about

Lituanian polyphonic chants (sutartinės) about Bees.
PURE SOUND IN NATURE. Recorded at the Historical Beekeeping Museum in Stripeikiai, Ignalina District, Lituania.

Sutartinės - a multipart chanting tradition is the very unique, most archaic layer of Lituanian folklore, inscribed in UNESCO list of preserved heritage. Group Trys Keturiose (Three in Four), led by famous ethnomusicologist Prof. Dr. Daiva Vyčinienė, are the best known highest level sutartinės performers, researching this ancient tradition for many years. Their project "Bitela" was dedicated to certain type of sutartinės - songs about bees, which are sacred beings in Lituanian traditional culture, symbols of harmony and wealth.

Album recordings were made in natural outdoor environment, keeping all surrounding sounds of birds, bugs, trees, etc. and giving the listener most authentic feeling and magic of sutartinės. Therefore "Bitela" marked a new stage in folklore recording and perception.

Album CD and digital download includes a booklet with comprehensive descriptions of beekeeping traditions and polyphonic folklore phenomenon in Lituania.
