Product Description

An arrangement of the traditional Russian folk song Korobeiniki (also known as the Tetris Theme Song) for unaccompanied cello.

Youve probably spent hours playing Tetris, stacking blocks to the catchy and unmistakable theme song. This legendary tune, arranged by Hirokazu Tanaka in 1989, has become synonymous with the game itself. But did you know that this famous melody has deeper roots in Russian culture?

The Tetris theme song is actually an arrangement of "Korobeiniki," a 19th-century Russian folk song. The original creator of Tetris, Alexey Pajitnov, has expressed disappointment that many people in the Western world recognize it only as a video game tune, missing its rich cultural heritage.

"Korobeiniki" is based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov, which tells the story of a playful encounter between a peddler and a young girl. Their negotiation over the price of goods serves as a metaphor for romantic seduction. The songs lively, dance-like rhythm and its accelerating tempo have made it a beloved piece in Russian folk music.

This arrangement for unaccompanied cello aims to capture the spirit and excitement of "Korobeiniki." Each verse builds in intensity, mirroring the songs original charm. I hope this version and the knowledge of the song's origins allow you to appreciate the piece in a new light.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
