Shchedryk Ukrainian Choir Series
На горонці / On the Hill
arr. Roman Surzha
A Ukrainian Christmas folk song, reminiscent of delicate lace inserted into a modern harmonic framework.
SSAA div. a cappella choir
This Ukrainian Christmas folk song is arranged by Ukrainian composer Roman Surzha. The song is reminiscent of delicate lace inserted into a modern harmonic framework. The cyclic form, characteristic of Ukrainian Carols, is divided by harmonic constructions that separate the couplets from each other, giving space that sets off the lyrical beauty of the text.

Tam na horontsi dvi zozulonjtsi
V jatʃmeni tam pry dolyni
Krasna divonjka ljon bere
Oj zrivniaj Boʒe

– Traditional Ukrainian Folk Song
Translation:
imitating a plucked instrument
Two cuckoos sit on top of the hill
In barley there by the valley
a beautiful woman hangs linen
Lord
would you level mountains and valleys evenly
So my father could see them
as clearly as me
Lord
would you level mountains and valleys evenly
So my mother could see them
as clearly as me
Lord
would you level mountains and valleys evenly
So my sister could see them
as clearly as me
Two cuckoos sit on top of the hill
In barley there by the valley
a beautiful woman hangs linen
