Mykola Leontovych - Great Ectenia - DUMKA Choir - Ukraine - Basso Profundo
(Text below in English and Portuguese)
According to various sources, Easter, Passover and Ramadan overlap this weekend for the first time in 33 years. In times of much need for peace and renewal, SanCtuS shares a precious recording made in 2000, during times of peace, hope and prosperity in Kiev,
Ukraine. The music recorded brings to life the spiritual music by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych (1877-1922), set to the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom.
A passage of this Liturgy, enhanced by the hair-raising basso-profondo voice of Volodymyr Hrytsyuk, states: ”For peace in the world, for the good order of God’s holy churches and for the unity of all”. May the ecumenical spirit of Mykola Leontovych’s piece Velyka Ektenyia (Great Ectenia), beautifully performed by The National Academic Choir of the Ukraine “DUMKA”, under the direction of chorus-master Yevhen Savchuk,
permeate the world, today, and shed light and peace.
Excerpts in four languages of the 34-page booklet of the album For Your Spirit (SCS 023) are shared within the vídeo.
Happy Easter and joyous holidays to all!

De acordo com diversos fontes, a Páscoa cristã, a Páscoa judaica (Pessach) e Ramadã se sobrepõem neste fim de semana pela primeira vez em 33 anos. Em tempos de muita necessidade de paz e renovação, a SanCtuS compartilha uma preciosa
gravação realizada em 2000, em tempos de paz, esperança e prosperidade em Kiev, Ucrânia. A música gravada dá vida à música espiritual do compositor ucraniano Mykola Leontovych (1877-1922), baseada na Liturgia de São João Crisóstomo.
Uma passagem desta liturgia, enriquecida pela voz de baixo-profundo arrepiante de Volodymyr Hrytsyuk, afirma: “Pela paz no mundo, pela boa ordem das santas igrejas de Deus e pela unidade de todos”.

ELSIE HOUSTON sings "COCO DE MINHA TERRA" ( Biá-Tá-Tá) - by HEKEL TAVARES
SANCTUS HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK: ELSIE HOUSTON SINGS
BIÁ-TÁ-TÁ BY HEKEL TAVARES:
In 1941, Elsie Houston recorded for Victor several songs based on Brazilian folklore. 55 years later, SanCtuS Recordings was, to the best of our knowledge, the first label to release those songs on CD, remastered and enhanced with the audio restoration means of the mid 1990s. In order to share the precious legacy with a wider public, the album "Rare Recordings of Songs from Brazil, Russia and United States" (SCSH 004), includes an illustrated and informative booklet of 23 pages, in four languages (Portuguese, English, French and German), with sleeve-notes by Richard Gate, a freelance writer who wrote, amongst others, for the Classical Recordings Quarterly. The CD received excellent reviews.
Among the songs, Elsie Houston gives a charming interpretation of Hekel Tavares' "Coco de Minha Terra" (alternative title: "Biá-Tá-Tá"), which reflects folkloric traditions of the Northeastern states of Brazil, where the stomping steps of the "coco" dance and the refrain-verse format of the song evoke a mixture of African and indigenous Brazilian influences. Houston is accompanied bu Pablo Miguel on the piano. The lyrics are by Jorge d'Altavilla. More information on Elsie Houston is made available within the video.
For those who haven't yet subscribed to the SanCtuS YouTube channel we invite you to do so, in order not to miss the weekly postings which offer a broad musical and cultural journey, inspired on highlights from the SanCtuS Recordings' catalogue.
