Serhiy Okhrimchuk, "Bozhychi" folk ensemble. Ukrainian Dances. Part 1. | | Track Reviews (5) |
|
|
This album is the result of creative cooperation of instrumental part of folk ensemble "Bozhychi" and violinist Serhiy Okhrimchuk. "Triple muzikas" or "triple musicians" features melodies from all over Ukraine, representing a wide array of regions. From the very outset, our interest was to absorb the spirit of folk performance, demonstrated in this compact disc and, in particular, the violin, the garmon' (type of accordion) and the tambourine ensemble, which had been widespread in Ukraine since the beginning of the 20th century. Retaining the core principles of musical performance, inherent to "triple muzikas" (as one folk performer noted, "triple musicians" entails triple music) was possible, primarily due to the active folk expeditionary research carried out by the trio. As in traditional "triplets", every instrument plays its own unique melody, while maintaining and changing it with each performance. Hand-made instruments such as the violin – crafted in the Zhytomyr Polissya after WWII and the garmon' "Vienka", from the beginning of the 20th century are all tuned to convey the very sounding of "triple muzikas". The melodies of dance which feature in this album were recorded in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk regions. "Ukrainian Dances. Part 1" also includes a "School of traditional Ukrainian folk dance. Part 1" on the separate published DVD. information are from the booklet to the CD

...music recorded at the CD is really various, cheerful and alive. I would like to stress – alive. Forty one tracks – forty one groups from the whole country, and at that there’s no synthesizers here. It is, I’d rather say, a force...

...here, one can hear remarkable, very beautiful Ukrainian romances – this is, however surprising, quite a rare genre. Still, the contents of the album does not go down to romances only – for, as we already mentioned, the ensemble feels easy in various genres.

The group likes to arrange folk songs – and often chooses not too well-known variants for this purpose. Here and there, own, author songs by "Susidy" appear among folk ones – but this is even not always noticeable at once, because everything is done in the same stylistics. It happened so this time again.

..the new disc is special for three reasons at once. The first one: until now, no discs devoted to Ukrainian folk dances have yet been released within the limits of the collection. The second – in this case, you will almost not see known names. Well, and the third reason is already more habitual: you will hardly be able to find the recordings represented here anywhere else, in fact, they were made especially for the NRCU funds.

Levko Durko, as usual, does not limit himself to just collecting enough songs for an album and releasing it. As he says himself, songs do not come to him upon request – an impulse from outside is needed. Some event, a funny scene, conversation or even simply a word – and only then songs appear quite independently. Thus, as you see, not one by one, but in real thematic cycles.

...in general the notion of Ukrainian folk songs by half comprises of the idea that these songs are mostly doleful...

Well, here is an absolutely fresh creation by Levko Durko. If his previous discs were intended, in fact, for children, this one will be able to cheer up adults as well. Actually, it is even advisable not to offer this disc to the junior generation – it contains such jokes that may be heard only in an adult company.

So many different people , so many different opinions. When it comes to Ukraininan music there is a very familiar sound that touches the heart. If I want to be happy I just insert the CD and my feet have a reaction of their own. You should see me driving.

This is the kind of CD of Ukrainian music that I have been waiting for - a very traditional approach - not "stage Ukrainian", yet well executed. It helps one see this music in relation to other music from surrounding countries. I look forward to the DVD of the dances themselves.
