Epilog Bonus Track 10. 300 Pushki Обладатели премии «Grammy» болгарский женский хор «Angelite» в совместном проекте с легендарной тувинской группой «Хуун-Хуур-Ту» и Moscow Art Trio (Михаил Альперин, Аркадий Шилклопер и Сергей Старостин) сделали немало замечательных записей, среди которых и альбом «Mountain Tale» (1998). After the first CD — Fly, Fly My Sadness with THE BULGARIAN VOICES ANGELITE, HUUN-HUUR-TU and SERGEY STAROSTIN was released in 1996, the complete MOSCOW ART TRIO directed by Mikhail Alperin joined the project raising the number of participating artists to twenty eight, The main goal of this unique experiment was to cross the borders between traditional and contemporary music, explore the similarities and differences between Russian, Bulgarian and Tuvan folk music and present the resulting unity to the listeners. Now that this project has been completed, I would like to broaden its concept to include the world music perspective, focusing not only on the folk traditions of the obove-mentioned areas, but also treating contemporary rythmical elements as equal partners to folk music. It was in this context that the Moscow Art Trio was invited to join the project. There is something mystical about the number "3". That is probably why there are so many trios in the world of music. When I first produced the MOSCOW ART TRIO in 1990 I was thinking of an ensemble consisting of three different roles, like a play with a cast of three different characters. Each member has his own mode of expression, but in the end everything comes together to form a musical organism with body, mind and spirit, To intensify this concept I conciously chose three musicians from three different backgrounds: classical, folk and jazz. The Tuvan-Bulgarian-Russian project is similarly inspired by the magic of the number "3". Each culture has its own wealth of musical tradition: strong emotion and spiritual beauty of the songs led me to dream of combining them without applying any modernizations, at least initially. Later in the development of the project I did allow myself to make riskier experiments by adding contemporary elements. I wrote some compositions in which traditional folk elements are not to be found, for I wrote them in the folk music style of my subjective perception — a new Skomorohi (Russian expression for a minstrel). In collaboration with Sergey Starostin I wrote some scat — words without meaning — for this music, not in the jazz but in folk style. This became a Norwegian-Russian folk rap, a special tune which we only perform live in concert with a folk text and Nordic intonations sung by Bulgarians and Russians together. (Norwegian folk music has been a further strong inspiration for me, initiated by my writing of arrangements for compositions by the Norwegian Tetlef Kvif- tes. ) The border between day and night defies determination but the difference between the two are clear. My experience has taught me the same about folk music: There are no borders between the different traditions and cultures but each of them exists in its own right and possesses individual tones and colours.

Thanks to all participants of the project for their musicality and great cooperation in the studio and Sasha Cheparukhine from Greenwave for the support. 1. MIDNIGHT TALE Soloists: Tanja Douparinova, Sonja lovkova, Sergey Starostin We rarely have a chance to experience two independent folk songs performed at the same time. This composition was born spontaneously during a rehearsal in the US. Two soloists of the choir had proposed a song as an idea for development. Snddenly Sergey Starostin begar to accompany it with a completely different song. It was amazing how organically it happened Even the lyrics in two different languages (Bulgarian and Russian) seemed to have one anc the same meaning. 2. SUNRISE Soloists: Tzetza Bekova, Tatiana Douparinova, Sonia Iovkova, Youlia Peneva, Nelka Petkova Nadia Vladimirova, Arkady Shilkloper, Sergey Starostin Arkady Shilkloper's technique of breathing into the French horn was the starting point fo this composition. The lyrics call forth a sense of vocal beauty and the amazing diversity o nature and sound. 3. EARLY MORNING WITH MY HORSE Soloists: Tzetza Bekova, Tatiana Douparinova, Sonia Iovkova, Youlia Peneva, Nelka Petkova Nadia Vladimirova; Huun Huur Tu Typically Tuyan. No explanation is needed … 4. NEW SKOMOROHI Soloists: Mikhail Alperin, Moscow Art Trio A song for the Moscow Art Trio and Angelite with Russian lyrics. Skomorohi, street musicians in ancient Russia, used to sing and play in the villages, encouraging the people to join them 5. SAD HARVEST Soloists:: Elka Simeonova, Stoimenka Outchikova, Mikhail Alperin The idea was to confront two different feelings, the nature of piano and contemporary music on one hand and a that of a folk song from Bulgaria on the other. 6. MOUNTAIN FAIRY-TALE Soloists: Tanja Douparinova, Kera Damianova, Sergey Starostin My wife used to travel to Valdres, a mountainous region of Norway where she sometimes helped to milk the cows. There is a special way of calling the cows, whtich has a long folk tradition in Norway: it sounds like "Ku-lokk". I was curious and learned this remarkable "ku- lokk" from my wife. Russian, Bulgarian and Tuvan songs are the remaining ingredients to this international potpourri. 7. DANCING VOICES Male voices: Hunn-Huur-Tu, Moscow Art Trio, Valentin Velkow; solo voice: Sergey Starostin Female voices: Tanja Douparinova, Sonja Iovkova This is an improvised composition which emerged in the studio. Everyone present, including the conductor, was taken by the idea of an ostinato pulsation flavoured with a kind of improvised Georgian solo by Sergey as well as a Bulgarian/Albanian feeling contributed by Tanja Duparinova. 8. GRAND FINALE Huun-Huur-Tu, Angelite, Moscow Art Trio; flute, vocals: Sergey Starostin I composed a grand finale for live concerts as a four part suite in which each group — Huun- HuurTu, Angelite and the Moscow Art Trio — could once again present itself and its individnality. I think of this as a festival of joy for our whole musical family. 9. EPILOG Often when 'the party's over' the mood suddenly turns sad, like rain on a sunny day. Yet this is only part of the natural cycle of life. 10. 300 PUSHKI (300 rifles) Angelite, Solo: Nelka Petkova, A folk song from the Thracian region telling of a young hero who gets killed. All comments to the songs by Mikhail Alperin except # 10 by Tanja Andreeva "It is the strangeness that puts you in the ban, it is the strangeness of the voices, the sounds, the message. You don´t know the meaning of the words, but you listened and will be fascinated." Die Zeit/Germany, 16.8.1996 "The soaring, strident heights of Bulgarian song and the creaking depths of the Tuvan throat couldn't be more different — but when they joined, it was amazing — redemptive, divine." Music Express, 12.12.1997 "Alperin deserves gratitude for putting these riches together so well." Los Angeles Times, 13.1.1998 Авторы:
