They pick the flowers in my little garden, and I get rid of them too

THE CIMBALOM IS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT THAT ORIGINATES IN HUNGARY

 It's NOT a Dulcimer...

HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY PLAYED ON A CIMBALON BY ERZSI GODOR

EXCERPT:

The contemporary "concert" Hungarian version of the cimbalom was created by the aforementioned master Vencel József Schund in the 1870s in Budapest. The body of this instrument, which has a range of four octaves, has the shape of a trapezoid with sides of 140 and 95 centimetres long, on which strings are stretched. The whole is set on feet measuring about 70 centimetres. The instrument produces a distinctive and loud sound, which is produced by hitting metal strings with wooden sticks. The original, smaller and mobile version of the cimbalom from the sixteenth century, known as the kiscimbalom, is still used in the Balkans, Switzerland, Romania, Belarus and the western part of Hungary. This instrument is made almost entirely of pine wood, with a small addition of maple. In contrast to the concert version of Schunda, these cimbaloms are limited in use by professional musicians and usually do not have any metal stiffeners, which results in susceptibility to body deformation.

Loved this album.  You can hear the real, untrained voices of the Hungarian men, women, and the children.  I love listening to Hungarian music while I work on this blog or do my personal Hungarian - American / Amerikai Magyarok genealogy research.

Hollóének Hungarica - Ördög útja (trad. Csángó)


Where there are sheep there are bagpipes.  This song goes faster and faster making me think of "whirling dervishes."  I imagine the dancers must dance till they drop!

MUSIC TO READ THE URBARIUM 1767 BY (HUNGARIAN MUSIC ROOTS)

I just borrowed a wonderful compilation of Hungarian Music that's available a www.worldmusic.net in the Hungarian Roots: Transylvanian fiddle to Romany Rap.  My favorite song is the first one put out by Laszlo Hortobagyi and Iren Lovasv on the VILAGFA (World Tree) lable, called PAVA "Hey Peacock"  If you're thinking of violins and gypsy orchestras you'll find it as well as the Rakoczki March to "Dance in the Snow" in the Romanian language.  the Chymes band takes it's name from a village near Nitra in the South of Slovakia today.
