- Shen Khar Venakhi (შენ ხარ ვენახი) - You Are a Vineyard. Virtual chorus by the Yale Russian Chorus and the Kartuli Ensemble, presented at the 10th Anniversary International Symposium on Traditional Polyphony, Tbilisi, Georgia.
Tbilisi, Georgia, October 24, 2020.
The Yale Russian Chorus first heard and learned this Kartli-Kakhetian (East Georgian) setting from the Georgian State Performing Ensemble in 1968, when the two groups met by chance while touring in Budapest.
Dedicated to the memory of Leo Earl «Jay» Longan, our brother in song.
Dedicated also to our spouses. As the hymn text says: "no one is more worthy of praise (vervina gjobs kebuli)".
#VirtualChorus
The virtual choir consists of students and alumni of Yale University.
Conductor: Carl Linich.
Producer: Lewis Johnson.
Editor: Emma Kazaryan.
🎶 This song and the entire album "Mnogaya L'eta: 65 Years of the Yale Russian Chorus" are available for listening on any streaming platforms: band.link/Gtnqu
#ShenKharVenakhi
Shen Khar Venakhi (You are a Vineyard) is a medieval Georgian hymn. The text is attributed to King Demetrius I of Georgia (1093-1156). The composer of the music is unknown. Supposedly Demetrius I wrote it during his confinement as a monk in the David Gareja Monastery. The hymn is dedicated to Georgia and the patronage of the Virgin Mary; it is also a prayer of praise to Mary in the Georgian Orthodox Church.
The hymn is very popular in modern Georgia, is included in the repertoire of almost all folklore ensembles, and can also be performed simply in company without any connection with church dates or events.
As the lyrics did not mention any saints or gods, this was the only church-song that was permitted to be performed in the anti-religious Soviet Union. The hymn could be interpreted as praising the vine, the basics of winemaking, as well as simply as a wedding song.
We sing this hymn at weddings of Chorus members, in honor of the bride.
📌 Lyrics:
Shen khar venakhi, akhlad aq'vavebuli.
Norchi k'etili, edems shina nerguli.
(Alva suneli, samotkhes amosuli)
(Ghmertman shegamk'o vervina gjobs kebuli)
Da tavit tvisit mze khar da gabrts'q'invebuli.
You are a vineyard, newly blossomed.
Young, beautiful, growing in Eden,
(A fragrant poplar sapling in Paradise)
(May God adorn you. No one is more worthy of praise)
You yourself are the sun, shining brilliantly.

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 Chorus. 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 chorus 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 RUclips, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music.

Wonderful! Somehow this passed me right by, despite two reminders, however this chorus was excellent and i am delighted and proud to see YRC and Kartuli sending this new rendition off to our brothers and sisters in Georgia. Mrahvalzhamier and hopefully we will all get together after the Covid times.
Thank you Mark. Yes, we are looking at ways to get together again after COVID.
So Beautiful. Thank you for sharing and giving all who view it a measure of peace and calm. Wow!

Без обид, но грузин в хоровом пении никто и никогда не переплюнет
ღმერთმა დაგლოცოთ
გმადლობთ
Thank you for sharing this !
Our pleasure. Thank you for listening!
❤👍👍👍
🙏🏻❤️
Хорошо, что вы исполняете песни разных народов, которые исторически связаны и с русской цивилизацией. Грузинские песни - это сокровищница нашей общей культуры.
Недавно была просьба от модератора сайта порекомендовать свои любимые грузинские песни для исполнения вашим хором. Сразу ответить не смог. Отвечу сейчас. С недавних пор моей любимой песней стала Сакартвело Ламазо - песня о любви человека к Родине - Грузии. Раньше я её не слышал, хотя она очень популярна в Грузии. На мой взгляд, лучшее исполнение - это Уча и Гоча Абаладзе ruclips.net/video/-B8vO5zpgbQ/видео.html и многолосие группы грузинских парней ruclips.net/video/MDSILr1p5SA/видео.html. Был бы рад услышать песню в исполнении участников вашего хора
👍👍👍👍!!!!!
Thank you! This song is one of our favorites.

🙏🏻
its very fast!!!
Thank you for your comment. We'll let the conductor know you feel that way.
@@YaleRussianChorusAlumsIt is not about how he feels. Originally, it should be slower.
What a beautiful piece of ancient sacred GEORGIAN polyphonic singing! Thank you for sharing
@@TanyaLongname You're welcome!
გეთანხმები, თუმცა ჩემდა გასაოცრად ნაკლები არაქართული ჟღერადობა აქვთ და მესიამოვნა.
@@qeti.baratashvili აქ არის ახალი ჩანაწერი. მე ვფიქრობ, რომ ხმა გაუმჯობესებულია: ruclips.net/video/7vtssqwE4To/видео.html
У вас в хоре есть спецы по языкам (по произношению)?
Кто выбирает песни?
У нас в группе есть эксперты по языкам. В данном случае дирижер говорит по-грузински. Мы выбираем песни, которые нам нравятся и которые, по нашему мнению, нравятся нашей публике. Шен хар венахи хорошо известен во всем мире.
@@YaleRussianChorusAlums то есть предложить песню может любой участник хора? Спасибо за ответ!
@@user-cw3uz4cp8p Для концертов дирижеры выбирают песни. Я редактировал записи виртуального хора, поэтому выбрал эти песни. Мы подготовили эту запись для виртуального симпозиума в Тбилиси в прошлом году.
This is georgian not Russian and
Thet guys in chat don't sign
They just move their mouth
We assure you, everyone was singing in this recording.
Am sorry i thought u said this is Russian song in video

No worries! Our name is Yale Russian Chorus, but we also enjoy singing songs from other nearby countries including Georgia. Მადლობა მოსმენისთვის!
you should rename to Yale Georgian Chorus. This song has nothing to do with russia
