26 Apr 04 - 07:39 PM (#1171768) Subject: RE: yodel-ay-ee-oooo From: Gray D Can't resist it . . . there's a type of yodelling from Georgia, Eastern Europe, that's called "Krimanchuli". It's rather more aggressive than the U.S. or Tyrolean versions and it's tricky because it's not in a western scale . . . but I like it. Had to learn it by ear though as it's not in any books, as far as I know. Though it might be in "99 Georgian Songs" pub. by Black Mountain Press, but I'm not sure 'cos I haven't received my copy yet. Ohh del i ya heee ya delo eeyah ohhhhhhhhhhhh - yohhhhhhhhhhhh! (Naduri) Gray D |

27 Apr 04 - 03:41 PM (#1172573) Subject: RE: yodel-ay-ee-oooo From: Gray D Joe Offer, There's a majestic version of "Naduri", a work song, on the Rustavi Choir's CD "Mirangula" - Sony St. Petersburg Classics label - SMK 66 588. The Krimanchuli is just after the start and you may get a feel of the Georgian scale by the fact that the top notes sound slightly "off" to the western ear - if, of course, western ears are what you have. Though my teacher, Edischer, thought that the Rustavi's were "westernising" their sound somewhat on their recordings. . . . it's followed by a spine tingling version of the gorgeous "Tsintskaro" as well . . . and then there's"Daigvianes" . . . and "Chela" . . . and "Mirangula" itself . . . erm, it's a good album.

27 Apr 04 - 03:55 PM (#1172588) Subject: RE: yodel-ay-ee-oooo From: Gray D But the best way to experience Georgian music is of course, to learn and sing it, preferably with Georgians if you want to learn Krimanchuli. I assume that you're in the U.S. so Larry Gordon or Patty Kuyler(spelling? Sorry, Patty) at Northern Harmony might be able to point you in the right direction if you wanted to give it a try. People in the U.K. should get in touch with Michael Bloom (MichaelBloom1@compuserve.com)who does a tremendous job of promoting things Georgian over here. Apologies for the thread drift, everyone.
