ZAYNULLA

“ZAYNULLA”,  a  Bashkir  ethnic  song, uzun-kuy.  First  registered  by  K.Khammatov from quaray player S. Bikbulatov in 1939 in the Stariy Sibay village, Baymak District, BASSR. It is published in “Bashkort khalk yirdary” by K.F. Akhmetov. The song is lyrical. The poeti­ cal lyrics are a monologue of the imprisoned Zaynulla. He dedicates his speech to his Moth­ erland, closest people and beloved as he will never see them again. The melody has a wide range of sounds, small ornamented chants. Se­ quences create the form, its melodical waves make the song peaceful.
