REFERENCES

David Shochat learned this medley in 1972 at a folk dance "camp" on the island of Badija in the Adriatic.

He said, "The little 'suite' of East Serbian dances I brought back was a little different (not taught to recorded music) since they had an actual live musician at the camp. He played all three dances on a dual-chanter bellows-driven bagpipe. I didn't have a tape recorder, so I just wrote down the music, and for the LP, we played brass band (that was me on tuba) instead of gajda."

AMAN Folk Ensemble Institute record, volume 4 has Polomka, Metovničanka, i Kostenka.
