The song was created by the legendary duo of composer Matvey Blanter and poet Mikhail Isakovsky, whose collaborations (including the globally famous \"Katyusha\") defined the sound of mid-century Soviet mass songs. Written during the late Stalinist period, the lyrical narrative deeply resonates with themes of devotion to the Motherland, expressing a poignant refusal to leave one's native, autumnal landscapes for warmer, foreign shores (specifically mentioning Africa and the \"Turkish shore\"). This specific publication features a charming, melancholic cover illustration of a birch tree by Soviet artist G. Bogachev. Dedicated by the poet to his wife, Lidia Ivanovna Isakovskaya, the score includes the piano accompaniment, the vocal line, and the full four-stanza poem printed at the end. Preserved in very good condition, this edition is an excellent artifact of post-war Soviet musical culture and a highly desirable piece for performers and collectors of 20th-century Russian vocal music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44514013839402,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_4708.jpg?v=1782600575","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/blanter-m-migratory-birds-are-flying-letyat-pereletnye-ptitsy-words-by-m-isakovsky-voice-and-piano-1949-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
