The CD is a logical consequence of events which marked the celebration of Mixed Choir’s Viva Brežice 20th anniversary in 2012.

Preparation of the program for the jubilee concert and a new album began in 2011 when the choir ordered some fresh folk song arrangements with instrumental accompaniment from a few selected composers. In Slovenian choral environment with a strong folk tradition that was an exception and a challenge at the same time. Were also invited young composers to cooperate in the project, the students at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana.

The range of new arrangements of folk songs and motifs includes plenty of diversity concerning the source of the song, expressiveness, instrumental accompaniment and style ... the sound image extends from quite simply sounding folk motifs to modern interpretations and more complex sound ideas. The common point of the songs is only a declaration of love - a lingering, mischievous, heroic and sincere.

Almost all twelve tracks is primarily folk songs, except for one - serenade from Teharska nobles from composer Ipavec, “Tebi naj se glasi”. It is popular in Brežice town surroundings in original folk embodiment, from which the adaptation is derived. Ten of songs are accompanied instrumentally, and in two of them the composer wanted to follow the originality of Slovenian folk song - in a cappella version.

In short, it is a diverse, interesting, different CD,
which brings freshness to the Slovenian choral environment.

Feel free to listen to some of the song outtakes:
