Topic: Suvalkija


  
 The Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore
A relatively small area of Suvalkija – the districts of Marijampolė and Vilkaviškis – is presented by the first CD’s songs and instrumental music.
It is worth mentioning that all the songs of 1935–1939 of Suvalkija represent one-part singing, they are characteristic of a peculiar monodic expression: refined melodic lines, variable modal structures, changing metres, subtle ornamentation of the melody.
Popular polkas were prevalent in the repertory of the fiddlers from Suvalkija, and thus a great diversity of means of expression and melody patterns contained by them have been presented in the CD.

 On-line Map of Suvalkija - 1907 Atlas
FYI - The Polish Genealogical Society of America (PGSA) has an online, downloadable/printable atlas from 1907 (The Illustrated Geographic Atlas of the Kingdom of Poland - Atlas Geograficzny Illustrowany Królestwa Polskiego).
The maps were scanned and updated with coordinates so that they can be indexed.
All the village/town names are the Polish spellings which may be of great help for some since many of the Ellis Island entries used the Polish version of village names rather than Lithuanian.

The people of Suvalkija, according to a book about Lithuanian culture, are known for their thrifty nature, such that other Lithuanians joke that the Suvalkijans would bring live turkeys to feasts, only to peck at the crumbs.
The journey took three hours — not because it needed to, but because this was a slow country bus that stopped at every damn hamlet and village it passed through.
The bus wondered through Suvalkija's little villages and before I expected it, the yank got off the bus.
