Keep singing it often enough, and it will become folk - a beautiful song, if you avoid balalaika impressions or smarmy gits with mandolins.... LTS |

03 Aug 00 - 06:09 PM (#271286) Subject: Those Were the Days From: Joe Offer Hey, I thought "Those Were the Days" was a legitimate Russian folk song. It isn't? As for Julie Christie, few more beautiful women have ever graced the screen. I don't remember much from the movie, but I sure remember her. -Joe Offer- |

04 Aug 00 - 11:59 AM (#271353) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Laras theme From: MAG (inactive) Yeah, "Those were the Days" was a Russian Gypsy tune and song -- I don't think Paul gave credit on the version he produced, tho' |

13 Jan 07 - 11:36 AM (#1935267) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lara's theme From: GUEST,Frank Hamilton i agree with Kendall. It has a haunting quality and the words have a pop-song sensibility that will not coincide with a "folk-snob" attitude. It's lovely when played on a balalaika and it was used successfully by Maurice Jarre who did a good job on the musical score for Zhivago. I think it's important to listen to different music with new ears and not fall into the trap of pooh-poohing it because it isn't what the so-called "folk officianados" like. The tune has a folk-like quality reminiscent of Russian Gypsy melodies which tend toward the "sentimental" but retain a plaintive and wistful air. I think that the folk-snob thing is detrimental to the importance of traditional folk music. Frank Hamilton |

13 Jan 07 - 02:27 PM (#1935406) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lara's theme From: Spot Right... Liz the Squeak in particular... Some 30 years ago I had the pleasure of sitting in a Lakeland farm kitchen , some 3 feet from Bill Clifton and mandolin legend Red Rector, recording their version of said tune, very, very live!! I was knocked out by the quality of it...played with so much feeling. It still chokes me , even today!! If you've ever heard of Red Rector, I sincerely hope he is not on your list of "smarmy gits with mandolins"!! Anyways, anybody good enough to play it on mando earns the right to be smarmy, in my book!! Regards to all.... Spot :-) |
