“Musikfest” (German for “Music Festival”) is an upbeat and straightforward melodic polka from around 1990, written by Günther Schlatzer and performed by “Grazer Spatzen”, a popular-folk music and Oberkrainer ensemble from Austria (1983-2018). Grazer Spatzen are particularly known for their remarkably high energy polkas, high quality instrumentalists, and amazing baritone playing by Wolfgang Sorger (who wrote a popular solo for the baritone “Bariton Lechner”). This instrumental was recorded at a very fast 166bpm, although I suggest anything starting at 145bpm is suitable. Sheet music 📝 Sheet music pdf (B♭ key)

“Plavi Encijan” (German: “Blauer Enzian”) translates to “Blue Enzian” (Enzian is also known as Gentian, an alpine flower with an intense blue colour). It was written by legendary Slovenian popular folk and Oberkrainer style accordionist and composer Jože Burnik (best known for his instrumentals “Dobro Jutro” or “Guten Morgen” and “Polka Express”, etc), and recorded by Alpski Kvintet (Alpenoberkrainer) from Slovenia, in the 1970s with vocalist Tomaž Tozon (Slovenian singer, choirmaster, composer and music producer), then again in the 1980s with Oto Pestner (popular Slovenian vocalist).

“Tečejo, tečejo nitke” or “Flowing, flowing are threads of life” is a beautiful waltz by Marija Ahačič Pollak which sings of life being short, and threads of life (just like threads of fabric) are easy to tear, therefore we must try to experience and spread as much joy as possible. Marija is a Slovenian singer with many accomplishments who moved to Canada in the 1960s and has dedicated her life to Slovenian music and culture both in Slovenia and Canada, through her work as a singer, composer, musician and radio host, among other work. She is also known for her role in Ansambel bratov Avsenik (then Kvintet Avsenik) in the

Čas počitnic in Slovenian or Schöne Urlaubszeit in German, this polka’s title means ‘Vacation time’ or ‘Have a good vacation time’ and is one of the most popular polkas by Alpski Kvintet (Alpenoberkrainer) from Slovenia. It was written by their first and very influential trumpet player in the Oberkrainer scene, Ivan Prešern (also known as Ivan Prešeren), who has composed over 300 songs, many of them becoming hits for Alpski Kvintet. Ivan’s wife is none other than Alpski Kvintet’s female vocalist throughout the 1970s till the 1990s, Ivanka Kraševec, who was also a Slovenian pop singer in the 1960s. This polka is really energetic especially when played in a quintet.
