Rado ide Srbin u vojnike

• Music: Antonije Jahimek / Nikola Đurković• Lyrics: Vasilije Živković   The song "Rado ide Srbin u vojnike" (or "Graničarska pesma") was written by Serbian prota Vasilije Vasa Živković (1819-1891). The music was based on an instrumental medley of folk motifs called "Barona Jovića marš", composed by Antonije Jahimek of Pančevo. It was from this medley that Serbian composer Nikola Đurković (1812-1875) drew the melody for "Rado ide Srbin u vojnike" and harmonized it for male chorus. The song was first performed in 1844 in the Pančevo theater where Đurković worked as manager, director, actor, singer, interpreter and composer. (http://arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs/arhiva...). Tchaikovsky used this melody in his "Slavonic March in B-flat minor, Op. 31", also commonly known by it's French title "Marche Slave".   This recording was made in America, circa 1930, by Vlado Konstantinović and the "Banat" tamburica orchestra. ❖   ————○▣○—————   Listen to (and download) more records at my blog: http://tamburitza78s.blogspot.com Copyright © 2008 and 2010 Steven Kozobarich.
