#VyotsaSizyDym
"Vyotsa sizyy dym" (Grey Smoke is Rising) is a Cossack song that tells the story of times of battles, when Cossacks had to defend their home, their stanitsa (village) from the advancing enemies, showing valor, courage and bravery.
The songs of the Cossacks (military, historical, marching) are of considerable historical and cultural importance. They, like chronicles, preserve the memory of battles and campaigns of the past years. Meanwhile, the main thing in Cossack military folklore is not the events themselves (campaigns, assaults, battles), but the feelings and moods of the heroes of the songs, their view of what is happening.
In Cossack military and marching songs, both music and words clearly reflect the essence of the Cossack himself, as a representative of the military estate, most of whose life is spent in campaigns and battles. They reflect the Cossack spirit, the military life and the rugged fighting order of the Cossacks, whose ideals were filial love for their Motherland, military brotherhood, courage and will. This is what the Cossacks sang about in their long and difficult campaigns-the campaign, the battle, the separation from their parents and loved ones.
📌 Lyrics:
The gray smoke rises.
You are my village.
We will not surrender you,
Fiercely will we battle!
A multitude of enemies crawls up.
We will pour forward in our battle line.
And the slain Cossacks
We will sing off in glory.
The gray smoke rises.
You are my village.
We will not surrender you,
Fiercely will we battle!

Friends, 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.

We have toured Russia and Eastern Europe many times, and we really hope that we will be able to hit the road again when the time comes 🌿
