The Banner of the Morning Sky
Dec. 19th, 2016 12:55 pmAn unusual string trio from a Siberian orchestra recorded this rock version of a 1970's-era Komsomol song. The tune is by the celebrated Russian composer Alexandra Pakhmutova.
Although this is an instrumental performance, the words of the original song offer some hope in this time of darkness:
"In summer heat and winter snow, the world is poor but also rich;
The youth of the planet, our brigade of builders, is with us;
And the battle goes on, and our hearts are troubled;
And [somewhere] a young Lenin awaits his new October."
(words by N. Dobronravov; translation mine)
