"Galanin dibinda" (Azerbaijani: Qalanın dibində, English: At the foot of the fortress[1]) is an Azerbaijani folk lyric song.[2] It belongs to the round dance genre named "yalli".[1]
The form of the song "Galanin dibinda" is the most popular in the folklore structure (in particular in Azerbaijani) consisting of a pair of periodicities (ААBB). Corresponding to the double holding of a pair of periodicities of each phase, it has as its prototype the principle of the Beit.[3] The basis of its composition is the quarto-quinto-tertz system.[4]
On the foundation of this song, the Russian composer Mikhail Glinka created the Choir for his opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila".[5][6] So, in 1823 Glinka made a trip to the Caucasus. Getting acquainted with the music of the Caucasus nations, this left a significant mark on the composers creative consciousness that was reflected in his later works on oriental themes. Using the song "Galanin dibinda" in his opera is an example of such a reflection.[7]
The songs intonations are heard in the operetta of the Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov "Arshin Mal Alan", in the chorus of girls from the second act.[8]
The song was recorded on the notes written by the Azerbaijani composer Said Rustamov.[3]
There is an Azerbaijani dance with the same name performed on the music of the song.
