Reader Comments
What you have done is a remarkable achievement; so much love and effort
have been invested in these books and I am confident they are a valuable
reference for anyone interested in Macedonian folklore music.”
—Skopje,
REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA
“I got your tambura book. It is very fun and useful for me.”
—Nishinomiya,
JAPAN
“I received your book two days ago: thanks again for your wonderful
work!”
—Bourges, FRANCE
“Macedonian Folk Songs I and II arrived—wonderful! You should
be proud of your accomplishment.”
—Santa Ana, California
“I’m enjoying the tape of songs that came with volume two of
your songbook, and the book as well—great notes by you and Rachel,
and the tambura lesson is invaluable—especially when paired with your
tambura suggestions in Volume One. I think the interview with Kete is also
a great addition—there’s more there than I can absorb or understand
in one reading, but it certainly provides an interesting perspective on the
music.”
—Ashland, Oregon
“I recently received Volume 2 of Macedonian Folk Songs for Voice and
Tambura, which I read through last night while listening to the tape. It’s
absolutely terrific, and you and Rachel deserve a lot of credit!”
—Madison,
Wisconsin
“This is an extraordinary piece of work. Congratulations to you and
your colleagues! I understand now why your correspondent in Skopje was impressed.
I am too, mightily so...Your transcriptions and translations are amongst
the best I’ve seen. Bravo, majstori!”
—Christchurch, NEW
