The Nightingale Trio | Vdova | NORTH SHORE SESSIONS

The Nightingale Trio performs "Vdova" behind the frozen Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis for North Shore Sessions. Directed/shot by Trent Waterman.
Widow's song from Ukraine. A young woman is walking, carrying her son. She stops to feed him and asks, "Oh, my young son, where has your father gone?" An eagle flying overhead calls down to her, telling her he knows where her husband has gone, for the raven has scattered his bones over the dry riverbeds and his dark hair over the green fields.

I was so touched by this that it brought tears to my eyes, reminds me of the songs of the songs that my grandmothers used to sing.

[@NightingaleTrio]

silentXvoice We are SO honored to hear from people like you, who have the songs of their grandmothers in them -- we would love to learn some of your favorites, if you remember a specific tune or two.

[@silentXvoice]

Nightingale Trio One of my favorites is "Ой ходить сон коло вікон". At least this is the one that i can best remember, because I was sung also Lithuanian lullabies to. And those have stuck with me better.

[@NightingaleTrio]

silentXvoice Oh, great. We will look that one up. Thank you so much!

[@NightingaleTrio]

+silentXvoice - did you know we now recorded Ой ходить сон коло вікон?? It is here! thenightingaletrio.bandcamp.com/track/oj-khodyt-son This was totally inspired by your comment. We love the song so much, and are so grateful to you.
