Moira Smiley & VOCO: small worlds (CD)

Be the first to review this product

From the liner notes:
"Ten songs guided by Béla Bartók, communal singing, twilight introspection, crooked music from mountains, childhood discovery, collecting and improvisation. This is physical theater of four voices, cello, accordion, banjo, and body percussion.
These are original and traditional songs written and chosen for their full, emotional way with voices in harmony. Hungarian composer/ethnographer Béla Bartók's last six "Mikrokosmos" piano miniatures are Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. In the spirit of Bartók's creativity and deep study of folk songs, VOCO brings together arrangements of rural songs from Bulgaria and Hungary with Moira's originals and music based on the themes of Bartók."
