From back cover:
'Once Nikolai Gogol remarked that "the Ukrainian literally rings with songs". Indeed songs are everywhere in the Ukraine: on the boundless fields and in the blossoming gardens; their enchanting melodies are floating over the Dnieper and it seems that the voice of a human soul filled with infinite love for the fatherland is heard in them. "Ukrainian songs and poetry are one of the most charming and exquisitely-wrought branches on the tree of world culture", - wrote Anatoly Lunacharsky, an eminent cultural worker and statesmen.
And let us not forget about dances: Hopak, Kazachok, Marina - what a wealth of fantasy, sparkling humoir, plasticity and beauty.
We find all these qualities in the performances of the Veryovka Ukrainian Folk Choir whose present art director is Anatoly Avdievsky, a Merited Art Worker of the Ukrainian SSR and Shevchenko prize laureate. Over a quarter of a century this Choir has been carrying a ringing fame of the Ukrainian people around the world.
The Ukrainian Folk Choir was born at the time when German fascists trampled our sacred land crushing our national culture. Its birth date is September 11, 1943. Its birthplace is Kharkov, recently liberated from the fascists.
The task of organizing and coaching a national choir was entrusted to Grigori Veryovka, a famous Ukrainian composer and choir conductor. That was a Herculean job. But already a year later, in 1944, having moved to the liberated Kiev, the Choir found its own language of songs, music and dance.
Since that time the Choir had performed in many Ukrainian towns and villages, toured other republics of the USSR, had demonstrated its art in Poland, Rumania, GDR, Yugoslavia, Korea, Luxemburg, Finland, Belgium, and FRG. Everywhere the press was unanimous in praising its performances.
The Choir was made up of former collective farmers and workers, whoa had no special music training, but they worked and studied with persistency, mastering the art of choral singing, music, and dances.
Anatoly Timofeyevich Avdievsky - the art director and chief conductor of the Choir is deeply in love with folk songs, music and dances and is endowed with a subtle musical feeling, hence the inimitable features of the Choir's style, the variety and the fresh hues. The Choir's singing is emotional, original and deeply national in character.
One thing deserves special mention, namely: the Choir's "a cappella" performances. The tradition of choral singing without accompaniment is not a new feature in Ukrainian folk singing but dates back well over the centuries. And it is not by chance that folk polyphonic singing had been preserved to this day.
The repertoire of the Choir includes folk and modern composers' songs, vocal and choreographic scenes and national dances.
Much attention is given to the development of professional technique and perception of the underlying idea of the musical pieces. The result is a performance which is truly astounding.
"The beauty of the Ukrainian ensemble's choral singing defies all expressions!" "The performances of the Ukrainian folk choir is the central event of the year", those were the comments of Mexican and Canadian newspapers during the Choir's tour and Montreal "EXPO-67" performances.
Constant success accompanies the performances of the Choir's soloists: Vassily Zavgorodny, Valentina Khitsenko, Nina Mantvienko - a talented singer from Polesye, Valentina Cherkun, Yevgeni Bobrovnikov, the sopilka player, etc.
The orchestra of Urkainian folk instruments is directed by Stanislav Pavlyuchenko, Kiev Conservatoire graduate, a Merited Artist of the Ukrainian SSR.
The Choir's further plans include a cycle of ritual songs entitled "The Seaons", comprising spring, marriage, etc., songs, series of songs interpreted for the choir by modern composers M. Leontovich, K. Stetsenko, P. Kozitsky, V. Stupinsky. They also plan a programme for children consisting of spring songs and other Ukrainian folk choral pieces.'

VIVA UCRANIA!!
Найкращий Український народний хор ім. Г. Верьовки! Гарні пісні!
My late father and I used to listen to this recording and others like it when I was growing up. The beauty of the music, the sensitivity of expression, and elegant arrangements taught me how to wrtie choral music when I didn't even realize it. I was blessed by this music then, now, and hopefully to the end of this life.
The late Anatoly Avdievsky was the magician artistic director of H. Veryovka choir. The soloist Nina Matvienko remains in my mind as the best ever star of Ukrainian folk songs. Remember the magnificent performances of this choir as the best moments of my life in the second half of the past century.
