Ireland
“Irish Jig”
This sprightly tune accompanies Irish soft-shoe dances. Jigs were quite
often written in 6/8 musical notation.
Israel
“Havah Nagilah”
This folk tune from Israel often accompanies a circle dance called the
hora
. Our version was written by Avraham Zvi Idelson.
Italy
“O Sole Mio”
Reputed to come from Italy, “O Sole Mio” is a lighthearted song often
accompanied by an accordion.
Japan
“Sukara”
“Sukara” is translated into English as the “Cherry Blossom Song.” The
importance of pentatonic scales without halftones in Japanese music
gives the song an Oriental sound.
Mexico
“La Cucaracha”
“La Cucaracha” translates into English as “The Cockroach.” It is a lively
and popular tune. The national anthem of Mexico, the “Himno Nacional
de México,” is another memorable song.
Nigeria
“Kumbaya”
A folk song that originated in Nigeria, “Kumbaya” is sung around the
world.
Russia
“The Volga Boatman”
This theme from an old Russian folk tune is heard as a recurring
motif
in
many works of Russian classical music.
USA
“The Star-Spangled Banner”
This was written on September 14, 1814, by American lawyer Francis
Scott Key, and was adapted from a popular English song by John Stafford
Smith. On March 3, 1931, the song was officially adopted as the national
anthem of the United States.
