Song Information:
Composed by Stephen C. Foster 1826-1864
and John van Buskirk this composition was
published in 1850.
Origins of the Polka can be traced to a Czech peasant dance, developed in Eastern Bohemia (now part of Czechoslovakia). Bohemian historians believe that the polka was invented by a peasant girl (Anna Slezak, in Labska Tynice in 1834) one Sunday for her amusement. It was composed to a folk song "Strycek Nimra Koupil Simla (Uncle Nimra brought a white horse)." Anna called the step "Madera" because of its quickness and liveliness.
In this music we have a strong European sound with some touches of Americana.
Originally for 2 pianos. Arrangement/orchestration: scotty hill
