Choir Group Of the Award Winning Song and Dance Folk Ensemble of Ukraine "Darnychanka". Let's unite, beloved family.

This group is already 43 years old. It has made a good showing not only in Ukraine, but also nearly all over Europe. It is not surprising that the repertoire of this ensemble is various. Here you can find lyrical and playful songs, the songs of Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, the songs of the times of the Second World War, as well as other songs – they have found time for everything and they perform everything at the highest level. I would also like to mention now that this ensemble is not a chamber one, there are many people in it (only at the photo you can see more than 30 members), and this fact speaks by itself. Large-scale performance should be expected from them, so to say, performance in a big way, so that walls shake and leaves fall down from the trees. Such kind of expectations justifies themselves – there is a powerful force and a broad space in the singing of the choir. If you listen to this album in a small room, I recommend you to open the window – otherwise it might be too tight. As for me, these songs performed in such a manner are associated with fancy-dress dances on a big stage – still, if you want to see them, you need more than audio recording. Well, we have, what we have – thanks a lot even for that.

Choir "Soli Deo". Spivaje "Soli Deo". (Soli Deo singing)


This is a really good album, and we are glad that we can present it here. But – NOTE! – unfortunately, the first two tracks have manufacture defects. Therefore, one cannot buy this release from us – but you can get it as a present, as a free bonus to accompany any order..

Vydubychi Church Chorus. Golden Melodies. Ukrainian folk songs. /cassette/.


Audio cassette/ .."Vydubychi" is a church choir, that is why exactly church music usually makes up their repertoire. But at this disc you will hear Ukrainian folk songs performed by this choir.
Domestic price: 152.60UAH, International price: $10.90USD

Chorus named G. Veryovka. Verbovaja doshchechka. /digi-pack/. (Willow Plank)


As I have an acquaintance who works at the airport, I can confidently say: when flying away from Ukraine, people search for discs by exactly this Ukrainian collective, in fact, more frequently than any other ones. Whatever you might say, the National Choir named after G.Veryovka is a real, bright, original legend. Living.

Masterpieces of Choral Singing. Conducted by Pavlo Muravsky. Golden Collection.


...the mastery performance of these choirs can be compared with academic examples of the world choir music – in particular, thanks exactly to Muravskyi...

Ukrainian folk ensemble "Berehynia". (2CD).


"Berehynya" is not simply an ensemble; this is the theatre of the Ukrainian folklore.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Vydubychi Church Chorus. Golden Melodies. Ukrainian folk songs.


...these songs at this disc sound somehow strictly, greatly, spiritually in that sense which is meant in connection with the church singing. Natural melodiousness of both Ukrainian language and, as they say, people’s soul is quite evident for everybody who listens to Ukrainian song...
Domestic price: 278.60UAH, International price: $19.90USD

Halych Chamber Choir "Yevshan". Fol'klorna skrynja.


Here usual Ukrainian songs sound as spiritual ones, though they seem to have nothing to do with the church. So then, here a song as it is acquires a new quality and a new content – to be exact, an old and almost forgotten content.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

27 січня 2010 р. у Київському будинку вчителя увідбувся звітний концерт заслуженого народного ансамблю пісні і танцю України "ДАРНИЧАНКА". Це диво! Це феєрверк! Вже вкотре і вкотре закохуюсь у цей улюблений колектив, висловлюю величезну подяку по-перше керівникові ансамблю професору Андрійчуку Петру Олександровичу, а також усім його учасникам. Здоров"я вам, натхнення, благополуччя, миру, любові до життя, до украінської пісні, украінської культури, украінського народу. А народ вас любить - і це було показано на концерті (АНШЛАГ)- на перших акордах "Ой, боже, боже, зглянься на нас" зал встав і на одному диханні прослухав цю композицію, зірвавши укінці зал бурхливими оплесками, як і кожну наступну пісню на протязі двох годин (які промайнули доречі як дві хвилини). Низький Вам уклін і ПОДЯКА. vesta56@ukr.net

I was waiting for this Cd for a long time! I was very pleased to listen to various kinds of songs,especially from the Second World War(in Ukraine)! Each one has to listen to those songs!

It's a pleasure to finally get back to the true Ukrainian roots. We seemed to have forgotten lately what our musical heritage is based on. Listening to these songs brought memories back to when I was little and my parents played LP records of their native land. I will certainly pass these songs along to my grandchildren lest they forget what real Ukrainian music stems from. I am looking forward to more of this type of music on your site.

I have listened to this cd while driving to work and at home while working.It draws out such strong emotion and cultural pride that one needs to stop and just listen,to be swept away by the harmonies,to feel the mood and become one of those in the audiance of some vast theatre,to become one of the 'family'.(please don't try this while driving,it could be fatal.)Definitely will be getting more of this ensemble.Shame that they have not as yet produced a combination cd/dvd with the dancers included.

This CD is filled with glorious folk melodies. A fitting title 'Lets unite, dear family!' I'm a big fan of Ukrainian folk choirs and the Darnychanka Ensemble are no exception. My favourites, 'Lysty', Jihav kozak z hory ta v bajrak'. Oj melnyku, melnychenku'. But they are engaging songs sung with the highest folk professionalism. I kindly ask for more CD's of folk choral singing, say from Veryovka, Volyn Song and Dance Company, Ljonok and others. Bravo!

Thank you for wonderful site that helps us, ukrainians-immigrants, to listen the voice of native land - Ukraine. Unfortunately, I couldn't find (and order) the songs of Gregory Veriovka's Chorus. And amather's folk essemble "Ridni Naspivy" (that is named "the little Veriovka's chorus") from Kyiv Region (Jagotyn) also.

What a glorious blend of harmony and lyrics! My favourite is number 2, Oy Bozhe Bozhe hlansya na nas!. It captures the plea of all humanity for god's intercession and support. Definietly not to be missed!
