Misc Traditional is a mixed set of folk songs and traditional tunes, among them a Russian waltz, a Russian peddlers’ song, an English ballad tune and an American folk song. “On the Hills of Manchuria” is a waltz composed in 1906 by Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov. Its original title was “The Mokshansky Regiment on the Hills of Manchuria,” and it referred to an incident during the Battle of Mukden, when the Mokshansky Infantry Regiment was encircled by Japanese forces for 11 days and sustained considerable casualties. That a regiment’s ordeal became a waltz that exists in both an orchestral and a folk arrangement hints at how a tune can outlive the occasion that produced it. Setting a regiment’s name and a battlefield in the title of a waltz joins a dance form to one specific story. “Korobeiniki” (“The Peddlers”) is a nineteenth-century Russian folk song about a meeting between a peddler and a girl, who haggle over goods in a metaphor for seduction. It is based on Nikolay Nekrasov’s poem of the same name, first printed in the Sovremennik magazine in 1861, and early musical compositions of it were published in 1898, with gramophone records following in 1905. Its increasing tempo and dance style led to it quickly becoming a popular folk song, and a tempo that keeps increasing suits a story of two people haggling. “Greensleeves” is a traditional English folk song. A broadside ballad titled “A Newe Northen Dittye of ye Ladye Greene Sleves” was registered by Richard Jones at the London Stationers’ Company in September 1580, and the tune turns up in several late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century sources. A common myth says that King Henry VIII wrote it, but he could not have, since the piece is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death. Because the tune appears in sources from the late sixteenth century, it is easy to see why a king’s name was attached to it, and the chronology of the Italian style is what rules him out. “She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain” is a traditional folk song, often categorized as children’s music, derived from the Christian spiritual “When the Chariot Comes.” Its first appearance in print was in Carl Sandburg’s “The American Songbag” in 1927, where Sandburg reports that the spiritual, sung to the same melody, was adapted by railroad workers in the Midwestern United States during the 1890s. It is often heard today with responses that add on to the previous verse. Responses that pile onto the previous verse make it a song for a group, which sits easily with its adoption by railroad workers.
