Gorenjska Polka (Slovenian for ‘Polka from Gorenjska‘) or Klarinetten Polka (German for ‘Clarinet Polka’) is an instrumental polka by the legendary Avsenik brothers, Vilko and Slavko Avsenik from Slovenia, dating back to the 1950s (not related to the older ‘Clarinet Polka’ or ‘Polka Dziadek’ from Poland). ‘Gorenjska’ refers to a region in Slovenia known as Upper Carniola in English, or Oberkrain in German. This upbeat polka is usually played by Oberkrainer style quintets instead of trios, featuring a complex clarinet solo in part B, and normally played very fast, sometimes performed as fast as 170bpm by the Avsenik ensemble in some live recordings. Many performances end by repeating part C […]

‘Sanjam o domovini’ (Heimatträume in German) is a waltz by the Avsenik brothers from Slovenia, and the title means ‘Dreaming of my homeland’. It was originally sung by one of the Avsenik ensemble’s female vocalists, Jožica Svete, who was part of their vocal trio from 1974 to 1990 and like most other Avsenik vocalists, has been a professional singer for most of her life across different genres. The lyrics sing of how emotionally difficult it is to be alone in a foreign country, longing to be back home, and how much it hurts (who says polkas and waltzes are always happy?). It was released on Avsenik’s 1976 Slovenian album “Kjer

A Krainer is meiner (German rhyming which implies “Oberkrainer music is my passion”) is a popular instrumental polka by Siegi Binder, accordionist from the Lechner Buam, a legendary Oberkrainer style folk music group from the Niederösterreich (Lower Austria) state of Austria. Siegi Binder is a fantastic and successful music teacher, composer, and stage musician who has written many songs for the Lechner Buam. The Lechner Buam performed for 35 years (counting around 2,500 live performances) until 2018, and they are among the highest calibre Oberkrainer style groups from Austria. I first heard them on a video tape of a televised folk music contest hosted by Karl Moik (better known for

This is another of the most popular polkas by Alpski Kvintet (Alpenoberkrainer) from Slovenia, originally released around the 1970s with the legendary line up which featured Jože Burnik on accordion, Ivan Prešeren on trumpet, Vinko Sitar on clarinet, Jože Antonič on guitar, and Janez Per on baritone (who remains their baritone and bass player to this day). It’s often performed by Oberkrainer style quintets throughout the typical Alpine folk music regions (Slovenia, Austria, Bavaria, Northern Italy, Northern Croatia) where it remains a staple in the repertoire. It was written by Brane Prešeren, Ivan Prešeren’s brother, who also wrote other unique polkas for the group, including Morgensonne, Hansi Polka and Freizeit.

‘Rad te imam’ (Slovenian for ‘I like you’) or better known by its German title ‘Auf nach Kranjska Gora’ (which means ‘Off to Kranjska Gora‘) is a polka by Jože Burnik and recorded by Alpski Kvintet (Alpenoberkrainer) in the early 1980s. It has also been performed on YouTube by Ansambel Juhej from Slovenia as “Veselo v Kranjsko Goro”. It’s a fast, energetic polka from an era where Burnik was the accordion player in Alpski Kvintet, and the ensemble had become very well known across Austria, and by the mid 1980s had influenced many other Austrian folk music ensembles, who began emulating the ‘Alpski’ sound which Alpenoberkrainer have become known for
