 A filming of a documentary featuring about a training of the Morin
khuur (national musical instrument - horse headed fiddle) has been
performed in Dundgobi Aimag. The UNESCO Mongolian National Commission
implements projects in Saintsagaan and Ulziit soums to run the morin
khuur training and in Erdenedalai soum to deliver cultural and
educational services to rural residents. The documentary shows that how
the famous morin khuur players N.Dagiiranz teach the morin khuur to the
Aimag morin khuur players Ts.Nergii and R.Dorjpalam. The above
Commission s Secretary General N.Urtnasan has recently visited the
Aimag to become au fait with the project` processes. He made a decision
to render a financial assistance to the restoration of the Unest
temple, which is located in the area of Tsagaan Ovoo bag (smallest
rural administrative unit) of Erdenedalai soum.

In Memoriam Tsog
Shagdarsüren
by Simon Wickham-Smith
The death on November 24th of my friend and colleague Tsog
Shagdarsüren has dealt a severe blow to the Mongolian literary
community. Tsog had been educated during the 1970s in Dresden, and his
fluent German meant that he was able to translate texts from both
literature and economics (a subject with which he had been
professionally involved) into Mongolian. He had also spent some years
working on translating books about history and economics into and out
of English, including Francis Fukuyama's The End of History.
But
in recent months, Tsog had decided to put his energy into translating
Mongolian literature into English. He and I spent August preparing Ancient Splendor,
an anthology of Mongolian poetry from the earliest sources until the
communist era, and had only in the last few weeks finished our
translation of poetry by six of Mongolia's most important young poets.
Next year, we were hoping to start a translation of Injanashi's Khökh Sudar.
Tsog had such a keen understanding of nuance in language, a willingness
to learn, an eagerness to develop and expand his knowledge: he was an
enthusiast, his mind was like a sponge.
His
contribution to other areas of Mongolian cultural life may not have
been so extensive, but it should nonetheless be mentioned. He
organised in 2005 an exhibition of photographs taken by his father, who
had been private secretary to Marshal Kh Choibalsan. He was also
partly responsible for the Roaring Hooves music festival, having
introduced the organisers to one another during the late 1990s.
Tsog's
loss will be felt by all of us who knew him, for however long. He was
a fine translator, a witty and scholarly man, and most importantly, he
was my friend. Comments (1) |
