down to listen.<\/h4>\n<p><em>Tales of the River Danube<\/em> is a collection of ten Balkan folk melodies arranged by Branka Crowder for solo lever or pedal harp.
