Ukrainian Christmas Carols and New Year Songs In pagan times the Slavic Christmas music- Kolyadkas and Shchedrivkas (Traditional Christmas carols in Ukraine and Russia) were a component of sacramentals related with New Year Day and vernal equinox. Later, during the time of the Christianization of Old Russia from Bizantine, Kolyadkas and Shchedrivkas (Ukrainian Christmas carols) became a symbol of Christmas time and other biblical dates and events. Obviously, such reassess of function has served as the reason of a semantic and stylistic variety of Ukrainian Christmas carols, represented on the disk. |

In every Ukrainian village tens or hundreds of original Christmas songs arose, inasmuch as all of Ukraine sang incessantly throughout the festivities from Christmas through to the Epiphany (from the evening of the 6th to the 19th of January, by the new calendar). read more and hear |
