I love this choral video Розпрягайте, хлопцi, конi

[Wolodymyr]

If you feel the same way about choral music as I do, you will love this.
I think that if I ever feel down, this will lift my spirit.

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful choral piece here. I don't speak Ukrainian, but it brought a smile to my husbands face. Wonderful voices singing with great enthusiasm and joy.

I forgot to add that my Ukrainian language skills are very poor, but the beauty and intensity of the music shines through anyway. My family (in the Ukraine) had a choral background, as my paternal grandfather was a choirmaster, and his youngest son, my uncle Kostya after him. I have always loved choral music, and as a schoolboy was in church choirs, and in the chorus to Bach's Passion in Lichfield cathedral (UK).
However after my voice broke, I have a similar voice to my dad. As an example of what I mean, he says that grandfather often conducted the family in song, and he remembers once being led away from the group by his ear for singing not so tunefully.
Here is a picture of my uncle with his choir circa 1962.

The photo is really nice!
I find the choral music one of the best musical expression: many voices together which contribute to the same harmonious melody. A choir is one voice compound by many voices, and each voice is a piece of the whole. And Eastern music and choirs are something really touching and fascinating. Music is really cultivated there, and was and is part of everybody’s life.
I hope they will keep on this tradition!
