Etymology

Plural of 'dumka' from Ukrainian. In English usage, 'dumky' is often used as a title in classical music (like 'Dumky Trio' by Dvořák), where it indicates a suite of such movements.

Kelly Says

Dvořák's 'Dumky Trio' is famous in classical music circles—it's a piano trio with six movements, each inspired by these Ukrainian folk reflections. Imagine taking six different sad Ukrainian stories and turning them into a masterpiece!
