Beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing. Balalaika is now being hunted down to practice and play, though I play guitar....this instrument is revealing such resonating tunes. I almost got up and danced but did not want to take my eyes off the players!
I learned this with a balalaika orchestra on domra, under the name 'The Crescent Moon Is Shining'... slight variation on the names below, but hope this helps if anyone is looking for sheet music or anything.
@MarshallJukov The Balalaika is BANNED in the USA? What? Why? I can understand if it was during the cold war, but whaaa? and yet you can still get an accordion wherever you damn-well please? Clearly something is wrong. XD
(I don't hate accordions, they're just so easy to pick on though!)
Wonderful! I have an old LP of Sasha Polinoff and his Russian Gypsy Orchestra, "Fastest Balalaika in the West" (Elektra). Their version makes my head spin.
The name of the song is The Moon is Shining Brightly (Svetit Mesyats) СВЕТИТ МЕСЯЦ Светит месяц, светит ясный Светит белая заря. Осветила путь дорожку Мне до Сашина двора THE MOON IS SHINING The moon is shining, shining brightly The white nightfall is shining too My pathway is eliminated All the way to the Sasha's place
Okay, okay... I'll buy the lessons from Alex! I'm all thumbs, so balalaika should be perfect for me! Mikhail, what make of guitar are you playing, if you don't mind me asking? P.S., Great to see you guys on YouTube, and Nice hat!

Is the balalaika similar to a mandolin?
wdsdyln 2 years ago
No. Balalaika has 3 strings usually, while Mandolin 4 double strings.
AvanguardiaStagnante 2 years ago 2
Actually, just two. Or almost two. Third and second strings are tuned the same. Unreal, huh?.. Yup. The simpler the tool, the more skill it demands.
SuperPindos 2 years ago 3
not at all
MattMurdockCZ 2 years ago
It covers a similar range of frequencies. But the mandolin has four pairs of strings for smoother tremolo while the balalaika has just three strings.
