“Rosi Polka” or “Hey Rosi” is an energetic instrumental polka featuring just 2 sung words: “Hey Rosi!” and some challenging keyboard runs. It was written by Felix Gressenberger from Austria, who recorded this song with Die 5 Rosentaler in the late 1980s, and with Friedl Lazarus und seine Original Mooskirchner (also known as Mooskirchner Quintett) in the 1990s. This polka has become a staple of Austrian folk music and Oberkrainer music groups’ repertoires, covered in a variety of folk styles such as Echte Volksmusik through to Oberkrainer style trios and quintetts, and performed on either chromatic button accordion, diatonic button accordion (Steirische Harmonika) or the piano accordion. The song continues […]

Musikfest (G. Schlatzer) [Sheet music]

“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)

“Večeras je naša fešta” is an upbeat song by Croatian pop singer Tomislav Ivčić from the 1980s, which translates to “Tonight is our party”. It has become somewhat of a folk song as well as an unofficial anthem of the Croatian region of Dalmatia, often sung when a Dalmatian sports team wins an important game. It is also played in Slovenia, retaining its Croatian lyrics and played as a polka, and also as a cover by a Polish group “Kapela Górole” who recorded it in the Polish language with the title “Ciebie w Sercu Noszę” which translates to a completely different theme to the original (“I carry you in my

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.

Dem Land Tirol die Treue (F. Pedarnig) [Sheet music]

This Austrian march translates to “Loyalty to Tyrol.” It was composed in the 1950s by Florian Pedarnig, with lyrics by his brother Josef Pedarnig. Published in 1985, the song has risen to the status of the third most played at the Munich Oktoberfest. It received some controversy due to its lyrics briefly referencing the separation of South Tyrol from Austria. However, the intensity of the controversy is questionable, given the song’s lively and upbeat nature and its popularity at events across Austria and Germany. With lyrics expressing pride and love for the state of Tyrol, it has been widely recorded and performed by various musical groups, including brass bands, Oberkrainer

Joey Miskulin is an incredibly accomplished accordionist and music producer of Slovenian and Croatian roots from the United States. I’ve always known about him for his work with Frankie Yankovic (in the Cleveland-Style Polka genre), although Miskulin has worked with the likes of Johnny Cash, John Denver, and even contributed to the soundtrack for Toy Story 2 with his American Western Swing band “Riders in the Sky“. Recently, Joey recorded an album in Slovenia called “Back to Slovenia“, with Oberkrainer/Alpine music legends including Mike Orešar (Igor in Zlati Zvoki among other ensembles), Maja Šturm Razboršek (Alpski Kvintet) and Oto Pestner (Alpski Kvintet). ‘Grandpa from Kranj’ caught my attention because of
