		Bylini is a term coined in the 1830s, and translates to "what happened".
		Bylini were generally performed as a mix of narration and singing, characterized by smoothness and solemnity.
		Many bylini were borrowed and used in Russian operas like Boris Gudnov and Sadko, and composers of the 19th century looked to the forms used in music of the 15th - 17th centuries for inspiration.

	Ilya Muramets: Symphony No. 3, Op. 42
		And Russian music also offers two significant precedents, in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Antar and Tchaikovsky’s Manfred, for a symphony based firmly on a narrative program.
		The subject of Gliere’s Third Symphony is Ilya Muramets, Ilya of Murom, one of the central figures of the Old Russian bylini, or heroic chants.

	THE FRONTIER IN MEDIEVAL HISTORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The frontier created for history not only new lands of European culture, but new peoples--the Portuguese, the Castilians, the Austrians, the Prussians, the Great Russians, peoples who move swiftly to dominate the modern history of their respective countries.
		It produced a frontier literature in historical works like Helmold's Chronicle of the Slavs or Giraldus Cambrensis' inimitable studies in Welsh and Irish frontier sociology; in heroic works like the Lay of Igor's Campaign or the Poema del Cid; the frontier ballads, romances and bylini that call for collective study.
		And like so many things medieval, the frontier did not end in 1453, or 1492, or 1500, but passed on into the making of modern civilization.
