Program Notes
This march, which translates as "The Farewell of a Slavyanka," (i.e., a Slav woman) was written in dedication to the Slav women who watched their husbands go to fight the Turkish invaders during the First Balkan War. It is a popular and well-known march not only in Russia and the former Soviet States, but around the world.
