Korobeiniki is perhaps the best-known Russian folk song in the world. Anyone who played Gameboy in days long past will surely still remember the Tetris melody, but perhaps they wouldn't know that this melody comes from Russia and tells a pretty nocturnal romance which allows some leeway for interpretation ... Well - this is Korobeiniki! For this arrangement, I was looking for the greatest possible contrast to the Tetris music: a kind of five-part fugue in five verses for five singers; a folk polyphony, so to speak, which - respectfully but with a twinkle in the eye - turns the contrapuntal art form into an arrangement, but at some point degenerates because one singer likes his folk song tune so much that he can't get enough of it and pushes himself more and more into the foreground ... (Ludwig Bohme).
