Yes, yes they did, and this isn't the first ensemble to do this exact same thing, why would they deliberately screw it up like that? It was written in major and should always be performed that way. My two cents.
it seems like a lot of the comments really don't like this rendition and are blaming the director/performers. while the performance itself (at least in my opinion) is very well done, i think we're all comparing this to the Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir version that's popular on youtube; this (and many other) choirs are singing a completely different ARRANGEMENT of the same folk song. essentially, same source material, but written a bit differently. if yall got beef, it seems like its with arranger Petar Liondev, not with the director or performers here 😅
I'll be kind and just say a line was crossed here when it should not have been. It takes directorial humility to hear the moments and pull out different ideas long before performances.
I am the director of the group that performed this over 10 years ago. I coached this with some of the original singers from the original group in the 70s.
Certainly a fine job. And the Bulgarian Women’s Choir sounds entirely- like entirely different. This choir is clearly a western European / American style choir doing a fine job approximating this music. A superb effort. Just not how the music is sung by those trained - for many years- in this very particular Bulgarian style of singing.
@@jackdolphy8965 doesn't matter, it's made in the USA so it's obviously superior to the clearly primitive white voice singers of the oriental countries of Slavs ;)
@@thejohnscreekchorale9317it lacks “perceived speed” - the dynamism, the emotion…imagine a young girl “talking - singing” about the boy she really likes to her mother in a lovely way…a teen rambling quite emotionally about the “love of her life” in that kind of “high pitched” VERY emotional and expressive voice typical of emotionally aroused teens. Thats the right emotional expression of the song. Sorry for the musically non-technical way of talking about it, but even as a non-musician from Bulgaria its quite obvious to me. As well as the fact that it should be pure vocal performance(despite the timing difficulties for the choir). Thats what makes it so emotional, in an “immature-teeny” way - if there is perceived by the audience “tact” to it, the flowing nature of it is diminished. Otherwise - great work. You are close to making it excellent, and I wish you and the girls that. Greetings from Bulgaria 😊
I can coach a sheep dog to hunt rabbits, but a huning dog will still do a better job. It's not just about the coaching - it takes practice and it takes dedication. If you are from the original group, listen to your performance and tell me honestly this is on the same level emotionally, or purely from a musical perspective. I am not saying it's bad, I am very happy someone is trying to recreate our style and make it more widely known
As a Bulgarian, I’m deeply offended by that run at 1:50
Did they just end on a minor chord instead of the, I presume, original major chord?
weird indeed.
They did
I prefer the E major chord ending of the original video
But this is also good!!!!

No comments but wow this is amazing
Congratulations for the performance! But ending on a minor chord? Why?
This sounds!
Drummer had one fucking job...!
I love this song but what had you go minor at the very end?
👏👏👏👏🎼🎶🌼🌻🍀🌹🦋
It says:
“If that other-town boy come, I will make love with him till the noon time”
…and later:
“I will love him (make love with him) whole life”

wdym
What lines were crossed?
I am the director of the group that performed this over 10 years ago. I coached this with some of the original singers from the original group in the 70s.
@@thejohnscreekchorale9317 I think he meant that he thinks there were too many changes compared to the Bulgaria State Television Choir version
I love all of the lesser developed people complaining
Разкошно !
Lol there’s an odd one out haha
Не . Не очень . Оригинал лучше . А это с али экспресс
too slow
Thanks for the comment but the tempo is taken right from the score.
Wow. Interesting but not convincing. This is really Not what this music is supposed to sound like
What does that even mean? I coached it with several members of the original group.... Good job keyboard warrior.
