Blues

Midnight Special

 

Blues isn’t supposed for three voices chorale singing. But we couldn’t go other way round. In the video clip you’ll hear me speaking about the legend concerning this song. Well, the time does change and who knows… shall we learn the words of the song again?


Alberta

 

The soloist doesn’t allow to show the video. She’s not right, is she?


Gospel & spituals

It’s Me O Lord

 

The title of this spiritual is quoted so often. Do you remember the book written by an American artist Rockwell Kent?


Mary Wore

 

It’s not that easy for me to find an exact poetic Russian equivalent to the title of the song "Mary Wore Three Lincs Of Chain".


Deep River

 

There are numerous ways of performing this piece of music! You should listen to contemporary Afro-American groups performing it! In comparison with them we are just pioneers… in all the meanings of the word.


There Is A Balm In Gilead

 

A Baptist church in the state of Delaware. A black preacher announces the number of the next psalm, the black parish open their prayer books and start singing “There Is A Balm… “. Can you imagine their surprise and astonishment when their white (!) Russian (!?) guest joined them without peeping into his prayer book, singing, so to say, by heart? Sure it was Sergei Monakhov with a sort of brotherly hello from Club 19A to the black people of America!


Gospel Train

 

The other title of the song is Get On Board, Children.

Once a Soviet music critic put it this way, “Paradoxical as it may appear, in your American repertoire you are more authentic than in the Russian one. You are approaching the black way of singing nearer than some of the white American singers.”
