[78-L] Need Help to ID Language/Country

[Donna Halper]

And one of the songs, the one about "Dsihwoj' pee kundsina" comes up 
in a search I did of scholarly music history journals--the Journal of 
the Royal Music Association.  Evidently, the Latvian language 
migrated away from Russian Cyrillic script when Latvia gained some 
sort of autonomy in the 1860s or 70s (I'm not an expert on Baltic 
history-- sorry), and the journal article says it further changed in 
the 1920s.

Back to the title of one of the 78s. The essay I read about Latvian 
music says the song "Dsihwoj' pee kundsina" is a traditional folk 
song about a peasant (evidently under feudalism) who has a benevolent 
master.  The journal article, "A Garland of Songs for a Nation of 
Singers" by Kevin Karnes says nothing more about that particular 
song-- the translation of the title is something like "I lived on a 
nobleman's estate," and it was first collected by a folklorist in 
1872 or so.
