Tum Balalaika is attributed to a number of Eastern European countries, but is best known as a Russian Jewish folk/love/“riddle” song. Loosely translated, “tum” means “noise,” and the Balalaika is a Russian stringed instrument with a characteristic triangular, hollow, wooden body and three strings, closely related to the domra and mandolin. Carl Strommen's wonderful setting will help any group sound their best.

Tum Balalaika should be played brightly and in a broad flowing manner. As always, attention should be paid to dynamics and articulations.
