Edition of the Berraak from 1973

The Beeraak sheet music collection comprises a repertoire of almost 300 international folk dance melodies from many countries (Eastern and Western Europe, Armenia, Israel, USA). The Beeraak was collected in the Netherlands and first appeared there in 1973.

The songbook has one or two part chords .

History of origin

Beeraak is a composite artificial name from the names of Jan Berend (Beer = bear) and Andries (Akie) Dusink, two members of the Dutch Youth Association for Nature Observation (NJN), who published the first Beeraak for the NJN Congress in 1973. In the NJN, BJN (Belgium), DJN (Germany) and in other youth associations there was a lot of dancing (“hopping”) and the collection of music meant that more and more members of the youth association were able to accompany the dances musically. The first Beeraak was therefore quickly sold out, followed by a second edition in 1975 up to the seventh edition in 1990 for the first 20 years.

In 2001 there were so many new dances in the Netherlands that the folk dance group Kadans published an expanded new edition under the title Meeraak ( M ehraak) in collaboration with Nevofoon.
