Однозвучно гремит колокольчик (catch all variant, use if you unsure who the composer is)
~ Song
Annotation
Note: There are at least two 19th century songs with this name and exactly the same lyrics but different music:
- Однозвучно гремит колокольчик by Константин Сидорович. This song is in major key; it is more "folkish" and sung much more often than the second one.
- Однозвучно гремит колокольчик by Александр Гурилёв. This song is in minor key; it is more "operatic" than the first one.
Use one of that works if you are sure who the composer is. Use this work in case of uncertainty.
Beware: Credits on LP and CD covers are often incorrect. Listen to a track and compare it with the notes or with the performance examples below to determine the variant. Alternatively, listen to the lyrics: in Гурилёв's variant the last line of each stanza repeats:
Однозвучно гремит колокольчик,
И дорога пылится слегка,
И уныло по ровному полю
Разливается песнь ямщика.
Разливается песнь ямщика. (* Only in Гурилёв version. *)
In Сидорович's variant some singers repeat the last two lines, not one.
Performance examples found on YouTube:
- Сидорович version: Don Kosaken Chor Serge Jaroff, М. Магомаев и Т. Синявская, И. Козловский, В. Атлантов, I. Rebroff, З. Соткилава, ансамль им. Александрова, ВИА «Ариэль», М. Капуро, хор п/у А. Свешникова and many, many others.
- Гурилёв version: Д. Хворостовский, В. Малышев, О. Погудин, Б. Руденко, Л. Мясникова.
