Kitka presents: Tanya Teodorovich and Kostroma’s Wintersongs Offering
Siberia-born Russian folklore specialist Tanya Teodorovich leads Kostroma, the vocal ensemble of Silicon Valley’s Russian House Kedry. Kitka has enjoyed many collaborations with Kedry’s families, especially seasonal celebrations at Metini/Fort Ross State Historic Park on the breathtakingly beautiful Sonoma Coastline of Northern California. Fort Ross was established in 1812 by the Russian American company with the assistance of Alaskan Alutiiq natives on Kashaya Pomo land.
KAK NA RECKE NA JORDANE (BY THE RIVER JORDAN)
From the repertoire of Ukrainian settlers in the Novosibersk Region of Russia
By the River Jordan…
Generous evening! Good evening, good people!
This blessed evening, we wish you health!
There Mother Mary washed a robe
She hung the robe
On the snowball bush, the raspberry bush
Down flew all the angels
And they took up the robe on their wings
They raised the robe up to heaven
All heavens gates opened
And all the saints came out
Performed by Kostroma: Tanya Teodorovich, Natalia Bondar, Irina Zhoukova-Petrova, Leysan Fatykhova-Villasenor, Olga Kireeva, and Ksenia Kruglova
Recorded on the album Rozdestvenskaja Drama VERTEP (Russki Dom Kedry)
