How to learn the alto part

  1. 01 · Your part

    Hear your part on its own until the tune of it is in your ear.

  2. 02 · With the others

    Hear it with the others, so you know where it sits in the chord.

  3. 03 · Sing it

    Sing it with the others under you and watch each note light up as you land it. The mic listens only while it plays, and nothing is recorded.

About Shchedryk

Words: traditional Ukrainian shchedrivka (New Year song)

Tune: traditional Ukrainian folk melody

Shchedryk is a traditional Ukrainian shchedrivka, a New Year well-wishing song, in which a swallow flies into a household and tells the family how rich their coming year will be. It is built on one short four-note figure that keeps repeating while the other voices build around it. Mykola Leontovych made a famous choral setting of it in 1916; ours is a new arrangement of the folk tune and does not use his. Sung in Ukrainian by 2 to 4 singers, it builds part by part: the soprano starts alone, the alto joins, then the bass and the tenor ring slowly underneath.
