12 Mar 08 - 12:29 AM (#2286000) Subject: RE: Ladarke From: rich-joy Thanks for that link to LADO, M.Ted! I had only ever heard this music from the LP "Folk Songs of Eastern Europe" by The Pennywhistlers (1965, Nonesuch label) - which I absolutely loved. The sleeve notes convey that it is a St John's Day ritual, concerning young maidens offering gifts to Lado, a pagan god of fertility (but of course!!) Anyway, beautiful to see and hear this. Cheers, R-J |

12 Mar 08 - 10:03 AM (#2286291) Subject: RE: Ladarke From: M.Ted The first Balkan vocal music that I was on those Pennywhistlers albums, and Lardarke made a special impression--years later, I was living in the SF Bay area and a housemate, who, unbeknownst to me, was in a large Balkan performing ensemble, had a party. They'd just staged this piece, and began singing and dancing bits from it, to my absolute amazement and delight(I subsequently joined the ensemble as a musician, but they didn't perform Ladarke while I was with them)-- And after many more years, I can suddenly see the piece performed by the original artists on the internet. which I never would have imagined! |
