Kaval Sviri (Sheet Music)

[@willowkepler]

I was watching the choir sing this piece and thought to myself "if only I could see the score, I could see what's going in the chords." Then I saw this video a minute later. Thank you so much!

[@MorbidMayem]

A kaval plays, mother, up there, down there, mother below the village I am going to see it, mother, to see it and hear it. If he is one of ours, I will love him from dawn till dusk, If he is a stranger, I will love him all my life.

[@ianmcardle8519]

Once again, these amazing ladies bring me tears. I saw them in the early nineties. I could barely breath. I could not speak in the interval.

[@nendorocchi]

Now i know where the japanese took their inspirations for "uninstall" and the theme for ghost in the shell. Kaval Sviri is a masterpiece.

[@coleorum]

I have only recently found the amazing sound of Bulgarian female choirs and can only wonder at the vocal skills required to perform the close and subtle harmonies so perfectly. Being able to see the notation is a real education....thank you for posting.

i played this in marching band it’s it was really cool to hear a drum line with this dissonance

AND THEN THEY EXPANDED THE UPPER PART AS IF EXPLORING THE UPPER PART OF UNIVERSE THEN THEY WENT SUPER LOW ALMOST BARITONE NOTES EXPLORING THE LOWER PART OF UNIVERSE!!! WOWWWWWW

This is awesome! It is where Joseph LoDuca got the Xena Warrior Princess theme song and others after modifying it.

Would love to see the sheet music for Dai mi, Boje as sung by Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere!

[@audiomuse]

This song has really cool tonality and contrapuntal texture. Who’s the composer?

[@mead1955]

According to the sheet music, it's a fellow named Petyer Lyondev.

[@atessenturk8766]

I think it's an anonymus traditional Bulgarian song. Lyondev is the person who arranged this for choir.

[@bulgarianlady]

Nope. He only uses a theme from the folklore. This is his work

[@andrewbloom7694]

It's an old Bulgarian folk song. It's most famous for being the Fight Theme in Xena: Warrior Princess.

The people of Bulgaria.

[@desorgo]

I've been looking for sheet music collections of these folk arrangements - where did you find it?

[@tr3ndkiller]

There's a pdf on scribd with a bunch of traditional Bulgarian folk tunes in the form of a lead sheet. If you're looking to learn more about choir arrangements in the style of Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares you can check out Kalin Kirilov's book "Bulgarian Harmony: In Village, Wedding, and Choral Music of the Last Century". It's short but dense and has some great resources.

[@harmonysue2323]

Me too. Anyone know how to get the sheet music off the video feed... or is it just one image at a time and cut and paste?

[@HilliBilliBob]

I know this is three years late but there are quite a few arrangements on Musescore. I'm currently using this one as reference: musescore.com/stagnantmilk/kaval_sviri

[@juliaarbos]

@@HilliBilliBob thanks!

[@davidnassor6589]

Fun fact, they actually sing this piece in a pitch between the notes of the piano, you cant play along with it on even a digital piano. If you play along the beginning, you realize the notated "e" is actually already a note between e and f! Fascinating!

[@Remour]

It’s still in 12tet, it’s just they are tuned a quarter sharp up

[@freepilot7732]

It works for me.

[@cmmartinez51607]

this is my hs marching band opener this year

[@OurNewestMember]

Ohh good opener! Hope it was a good season!

[@sputniki5477]

Would anyone be able clarify the last chord for me? Are they really hitting that F at the "ri" three measures from the end? My ear might not be that great, but I'm getting a lot of clash with the other notes on what otherwise sounds like a pretty clear major chord.

[@danhoenn]

They are! the key has an F sharp in it so the chord becomes E Maj9. If you’re familiar with solfege this is like having Do, Re, and Mi at the same time instead of just Do and Mi. The F sharp is part of the E major scale so instead of sticking out it blends really nicely with the chord and just adds a lot of color and warmth. The singers’ tone is especially bright and pointed, making the chord especially “ping-y” and this can also make harmonies like that harder to pick out.

[@spanqueluv9er]

@@danhoenn More likely E add2 than E9.

[@56independent]

00:01 How come that the cyrillic transcription romanises to "Kafal sviri" whilst the latin text below it says "kaval sviri"?

[@huskytail]

The кафал is not correct, кавал is. That's what they sing as well. In this case.the transliteration is the correct one.

[@konradkordovsky9335]

f and v are often confused by English translators...... V sound in Slavic is written B. F is a unique Cyrillic letter circle with line through it.

[@onyxiris]

Amazing! Where did you find the score for this?

[@theblyatman3856]

Hint: tune your instrument up 50 cents to match the recording

[@munzutai]

These major 2nd textures remind me a lot of Japanese music for some reason. Especially when they're stacked, like at 1:57 Edit: I think now I know why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4bTo2R8ZsmNqpI

[@nevoaraiaa]

What time signature is this in in the first part

[@WolfgangXP65-67]

It's a switch up between 3/4 and 5/4.

[@GlennAustin829]

2:07 the blend

[@myheartatwork]

Just my first impression upon hearing this. i'm probably wrong but to me they sound somewhat of a distant relative - or at least this might be the weaponized version kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqavc2ZrjadsfMk While this piece soar to the Major chords before the the Coda (@1:40), Yuriko's OST pounces on the dark themes of war staying in the minor as it's anchor.

[@Borodin410]

What is the time signature?

[@heliazbat]

i'm lost, how count 9/16??????????

[@dihydrogen]

the 9/16 parts are always in beats of 2, 2, 2, 3

[@spanqueluv9er]

@Leonardo González It depends on the grouping of beats, but the person above has got it correct.👍👌

[@OurNewestMember]

100%. Didn't crossmen run this many years ago? And apparently Seattle Cascades chose it for this year. Many high school marching bands, too. It's fantastic on the field (obviously it needs some skill with pitch and meter and needs a big enough band for all the parts)
