Blown Away by Bulgarian Folk… Kaval Sviri Reaction!

[@MokinNejunu]

God bless! Благодаря!

[@gardenianfly2277]

''The mystery of Bulgarian voices" are the best

[@dara.baltadjieva]

I can confidently say that this is one of the most ancient styles of singing in Europe.

[@sophiaterra-ziva7891]

Your obsession about Lisa Gerrard is correct as she is directly influenced by the Bulgarian traditional singing and she has collaborated on many occasions with great Bulgarian folk musicians.

[@gerokostadinov4355]

Maybe you dont know but Lisa Gerrard from "Dead Can Dance" got at least one Album with ''The mystery of Bulgarian voices" and many many concerts worldwide together...

Host of Seraphim is sung in Bulgarian language and in the Bulgarian folk tradition.

derives from the Thracian culture

I dont usually like reaction content that much but you seem very knowledgeable and intelligent about music. I know you said you dont do this much but I subscribed anyway. Please consider making more videos, your insight is very valuable, especially so compared to the sea of untalented reaction KZbinrs.

[@yacoabreu9]

Sir, I can't make the claim of being an expert but I must say I'm very impressed as you certainly know your stuff. I adore Kaval sviri.

[@deepbluehue3]

I enjoyed this reaction very much ; you bring a lot of knowledge to the table ~

[@ANToxic777]

For me the choir is more reminiscent of Karl Jenkin's Adiemus project. Feels like both he and Lisa drew lots of inspiration from Bulgarian polyphony.

[@veselgana]

Bulgarian folk music is constantly used in movies. The most famous of which are Ghost in the Shell (although here it is more of an influence), Xena, Warrior Princess, 300 and Willow. Unfortunately James Horner gives no credit to Bulgarian folklore, although the main melody in Willow is „borrowed“ almost entirely from the wonderful Bulgarian song Mir Stanke le...

[@RositsaPetrovarjp7]

It is a modern rendition of a traditional song. I got a surprise for you. The Phrygians, a Thracian tribe, are the ancestors of Bulgarians

[@mishotumparov1172]

The song is not modern at all, "Kaval Sviri" is a traditional Bulgarian folklore song. It doesn't have an author and has different versions throughout the different regions in Bulgaria.

[@dihydrogen]

this particular arrangement is relatively modern

[@kppteam]

Xena Warrior

[@aake8497]

Sounds so beautifull!.. Does somebody know what scale fits to this song or are there two or even more scales in this melody?

[@maxp918]

This guy did some analysis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJCmqoh8rKycaqMsi=LnTyad90ytJ2rJCV

[@felldoh9271]

This sounds very similar to one or two tracks from the Xenogears soundtrack (and maybe also Xenosaga’s soundtrack). Squaresoft must have hired a Bulgarian folk choir. Sounds incredible.

[@NickEnchev]

Ghost in the Shell and Xenogears themes were heavily inspired by Bulgarian folk choirs.

[@felldoh9271]

Oh yeah that’s right, I remember that part in Ghost in the Shell.

[@NickEnchev]

@@felldoh9271 I might actually be mistaking with the xeno theme.

[@felldoh9271]

Gotcha

[@amberb071]

Listen to the xena warrior princess sound track the main theme and "Homeland"

[@viktoriavasileva6036]

Kaval Sviri is from 1988 😊

[@adamjacksonmedia]

I see! That's makes sense. Thank you!

[@MarinKarimov]

The modern arrangement of Kaval Sviri is from 1987, but the song is a folklore song.

[@debelix]

The 80's was the decade when the best music ever have been created, no matter the country!

[@ilinskimusic]

Hiya! So “Kaval Sviri” is a song written by Petar Lyondev in 1975. His Professor, Zdravko Manolov encouraged him to continue composing. Thats when it was recorded by Ensemble “Trakia” in Plovdiv. Thank you for reacting to this out of world music!

[@georgispasov5450]

it is not modern, it's a slyle sung for hundreds of years.

[@georgispasov5450]

[@adamjacksonmedia]

Interesting. I had a comment that says the song was created in 1988. I'm not sure to be fair.

[@georgispasov5450]

@@adamjacksonmedia this particular one yea, but in folklore its older

[@Koljadin]

You have the absolute right to be confused about it trying to resolve if it's modern or whatever. I asked a friend who has a vast knowledge about the subject, and he told me that this kind of singing was introduced to Bulgarian folklore a few or several decades ago only. Now, I don't care much about "when", so whenever it's added, it's magical!

[@RositsaPetrovarjp7]

Your friend is not knowledgeable at all. This kind of singing was not introduced to Bulgaria...by anyone. This is the Bulgarian style of singing but the harmonies, arrangements are by Bulgarian composers based on traditional tunes. Call and response is very typical for Bulgarian music

[@iznone]

90% of these is naturally in minor, major is rare.
