Wintersongs
(Kitka, 2004), 52 mins
Kitka's popular wintersong concert forms the basis of this album of ancient seasonal songs from Eastern Europe. The ensemble's layered, richly harmonic sounds lends itself perfectly to the Carol of the Bells (""Shchedrik," track 17) and there are several a cappella tracks like "Shen Khar Venakhi," "Otche Nash" an...

The ensemble's layered, richly harmonic sounds lends itself perfectly to the Carol of the Bells (""Shchedrik," track 17) and there are several a cappella tracks like "Shen Khar Venakhi," "Otche Nash" and "Dontojno Jest" that are so profoundly beautiful and peaceful that you'll want to play them over and over again.

Kitka's popular wintersong concert forms the basis of this album of ancient seasonal songs from Eastern Europe. The ensemble's layered, richly harmonic sounds lends itself perfectly to the Carol of the Bells (""Shchedrik," track 17) and there are several a cappella tracks like "Shen Khar Venakhi," "Otche Nash" and "Dontojno Jest" that are so profoundly beautiful and peaceful that you'll want to play them over and over again. This is one of those albums where we'd definitely recommend purchasing the highest quality audio files (WAVs) over MP3s so that you can really hear all the incredible layering in the arrangments and performances. They take longer to download, but in this case?it's completely worth it.
Kitka has been featured on A Prairie Home Companion, Performance Today, Crossroads, John Schaeffer's New Sounds, Hearts of Space, Harmonia, and the Putumayo World Music Hour. Accompanying Kitka on this album are guest artists Rumen Shopov on tambura and bouzouki, Peter Maund on percussion, and Dan Cantrell on accordion. The Kitka singers also accompany themselves on bells, percussion, violin, flute, and tamburas.
