A SOULFUL SOUND: Music of the Germans from Russia - produced by Prairie Public
Broadcasting, 2005. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, thousands of German-
speaking peoples established major German settlements in Russia, first along the
Volga River in the north, and secondly along the Black Sea in South Russia and
nearby Bessarabia. Eventually, many migrated yet again, this time to North and
South America. Throughout their travels, these Germans - now Germans from
Russia - maintained their traditional religious music, their lullabies and folk
songs, their vocal and instrumental music alike. A Soulful Sound, Music of the
Germans from Russia blends expert commentary with performances of traditional
music from regional talent. DVD.
