	Khorovod : 21st Century Conductor
		In pagan Russia, the first Khorovods were calendar songs, frequently sung by dancers while expressing the words with various actions such as sowing millet or flax.
		There were also Khorovods for girls only, for couples and in which a couple or an individual would dance in the centre.
		Many of the dances and particularly the "solos" in the centre, were improvised and took the form of a light-hearted competition, the boys showing off their strength and the girls their lyrical qualities.

		It has been suggested that whirling, dancing, rhythmic singing and drumming were means of achieving states of exaltation or trance and were used in fortune-telling.
		Khorovod: The circle dance (In spring they plant and sow; in summer they watch over and rejoice in their forthcoming harvest; in fall they reap; in winter they rest).
		Its basic form, the circle, was associated with the cult of the sun.

	21st Century Conductor : Archives
		Khorovod takes its inspiration from East European folk dance, in particular a melodic formula that has a simple falling outline masked by intricate decorative embellishment.
		In Anderson's sizzling reinterpretation the swirling excitement wasn't lost, yet spontaneity remained the key in a style that imported snatches of techno and house.
		The audience did however ask pertinent questions after the first playthrough, and thereafter we went through Anderson's treatment of melody, using the theme from the Princesses' Round from Firebird, which is a Khorovod, as a starting point.

	Vadim Prokhorov - Russian Folk Songs: Musical Genres and History
		The term “the Russian folk song” embraces a variety of musical and poetic genres, which are better called categories or groups, since the term “genre” cannot be rightfully applied?so various and intertwined are these groups.
		For example, as far as musical and poetical devices are concerned, a particular calendar song can belong to a khorovod genre which includes dance and game activities and which can have both agricultural ritual and lyric non-ritual content.
		It is largely believed that khorovod songs and, linked to them, dance songs, emerged from calendar ritual songs.

		It was good to hear Julian Anderson introducing Khorovod in a pre-concert talk that also included a sweet performance of Scherzo with trains by members of the clarinet section of the LPYO.
		Anderson is an eloquent speaker who exudes a certain down-to-earth element about his personality (I like his description of the final section of Khorovod as ‘chill-out’ music).
		Scored for fifteen players, it is, by Anderson’s own admission, a piece wherein he defines himself as a composer.

		But the scarlet charm soon vanished, leaving a fabulous vision of 13 young women in extraordinary costumes, marrying green to lilac, orange and yellow, twisting and turning, whirling around and joining the young men in performing the wildest gypsy dance.
		Inspired by traditional movements, including the Khorovod chain dances that formed the basis of many choreographic patterns and designs, these dances presented a profile of the Ukrainian people, their history, their life and their relationship to nature.
		And even if there was a certain repetition in some of the dancing skills the audience loved every somersault and every step the dancers took, every leap in the air and all the brilliance that went with it.

	Anderson: Alhambra Fantasy; Khorovod; The Stations of the Sun, etc, BBCSO/ London Sinfonietta/ Knussen \| \| Guardian ...
		The most recent of these recordings is already five years old - the disc was gathering dust on the shelves of another major label before Ondine snapped it up - but the collection has been well worth waiting for.
		It takes in just over a decade of Julian Anderson's development, from the 1990 Diptych, composed while he was still studying at Cambridge, to the dazzling Alhambra Fantasy, first performed by the London Sinfonietta in 2001.
		The pungent, punchy Khorovod, another Sinfonietta commission, from 1994, was Anderson's breakthrough piece, while both the 1998 Stations of the Sun and the deeply personal elegy The Crazed Moon, completed a year earlier, show how quickly and confidently Anderson took up the formal and technical challenges of writing for a large orchestra.

		His latest piece, Heaven is Shy of Earth, is premièred at tomorrow night's BBC Prom, and to coincide with that event comes the release of this first disc devoted wholly to his music.
		It provides a comprehensive survey of his work in the 1990s, from his early, prize-winning Diptych, by way of his seminal Khorovod to his earlier Prom commission The Stations of the Sun and his most recent work for the London Sinfonietta, Alhambra Fantasy.
		Oliver Knussen has been something of a mentor to Anderson, and he brings out the primeval vigour of Khorovod (he is its dedicatee) while dwelling on the passages of ravishing lyricism in The Stations of the Sun and the keening melody of The Crazed Moon.
