Tbilisi Children’s Capella
I came across this video quite by chance, it having led on from another. I was enchanted by it.
Tbilisi Children’s Capella is a children and youth choir from Georgia, named after Georgia’s capital. Tbilisi is Georgia’s largest city, and is home to about a third of the Georgian population.
The choir was founded by Gela Parchukidze, originally as a boys’ choir and was called the Tbilisi Boys’ Capella. After girls were included the name was changed to Tbilisi Children’s Capella.
The term ‘a cappella’ is Italian for ‘in the style of the chapel’ and refers to music that is sung unaccompanied. Although this performance has elements of ‘a cappella’ it also includes instruments.
There are more videos of the choir on YouTube.
I hope you enjoy it!
I liked it, but I do think the choir had too many voices. A smaller choir might have sounded better.
ReplyDeleteYou could be right. I just looked it up and professional groups have 5 to 7. It's the amateur groups that tend to have more, though I would think that this choir is practically professional:-)
DeleteTech issues here. I will listen later in bed.
ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't disappoint.
DeleteTried listening to this...Each to his own...

A creature that's been on the planet for 500,000.000
million years, outlived the dinosaurs even, no heart, no
brain, etc...I thought..bit like the politicians in the House
of Commons...! :o).
As you say, each to their own. As for the HoC, and specifically the Government - pah! We have been watching the Covid inquiry - jaw-dropping accounts of incompetence and arrogance.
DeleteYes! I've been watching some of that...on and
Deleteoff this week...what can one say...and..keeping
it clean, at the same time..!
I live in a block of four homes, with another block
of four, slightly off set...every single adult, and child,
in the seven other homes had Covid, some 2~3 times,
ME! ME! ME! Nothing....I've been asked many times,
why? why? why? "Willie, you've not had Covid".....
I tell everybody...I'm a Sicilian, and eat a lot of garlic...
Garlic will keep all diseases away..everything..though
it'll also keep most of your friends away to...HeHe! :O)
The owners of Harrison, the star of Nobby's agility training group, went on holiday to Georgia last month and came back with glowing reports of the country (although no mention of an a capella choir!)
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful country but not yet part of the 'must visit' destinies, I think, which is good.
ReplyDeleteI'm confident that, in time, Nobby will prove to be an agility star. After all, he is still very young:-)
Good:-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that guy's voice could be a deadringer for Freddie's! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt could. He performs with Queen.
DeleteFantastic! An ambitious choice and they did a wonderful job. Of course it doesn't hurt that I love many of Queen's repertoire, including this piece :D
ReplyDeleteI like Queen and loved Freddie Mercury's voice. Marc Martel is a fantastic singer, too,
