"Shen Khar Venakhi" - Georgian Medieval Hymn

The song "Shen Khar Venakhi" (You Are a Grapevine) is one of the most famous and beloved works in Georgian musical tradition. This ancient Georgian hymn dates back to the 12th century and is also known as "You Are a Vine." It is attributed to King Demetre I of Georgia, who was also a poet and musician.
The lyrics are filled with metaphors and express deep reverence and love for the bride, comparing her to a blossoming vine. The song describes not only physical beauty but also spiritual grandeur. It holds significant symbolic meaning and is often performed at weddings and other ceremonial events.
Musically, "Shen Khar Venakhi" is performed a cappella, and its harmonies reflect the unique features of Georgian polyphonic singing. The song can be performed by a male choir, which adds a particular depth and sublimity to it. Its widespread use by Georgian choirs helps to preserve and promote national musical traditions.
"Shen Khar Venakhi" remains one of the most vivid and poignant works in Georgian musical culture, symbolizing the beauty and harmony that are so valued in Georgian society.
