Georgian Folk Music - Kelaptari - Orovela

This is one of Georgian folk songs called "Orovela" and it was performed during some field work. The ensemble: Kelaptari, the soloist: Ana Bajiashvili
Georgian national music is very old and one of the uniques in the world.
Georgian folk music possesses what is the oldest tradition of polyphonic music in the world, predating the introduction of Christianity.
Tuning
Scales used in traditional Georgian music have, like most European scales, octaves divided into seven tones (eight including the octave), but the spacing of the tones is different. As with most traditional systems of tuning, traditional Georgian folk music uses a just perfect fifth. Between the unison and the fifth, however, come three evenly-spaced notes, producing a compressed (compared to most European music) major second, a neutral third, and a stretched perfect fourth. Likewise, between the fifth and the octave come two evenly-spaced notes, producing a compressed major sixth and a stretched minor seventh. This system of tuning renders thirds as the most consonant interval after fifths, which resulted in the third being treated as a stable interval in Georgia long before it acquired that status in Western music.[citation needed]
Some consider the Georgian scale a "quintave system" (as opposed to the octave-repeating "octave system"). Due to the neutral tuning within the quintave system, the eighth degree or octave is slightly widened, which often results in a rise in pitch from the beginning of a song to the end.
Because of the influence of the Western music and its different system of tuning, present-day performances of Georgian folk music often employ Western tuning, bringing the seconds, fourths, sixths, and sevenths, and sometimes the thirds as well, closer to where they would lie in a Western scale.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.

[@kelleydupuis3065]

When I was teaching English in Tbilisi, one of my little girls got up in front of class one day and sang a Georgian folk song. I couldn't understand a word of it and it damn near broke my heart.

[@philiphill8088]

I would like to have followed the journey that unfolded for you.

[@UndefinedMari]

This summer I was driving back from Stepantsminda to Tbilisi and I was sitting on the back seat of the car, looking out the window at Georgia's breathtakingly beautiful landscapes sliding past. The sun was setting, nobody in the car spoke, only Georgian folk music was playing and these were one of the most amazing hours of my life. I've been looking for that music ever since, to relive the moments. Why didn't I ask the driver what the music was.. It could've been something like this.

[@LoviniaDickens]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Only word to describe it.

[@kelleydupuis3065]

I know the road from Stepantsminda to Tbilisi. Dizzying mountain vistas like nothing else I've ever seen. Especially effective when you're being driven by a Georgian policeman who drives like a maniac...Georgian music is so haunting, like something from a land beyond time...

[@Marraudor]

Very kind, always welcome to visit the european continent, there is soo many history, culture and spirituality found , that is being build for thousand of years and If I go to the mountains of Armenia and someone is playing the duduk , I feel in harmony with nature and life, a feeling u must feel once in youre life.

[@CecilioeVirgilio]

La profonda bellezza e la spiritualità che ispira questo canto é grande. La voce dell'anima (la musica) parla direttamente al cuore superando ogni ostacolo e ogni differenza culturale o di bandiera. La musica é la voce di Dio: E' l'unica arte eterea e impalpabile che entra direttamente nel nostro spirito. Le tradizioni folkloriche e popolari della Georgia mi ricorda molto il folklore corso (Corsica). Un fraterno abbraccio alle tradizioni di questo popolo.

Восхитительно! Оровел -- песня пахаря у армян и грузин.Ровел по-армянски - невспахиваемая межа между 2 полями. Уставший пахарь с тоской и вожделением ждал, когда же он дойдет до ровела, чтобы отдохнуть, вздыхая ,,О, ровел''. Интересно, что по-грузински ори - два, а вели - поле!!! Чья песня? Наша! Люблю вас, грузины!

First Georgian Kingdom was Colchis 3700-3800 years ago, but Proto-Georgian nation was inhabiting Caucasus from sea Azov to Zakatala and from Sokhumi to Batumi and Trabzon. there are few words in Georgian language which was adopted from Akadians, Sumerians (Sumerians corns is in Caucasus) and others. Georgian language was formed 8000-7000 years ago, alphabet in 3'd BC from Greek Alphabet. Georgia sent lots of empires into hell, but nobody could destroy this Country.
