A Ukrainian Wedding featured in the San Francisco Classical Voice Year-End Recording Roundup!

Ukrainian American folklorist and singer Nadia Tarnawsky leads the women of Cappella Romana with special guest folklorists from Ukraine to perform this unique offering of Ukrainian wedding songs. The songs sung in preparation for the wedding employ the vocal techniques of village singers, while the chants and choral works sung during the wedding ceremony itself reflect the sublime style more prevalent in church singing. From engagement through marriage, the rituals of a traditional Ukrainian wedding are accompanied by songs that help bring forth good health, prosperity, and many children.
