R. Romanovskaia: Snowball Berry Red (1964). With G. Bovina, V. Mamontova, A. Dmitrieva and the Soviet Song Quartet. Folk lyrics to music by Ia. Frenkel'.
This lovely folk motif echoes throughout the movie, sung by various characters in various tones, including Egor's rendition, reflecting his new life and love. The later stanzas of the song, which he never sings, are more indicative of his fate.
