I propose these two songs for June (the second is in fact a proposition from Rex):

Vdol po Piterskoy (Вдоль по Питерской)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vdol_po_Piterskoy

There is a video tutorial on how to play it on the diatonic:

The musical notes and an english translation: www.polinashepherd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Vdol-pa-Piterskay-Score.pdf

Schweizerpsalm (Diligam te, Domine)

The notes are on the Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Psalm

Thank you for listing two songs for June, Sebastian.
Someone had asked me for tabs for the second song, which seems to be the Swiss National Anthem but also seems to be a hymn. I tabbed this score for chromatic

www.8notes.com/scores/23177.asp

Let me know if anyone wants that tab. Interesting tune. Easy on the chromatic. Probably a challenge on the diatonic but it does seem possible to me.

Is that first tune minor?

I tried to tab the Schweizerpsalm (for standard tuning):


6      6  6  7  7  -7 -7
Tritts im Morgenrot daher,

6   6   6   -8 -8    7  7
seh ich dich im Strahlenmeer,

8     8 -8  -8 -8 7 -7 -7  -6 6
dich, du Hocherhabener, Herrlicher!

-7   -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 6  6
Wenn der Alpenfirn sich rötet,

-7 -7  -7 -7 7 -8  8   -8 7 -7
betet, freie Schweizer, betet!

6  6 6   7 -7 -6 -6
Eure fromme Seele ahnt,

-6 -6 -6 -8  7 -7 -7
eure  fromme Seele ahnt

8    8 -9 -8   7 -7 7
Gott im hehren Vaterland,

8     8  -9     -8  7  7   7 -7 -6 -7  7
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Va-------terland.

There is a small change in the third line to avoid one alterated note. And of course playing chords doesn't sound equally nice in all places as long as you use only one harmonica.

Hm, YT shows me plenty of videos.

The first ten results for a search by "vdol po piterskoi" www.youtube.com/results?search_query=vdol+po+piterskoi are:

Here is the arrangement in Bb that was posted above, from the YouTube piano tutorial. Played on a Suzuki SCX chromatic. Recorded on my cell phone with a free voice recording app. (My computer or my Focusrite analog to digital convertor are not working well together at the moment, so better quality recording is not possible.)
