Songs Between the Worlds
From the CD's liner notes: "In Slavic folklore, Rusalki are powerful, enticing female entities who inhabit waters, forests and fields. Believed to be the restless spirits of women who died untimely or unjust deaths - such as brides who died on their wedding night; young mothers who perished during childbirth; unmarried women who committed suicide after being rejected by a lover, or female babies who were stillborn - Rusalki regulate human, animal and agricultural fertility; seasonal cycles, and the weather...

The rich folklore surrounding these mysterious and unpredictable nature-spirits was our inspiration for The Rusalka Cycle: Songs Between the Worlds, a contemporary vocal-theater project created by Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble; stage director Ellen Sebastian Chang and Ukrainian composer, vocalist, performance artist and song catcher Mariana Sadovska."
