View Poll Results: What is Music? (Poll added on 6th of May 2012).
I come for chapters I and II because of an insecurity about the lyrics. Fortunately he enunciates clearly. The lyrics that I find on the Web are oftentimes surprising reincarnations of Usenet-articles from around 2000 and obviously never corrected... This is frustrating, especially for songs which have lost meaning and must be contextualized. They should all be labelled Handle with Care, nowadays.
B.T.W. A release-date of 1967 for chapter II surprises me. I always understood it as the swansong of Flower-Power, like the opposite of chapter I. There you have it...
If I must guess, I say it is beautiful Turkish Pop. Popular like in: 115K thumbs-ups against 4.4K thumbs-downs. Or like in
Ekin Uzunlar was born on the 21st of August, 1991. He is known for being a Pop Singer. (https://www.celebsages.com/ekin-uzunlar/)
This is about instrument he is playing on. Rather some traditional Turkish. I guess of course. Kind of violin. The meaning of "pop music" is different in different countries. Do you think this is disco? https://youtu.be/TteHY5d3uqM Yet here in Poland it is called Disco Polo. And is very, very popular.
If all singing was lost and only 1 language remained singable. For me it must be Dutch... or Portuguese. Can somebody do this in Portuguese, please: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAsaIv-6tS8
Edit. Really. Herman Van Veen has written German versions for some of these songs, and I remember them the moment that they come up in his playlist. There is the music, the meaning of the German lyrics and the sound of the Dutch language. Nothing left to add.

Isn't this lovely. Had I read Twee Meisjes and no English translation, I would have thought Two (little) Mice, as Mδuschen is nothing else but the diminutive for Maus (mouse) in German. Still better than the maidservants into which our girls are automatically transformed.
Just for authenticity... while I listen to the concert, I also have a watch on https://map.blitzortung.org/#9.8/48.6496/-0.2395 (There should be sound alright...). We've had so much wind today, that I feared for worse.

Marek Grechuta I will remember. Do you know if he composes and texts? This is in deed close to Herman Van Veen's performance.
He already passed away. He was singer and creator of music to poems. I mean many songs are in reality poems of Polish poets. He created music and performed quite well.
