Зiрвалася хyртовина (Zirvalasya khurtovyna)–Русский хор Йельського університету

Yale Russian Chorus: Zirvalasya khurtovyna (A Storm is Approaching), by Vasyl Vytvytsky (1905-1999), arranged by Alex Kuzma. The themes of this Ukrainian song are patriotism and familial love. The text is in the form of a dialogue between a mother and her son as he leaves for war. The depth of the mother’s anguish comes through in her final, plaintive question after her son has left. 65th Anniversary Concert by the Yale Russian Chorus and Alumni. Sunday, October 14, 2018, Woolsey Hall, Yale University. Alex Kuzma, Conductor.
