#Kalinka
The song "Kalinka" was written in 1860 by I. Larionov (1830-1889). The popularity of the song began with its performance by the "Slavianskaia Kapella" choir, founded in 1862 by D. Agrenev-Slavyansky. And the song became world famous in the arrangement of A. Alexandrov (1883-1946), thanks to the performance of "Kalinka" abroad by the Alexandrov ensemble. Often the song is perceived as folk.
The song describes the unique and inimitable state of the mysterious soul of the Russian people. Here dance rhythmicity is compared with a gloriously lyrical melody, and sweet raspberries with bitter viburnum. From the beginning to the end of the song, the words are filled with boundless joy and deep love for everything that is valuable for each of us.
📌 Lyrics:
Oh, my snowball tree,
In the garden, berries are growing on my raspberry
bush!
Underneath the green pine tree,
Lay me down to sleep.
Oh, my snowball tree,
In the garden, berries are growing on my raspberry
bush!
Oh, my beauty, my fair one,
Give me your love!
Oh, my snowball tree,
In the garden, berries are growing on my raspberry
bush!
Dear pine tree, green pine tree,
Do not rustle above me!
Oh, my snowball tree,
In the garden, berries are growing on my raspberry
bush!

Welcome to our channel!
The Yale Russian Chorus is the oldest singing group in the New World dedicated to the music of Russia and nearby countries. The YRC was founded 1953 at the height of the Cold War. Founders: Denis Mickiewicz and George Litton.
Singers join while students at Yale, and many stay active throughout their lives. Every year or so we hold a major concert in which students and alumni sing together. Many alumni also join the students on tours to Russia.
Without a doubt, each of us had our own motivation to join the Russian choir. But we offer you a quote from one of the members of our choir, which unites us to some extent and explains a little the meaning of the choir in our lives: "Singing the music of the YRC in the style we sang it, was an antidote to the intellectualism that got many of us into Yale in the first place, but that could be so restrictive to the heart and spirit".
The singers are not Russians, or emigrants from Russia, but are students and former students who share a passion for the music and a belief in the power of music to build connections between people of different countries.
Thanks to KZitem, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music.
