This stunning twenty-four voice choir perform Orthodox chants at the Bath Abbey during the Bath International Music Festival in 2008

I fell in love with the female Bulgarian choir when I heard it for the first time in the video about the upcoming game called Alone in the Dark (2008). I thought it's African female choir, because it's high vocals sounded very exotic.
I was able to play the game after few years and then then I realised what kind of choir it was. And it was AMAZING! I love it since then! I also realised what is that airy vocal on the background in Freedom Fighters...
Few years after Thomas released Starvation that stunned me with it's amazing dark and exotic tone. It took me few (or even more) years to find the actual lyrics. I knew they have nothing to do with the starvation theme (Thomas used two songs performed by Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares), but now I realised they are also so edited they don't make sense at all. Well, it's still my favorite track by TSFH.
It's 2018 now and TSFH released even more music with Bulgarian choirs (Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares and Cosmic Voices) and soloists (Vladislava Vasileva and Elitsa Todorova), so I decided to create a compilation. Enjoy!

------------------

The Bulgarian choir waves its magic. They produce sounds of the most peculiar vocal timbre, almost as if it was not produced by the human vocal apparatus at all but by an instrument from some foreign corner of the world. They glissando, shout and embellish,
combine crazy rhythms, stack their voices to form audacious chords. And suddenly the folklore clich... cracks. Archaic sound-worlds from far-distant times are what one listener thinks he has heard, another a - marriage of avant-garde and the medieval. Both are talking about the same unique choir of twenty women: The Bulgarian Voices - Angelite.

NEW CD: »ANGELINA« JARO 4310-2
The album presents an opportunity for professional ethno-music speculations and analysis but the main idea is to share with the listeners the pleasure of the music. Each song brings its own touch or colour to the kaleidoscopic picture, which reveals the musical atmosphere and temperament of the Bulgarian folklore. The variety of performances highlights the remarkable singing qualities of the 20 singers -- a polyphonic instrument in the hands of their conductor and soloists -- successors
of ancient art of singing. One of the unifying musical elements in this project is the rhythm. The Bulgarian folkmusic is famous for the abundance of irregular, asymmetric measures -- dubbed by Bela Bartok the "Bulgarian rhythm".

Many of the songs on the album are built on such a meter and rhythm base. The sound of the drum in Bulgaria is a symbol of the feast and of dancing horo (round chain dance). We can hear it in some of the authors' arrangements, performed by one of the best Bulgarian percussionists -- Stoyan Yankulov.

In the mosaic structure of the program cohabit contrasting in their characteristics -- solo, choral and in some of them instrumental accompaniment. The folklore, ancient and modern, is present with elegant balance between tradition and modern approach. Choir and soloists pursue strictly the respective region, local style and musical dialects. They recreate the patterns of the old musical folklore in a mode close to the old traditions from the different regions.

A musical surprise in this album is a song taken from the folklore of an ethnic group Karakachani (nomad mountain shepherds) who live for ages in Bulgaria. The singer, performing the song is one of them by birth.The traditional melody is harmonized by instrumental accompaniment. The compositions of Zdravko Manolov "Tapan bie" and Georgi Petkov "Ochi, ochi", "Gaidine sviriat", show the individual approach of the authors of closeness or remoteness to the original traditional song. "Erke, mori, Erke" - a traditional song from the Shope region is arranged by Georgy Petkov into multi-voice choral version with perceptible Shope discordance. The drums emphasize complex rhythmic formulas and fragmentation into irregular measure of 12/16.

Within the wealth of colors in the program, two songs stand out for their styles -- they are the works of Theodosii Spassov, recognized as the best kaval player in the world. His two songs in the program, written specially for this project, reflect his view of the world -- concentrated, playful, noble, heart-felt and natural.

The remarkable Bulgarian composer Ivan Spassov uses in his compositions aleatory technique with overlapped polyphonic patterns.
Creatively developed, from the roots of the traditional song "Leilinko, kuzum pilianze" springs a creatively developed musical work with free, irregular harmony and soft sonority. This is one of the last songs of Ivan Spassov, written at the end of his path of life, specifically for The Bulgarian Voices - Angelite. The music reveals the philosophy of the author relating to the universe and eternity.

The last song of the album is the end of a journey, which starts in the distant past and ends in our days. A journey in which one can experience the power of the folk art, feel the bond between generations and learn about the millenary Bulgarian music history.
