Rhythm: smooth, with elements of a round‑dance pattern, $4/4$ time signature. In the verses — steady, meditative; in the choruses — with light syncopations. Tempo: 90–100$ BPM (andante), creates a solemn atmosphere. Vocals: polyphony (3–4 voices). In the verses — restrained sound in the lower and middle registers; in the choruses — brighter, with legato transitions. Intonations are melismatic, with a folk flavour. Instruments: gusli (melodic foundation), zhaleika (countermelodies), bayan (harmonic support), tambourine (rhythm), small bells (in the choruses). Light reverb creates a sense of open space.
