JoLang Reaction to “Cranes“ performed by the choir of the Sretensky Monastery

Hello, JoLang is here again, and today I want to introduce you to the Song “Cranes“ performed by the choir of the Sretensky Monastery. I always ask myself the question: Why do I enjoy listening choral sound so much, it’s not enough to just say, they are so talented vocalists and together it’s sounds so great, no they can have all the vocal talent in the world but if they don’t have musicality in what they are doing, it just falls flat. One of the reasons this choir is so good is because their technique is impeccable. So I’m so excited to listen, to learn, analyze and react. It’s always interesting to see how the technique helps the artistry and the artistry helps the technique. One thing that’s really nice and I look for this a lot in a good ensemble is, how is the rest of the choir matching with the soloist! But this is a really tight, really together choir. But I don’t want to get too technical here, the song gets under everyone’s skin, even without it. Let’s hug and love each other and listen to this fantastic choir. As Mikhail sings the lines - They did not die on our land, but they turned into white cranes - Then an oppressive silence sets in, you can feel the general tension in the hall, It’s coming through the screen, like I can just almost grab it. The audience holds their breath, their thoughts return to a painful time, that must never be repeated again. And the only person, who can prevent a repeat, is sitting in the front row in the auditorium. Thank you for sharing this painful song with me, and thanks again to all who commented on my posts. By, By, see you soon, JoLang #johann_langgartner #jolang_aut Soloist - Mikhail Miller Mark Bernes, Jan Frenkel (music), Rasul Gamzatov (lyrics) Марк Бернес, Ян Френкель (музыка), Расул Гамзатов (слова) ▬ Video from channel: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ MOSCOW INTERNATIONAL PERFORMING ARTS CENTER @moscowinternationalperform3008 ▬ Original Video: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