As a child I remember being blown away by the music of a travelling childrens choir singing Ukrainian Folk songs to raise funds for the children suffering the effects of the Chernobyl disaster. I forgot how much their songs captured my heart and now I remember. Love and honour is due to Ukraine, their wonderful nation, their culture and their songs, forever, Naviky Slava!
My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦
Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!💛💙
Slava Ukraini!
... Solidarität mit der Ukraine - Gott sei mit ihr und mit uns ... !
A soothing balm to my aching heart. Milī sveicieni no Latvij 🇱🇻❤️🇺🇦
Love the lyrics. The girl in the song has some attitude!
Very nice and powerfull songs.
With #Ucraina today from Romania.
listened 40 years ago, still beautiful
Magnifique 🇺🇦😍
The sheer beauty of this moves the listener to tears.
Thanks a lot! The craklings on this record sound so nostalgic, just like in my childhood. Дякую!
Нема за що! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. 🙂
Though i do not know the meaning of these fine, beautifully arranged and performed Ukrainian songs, i absolutely love them. To me they express a distinct culture, surviving through the Soviet attempt to homogenise - "Russify" the countries within their empire.
Many thanks to whoever put this lovely old LP on UA-cam, as well as to otherrs who've brought us up to date with current Ukrainian music in response to Putin's 9 year attempt at cultural as well as national genocide. Paul McGilvray
Enjoy listening from Japan
Wonderful! Thank you.
this is so beautiful...
stay with all of you, our heart are broken...
SO BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💛💙 🇺🇦 heroyam Slava🇺🇦💛💙 🇺🇦 ; ),
I think Putin has no conscience or compassion at all - how cruel he is. Praying for Ukraine and also for Russian soldiers who have been lied to. May God's vengence prevail!
He will burn in hell for this
Well said, glory to Ukraine
Slava Ukraini
21:00 I like it 💛💙
La música de Ukrania es mucho más misteriosa, y obscura y triste que la rusa. Es maravillosa. Un abrazo.
Слава Україні , Слава героям!!!
Thank you so much for this marvel
@@Damnddc56 Thank you Marianna!! All of them, to be honest xD But if I had to choose, I'd say primarily:
- Nº1 00:00 Oh, I'm so pretty
- Nº2 02:47 A small willow board
- Nº5 11:29 The barrow by the Volga
- Nº6 15:41 My field
- Nº7 17:00 Grey geese. Ducklings-goslings (which, btw, I find strangely reminiscent of this one: Ikue Asazaki - Obokuri-Eeumi ua-cam.com/video/IFWS3cfz7OE/v-deo.html)
- Nº10 20:53 Oh, the rustling in the oak grove (or is it?)
- Nº11 (or is it 12??) 26:25 Our field lies vast (??)
I have a doubt as to the numbers of the songs @ 20:53 and 26:25. I don't speak a word of Ukrainian, so I'm kind of navigating blind here. Hope you can still find your way among these indications. Thank you so much for your help! :)
Just came across this recording and love it! I wonder if one can still buy this record. Beautiful music.
I think I found this one in a $1 bin at a book and music sale somewhere along the way, so you never know! It depends on where you live, but here in Western Canada we have a large Ukrainian population so there's a good number of these old records still floating around.
Slava Ukrajine !!!
greeting from china
Hello! 👋
@@dystyn2010 hey mate，good music ，great culture
@@stanzhang4915 Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoy it.
The song "a plank of willow wood" was taken down from a channel that posted just that song, so I'm afraid this entire album will be lost as well 😞
Hopefully not! 🤞
@@dystyn2010 It has been four months now, yet nothing happened. There must be a reason they consider this legit. Perhaps because the SU back then refused to honor IP rights...
💙💛
Слава Україні!
Praying for all civilians in every nation across the globe. Our leaders seem dead set on World War 3. May you all survive. Now is the time to be strong
Тарас Шевченко писав, що народна пісня порадить, розрадить, скаже правду. Пісні завжди чіпали мене за душу, я в них закохана на все життя!!!!
Where can I buy this cd?I must have it.
This is actually an old vinyl record from the USSR that I found, so I doubt there are any copies available for sale today! The Veryovka choir is still around, though, so you can try reaching out to them directly through their website at veryovka.com/en , or try online marketplace such as Discogs.com and eBay. Good luck!
Mervelleuse! Glorie a Ukraine!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵🌻🌻🌻🌻
