Fliege mit mir in die Heimat – Ko v jutranjem soncu (F. Winkler) [Sheet music]

Fliege mit mir in die Heimat (German for “Fly home with me”), also known as Am Strande von Rio, was composed by Franz Winkler from Tyrol, Austria, and initially released in the 1940s. Over the years, this beloved song has been adapted into several languages, including: English: “Forever and Ever”, French: “Étoile des Neiges” and Slovenian: “Ko v jutranjem soncu planine žare” (which translates to “When the Mountains Glow in the Morning Sun”). The original German lyrics convey a sense of homesickness and a romantic invitation to a loved one to fly back home together. This waltz commonly features in Alpine folk music, frequently performed by groups from Austria and

‘Misel na tebe’ (Slovenian for ‘Thinking of you’) is another of the many beautiful waltzes by Slovenian composer Boris Kovačič, who wrote hundreds of songs across different genres during his career, including many Oberkrainer style polkas and waltzes. This waltz was released in 1964 on his ensemble’s (Ansambel Borisa Kovačiča) album ‘Vsi mladi fantje’ which also featured his wife Stanka Kovačič on vocals, Avsenik’s clarinet player from the 1950s to early 1960s Franci Teržan, and incredible chromatic button accordion player Vital Ahačič, among others.

‘Ribič Jaka’ is a polka by the Avsenik brothers from Slovenia, which was recorded in at least two different versions throughout the 1960s, with different names. The earlier instrumental version was released on German records as ‘Liebes Mädchen komm’ (Dear girl, come on) with a Slovenian title of ‘Oj, ti Janka’ (Oh, you, Janka), whereas the later version with vocals by Franc Koren and Ema Prodnik was titled ‘Ribič Jaka’ (Fisherman Jaka) and featured on the 1964 Slovenian LP ‘Stari mlin’ (Old mill). To my knowledge, it was never released with German vocals. I first heard it on a German compilation CD of 1960s Avsenik recordings which were originally released
