Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help me to find the sheet music of Cossack Patrol by Ivan Rebroff for voice and piano (in the original Russian lyrics but with English pronounciation approximations if possible). I`ve looked in some online stores but no luck. Does anyone know where I could find it please? I`m not sure if a sheet music version actually exists but it`s worth a try.

Hi Chris,

So am I... can you tell me whether you`ve found the lyrics yet?

Thanks,

Tim

As am I... The lyrics in particular.

If either of you come across them, could you please email them to me re: Cossack Patrol?

Thank you very much in advance.

as am I, I think it may be a lost cause

Hi all,

I also started looking for the sheet music for this when I came across your request. I didn`t find the Rebroff version with lyrics. but there are two copies of the sheet music listed for sale on the internet. The first is a full band arrangement available from
Da Capo Music
112A Glebe Point Road
Glebe NSW Australia 2037
Phone +61 2 9660 1825
Fax + 61 2 9660 1268
music@dacapo.com.au
Price is AUD$25 + pack and post.
The second is available from the Sheet Music Warehouse in the UK at a cost of 7 pounds UK. http://www.sheetmusicwarehouse.co.uk/20th_Century_t.html

Apparently this melody was taken from Cavalry of the Steppes, by Lev Knipper (1898-1974). There is a MIDI version available at

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks for your help everyone, sorry I haven`t replied for a while. I still haven`t managed to find the lyrics anywhere on the web unfortunately; I suppose the sites most likely to have them are Russian ones, it might be difficult to portray the pronounciation in English characters.

I found a site with the lyrics and sheet music at:

http://www.kaikracht.de/balalaika/english/songs/poly_not.htm

I`m also trying to find sheet music/midi, the CMC link is dead. cmc.com seems to be not up
that last link is ok, since it has the vocal notes, but i`m trying to find the whole load. :\
