Short description:
A treasury of unique folk songs in the Deitsch dialect
MoreLong description:
New Zealand’s German-Bohemian settlers have played, sung and danced to the music, songs and rhymes documented in this treasury of folk music for over 150 years.
Sung in their unique dialect and played with traditional instruments, this music is a link between New Zealand and Bohemia, now part of Czechoslovakia. To create this important book, the authors rebuilt the songs through interviews with descendants of the first settlers, research into European folk songs and transcriptions of recordings. They can be played on most instruments and are a thoroughly readable and singable resource for young and old.
After Winter Comes the Summer also offers insights into the lives of the people of Pūhoi, and later Ōhaupō, both in their native country and in a new and unfamiliar land. It is a case study of a small colonial New Zealand village, its development and growth, its music and culture, and its relationships and links back to Bohemia.
‘They endured much hardship, but they also seemed to know how to party’ — Mark Amery, RNZ
