The crane song

Based on this fairy tale, the ballet "Crane Song" was staged in 1944.

The young man was a renowned musician (he played quray, bashkir longitudinal flute) and a singer.

One day the young man went on horseback to his bride's father and left his horse nearby to graze in the meadow.

In the morning, when the young man came for the horse, he heard a beautiful melody and ran towards the sounds.

The young man remembered the melody, jumped on his horse and rushed to his father-in-law's house.

The old warrior gave his weapon to his son and ordered to gather an army.

During his long journey to the Volga region in 921-922,Ahmed ibn Fadlan, among other things, wrote down the story of how the cranes helped the Bashkirs defeat their enemies.
