Songs from Georgia
Golden Fleece
Temporarily Unavailable

Unique because of its sound qualities, melodies, harmonies, polyphony and modes, Georgian music was declared by the famous Russian composer Igor Stravinsky to be one of the most powerful impressions in his life - and that the spontaneous creativity of Georgian singers to be
a stimulus for the development of modern Western music.

The largely a capella Georgian songs accompany the most important moments of a villager's life: birth, the naming of a child, wedding ceremonies, work in the fields and at home, religious festivals and secular celebrations, death and burial, illness and everyday life.

The Australian vocal ensemble Golden Fleece is proud to collect, teach and research Georgian music and here paints a vivid portrait of a rich cultural heritage.
