Well I think its the original that made it popular even tho its a folk song and probably there are bulgarian choir that have sung it. The rest are inspired by it and often foreign people who try to learn it. Some make very good performances but yes its not the same.
In addition to the singing, which we all agree is out of this world, let's also appreciate the traditional garments which I think are almost equally beautiful. The patterns, the colors, the flowers/headdress, even the shoes, all very elegant and beautiful, and evocative of nature and the Sun. Bulgarian folklore is incredible and massively underappreciated, everyone needs to know about this beautiful culture! I hope these young women are touring the world.

How did you guys go about learning this song? I do play cello but I've never been part of a choir like this before and I find it fascinating. Do you all read sheet music for the individual vocal parts and learn songs that way? If so, do you ever use some sort of reference like a piano to help you be able to hear and learn your part better? Or do you somehow listen to your isolated parts sang by someone else and memorize them that way, bringing it to the full group later? I'm honestly just really curious how a song like this is learned. The complex harmonies must make it that much more difficult to learn and pull off as a group, so what exactly is the process of learning this song for an ensemble?

@@STSGuitar16 great questions! I previously played violin before I sang full time so string player solidarity ✊ Basically, yes to any question you asked! All are ways you can tackle a song this complex. We had a choir member who had done it before OUR group did it, she helped teach it, and we also essentially broke the score down into little chunks and since we had heard the recording too that helped. A lot of it is being smart with reading music and watching your conductor carefully. But, you can’t get people to SOUND this way if they don’t. As in this would be considered a “belting” vocal style. I was studying it in my musical theatre track, many of my choir mates were classical ONLY which… is a style that doesn’t sound great on “Kaval Sviri” 😅 😂 Hope that helps! 😊

@@graceh.2193 thanks for answering! That’s pretty cool. Seems like a much more relaxed way to learn music versus just having the sheet music and learning it in your own. I may be wrong in saying this, but it sounds like it’s just a “whatever you need to do to learn your part, do it” lol. Did y’all have any people with perfect pitch who could just sight-read the sheet music for something like this? Sight-reading sheet music for an instrument is much easier considering you know where every note is along the neck and have reference notes all around you. Basically, you see a G in whatever octave and you know exactly where to go on the instrument to play it without having to search for it or anything. On a string instrument, a G is a G. When singing, that same G isn’t immediately obvious as to how it is supposed to sound unless you have perfect pitch and can read vocal music. Idk, I’m kinda rambling here lol but I just find the idea of seeing notes on a page and knowing exactly how to sing it with no outside reference (like a piano where you could play your part and learn it that way) to be fascinating. I’m just used to the instructions being clearly written in front of you and all you have to do is follow those instructions. With singing in a choir, those instructions are way less clear as to how they’re supposed to sound (if you don’t have perfect pitch), so to me it seems like a miracle that a choir could learn a song like this. What was your preferred way to learn it? Do you often read music, and if so are you actually paying attention to the notes on the page or more so the lyrics?

I think part of the challenge is, you never have to tune a human voice, so you’re never constantly listening to something like open A all the time to get into tune. You just go for it and follow your conductor. It’s so cool!

Originally it was Xena Warrior Princess that brought me here, but after doing more research, I am truly smitten by the beauty and conviction of Bulgarian vocals. Such a rich culture!. As a proud Nigerian, I know the value of culture and tradition and I can definitely appreciate that in Bulgarian culture....plus the women in the video are gorgeous....lol

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, there's something profoundly and disturbingly moving about this harmony. It's as if I've died, and I'm being greeted by valkyries to the warrior's afterlife. I'm shaking.

And the song is just about the yearning for love to come from a nearby village. Basically the unpredictability of life. Says a lot about the song how those feelings are presented through the music.

It was fitting music to include on the Xena: Warrior Princess soundtrack! This is solely how I got into Bulgarian music (and I'm from Australia). It's truly something special.

It’s a very very ancient way of singing, and was used for ritualistic purposes during spiritual events back when things were still pagan. Something very similar is the Kulning way of singing in Scandinavia, which is now a folk motif but was originally a way to “open the doors” to the spirit realm. So that might be the reason this kind of singing (it’s called Bilyi Holos or White Voice btw) gives you those kind of feelings. It’s speaking to something deeper within you.

It’s so fucking hard to find this piece sung correctly with that AMAZING whiny quality and the wavy traditional riff type deal the S1 took at the end. Pure PERFECTION. Amazing, utterly amazing.
@alanwomack99484 жыл бұрын
Have you noticed that whiny quality you talked about in Slavic folk music in general? The Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian Lemko etc women have this haunting, wild, high pitched whine that sounds fucking amazing. I never heard this until I went to a concert in Slovakia with many folk singers from around Europe... and I noticed that it’s inherent in many different forms of Slavic music. I wonder if there is a name for this style of singing.
