Natvra – Guria
Guidance: Don’t worry too much about the changing time signatures, we will feel the timing between each other and the chonguri.
There is a top voice variation at around 2 minutes, which we will not worry about. It is in the score (bar 35) and in the part recordings, but we will just repeat what happens at the first ‘o… dila o dela…’.
Natvra = wish
A tribute to the 11th century epic poem ‘The Knight in Panthers Skin’
I have only 3 wishes in my life. The beauty of King Tamar, the wisdom of Shota Rustaveli, and the love of Tarieli.
