Here We Go

Here We Go Round Slovenia — A Journey of Song takes the reader on a trip around Slovenia, presenting some of this beautiful subalpine country's cultural and folk heritage.

The eighteen songs arranged by Blaž Pucihar, a prominent Slovene composer and pianist, embody the language and stories of the people as they used to be sung. Not only do they talk of how the people once lived, but also provide a wonderful feel of the geography of the land with his carefully selected vocal and instrumental ensemble for each composition.

The illustrations by Damijan Stepančič further add to the special feel through which the reader can get a sense of Slovenia and its people. An introduction to each song has been prepared by Dušica Kunaver providing various interesting facts about life in the times of the past.

Come and discover the musical world of Slovenia with this wonderfully illustrated songbook!

Where are those paths

Where are those paths that used to be ?

Now lush with shrubs and grasses green.

I'll chop the shrubs, and reap the grass,

I'll make the paths as used to be.
