Russian Folk Songs for Guitar Solo is a selection of nine popular traditional Russian songs arranged for acoustic guitar. In working on the adaptation of these traditional songs I tried to keep to the authentic melodic and rhythmic structure intact. I even took one step further by creating a harmonic structure which preserved the vocal tradition while maintaining the original phrases and rhythmic variations. I also tried to adapt folk guitar technique in my version of these popular and charming Russian songs. the arrangements are in notation and tablature and will be useful for both the fingerstyle steel stringed and nylon stringed guitarists.

Propp's essay in Russian Folk Lyrics extends beyond the formalistic analysis of folklore outlined in his classic The Morphology of the Folktale. In this study, newly translated by Roberta Reeder, Propp considers the Russian folk lyric in the social and historical context in which it was produced. Reeder supplements Propp's theoretical presentation with a comprehensive anthology of examples. Some songs were imitated by or appear in the works of Russia's major writers, such as Pushkin and Nekrasov. Here we find the customs of Russian peasant life expressed through the ritual of song. Whether the songs are about love, labor, or children's games; whether they are sad, humorous, or satiric in tone, Russian folk lyrics are rich in metaphor and symbolic meaning. In addition to the editor's notes to the text and songs, Reeder supplies a bibliography of Propp's sources as well as an extensive selected bibliography.
