With the disc "Z drevljanskoho dzherela" the group presents folk songs of Rivnyanske Polissya as they are, without instrument accompaniment. On this disc, on the contrary, there’s no singing. But you know, there’s no need in it – you do not feel the lack of it at all. Musical compositions performed by "troyistsi muzyky" and instrumental ensembles of the group "Vesnyanka" is something completely all-sufficient. Polkas, waltzes, wedding dances, simple melodies to songs and dances – there are thirty five of them here. I don’t know why, but it seems to me that none of them leaves a listener indifferent. They are performed in such a way, there are so much sun, gladness, emotional strength in these melodies – they simply inspire you with the feeling of happiness. This music may seem simple – but it is not poor and an attentive listener will hear a lot of gentle hints in it.
Did you happen to know that "troyistsi muzyky" are not necessarily exactly three musicians?
