From St Mary's BCC in Hillsborough, NJ:

http://www.stmarysbcc.org/audio/Prof_Zihal-Svetji.mp3

The above link goes straight to the audio (it plays on the home page of their site).

What's the full name of this hymn? And, can someone point me in the direction of the sheet music/lyrics for it?

Thanks!

Tichy Vecer, many choirs both Eastern Catholic and Orthodox sang this number for choral concerts. We sang it in Binghamton, but I havn't heard it in years.It is a hymn/prayer about the coming of the evening if memory serves me right. Prof. Kahanik and Prof Hilko each included it in their repertoire which makes sense since they were both in Passaic, albeit on different sides of the aisle so to speak back in the day!

Thanks!

Do you think you can score me some sheet music for it?

Years ago I came across a 7" 78 rpm record of my grandfather's (Prof John Petach, Perth Amboy, NJ) choir singing this, titled as "Vechernaja Zorja".

It is a folk song about hearing the birds singing in the evening while one is coming back to the house working in the fields and seeing the evening star.

That's the jist of the translation from the Carpathian Favorites album recorded by the St Mary's Choir in Van Nuys, CA (now Sherman Oaks,CA) back in the late 1960's

Steve is right, I think that our Prof. casually used the title I referenced as I remembered what he posted after I read his post. We had that album and the liturgy album from Van Nuys when I was a child, it was a favorite of my dad. Is that choir still around?

The next time I see Michael Duke of my choir I will mention it to him. Michael has scored all of the liturgical music in our choir's extensive collection and posted it online for all to use at http://www.saintmichaels.info/music/ but none of the folk songs are there. I am sure the our list of those was the same as is familiar to most of you from the Ruthenian Greek Catholic tradition and the Galician Ukrainian one as well.

DMD,

Somewhere, I do have the sheet music for that song. Might take a major search party to find it. I'll see if I can locate it this weekend.
