Recorded in Moscow and New York in 1987, it was the first album of original music created by Americans and Russians together. The Consort interwove western harmonies and Afro-Brazilian rhythms with the Pokrovsky Ensemble’s circle songs and chants, resulting in an energetic, reverberating layering of sound. The Ensemble is dedicated to preserving ancient Russian village music. Established in 1974, the Pokrovsky Ensemble spent many years in the underground of Soviet culture, and then emerged as one of the most popular vocal groups in Russia. The Consort met the Pokrovsky Ensemble during a tour of the Soviet Union in September 1986, when they performed together a concert at Moscow University. The two groups felt an immediate kinship, and, through interpreters, talked enthusiastically about creating new music together. Paul sought permission from Melodiya, the Soviet state record company, which agreed to a co-production. In March, 1987, the Consort returned to Moscow to begin writing and recording. Immersing themselves in the songs, the Consort improvised new melodies in counterpoint and added various percussion instruments in accompaniment. Gradually new layers of music began to grow, integrating Western harmonies and Afro-Brazilian rhythms with the Pokrovsky Ensemble’s ancient circle songs and chants. • ℗ 1987 Earth Music Productions • Stream: https://orcd.co/82dpmp8 • Download: https://paulwinter.bandcamp.com/album... • Website: www.paulwinter.com
