A dance of colour, tone, line and rhythm in the spirit of Canadian experimental animator Norman McLaren features jazz artist Paul Hoffert in a piano improvisation of the song named, 'Shchedryk'. The ancestral a capella melody is intercut with Norman McLaren's 'Synchromy', Sergei Eisenstein's famous Odessa Steps sequence from 'Battleship Potemkim' and Alexander Dovzhenko's 'Earth'. The pre-Christian song and lyrics arranged by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych tell the story of a swallow flying iinto the house to sing of the wealth of spring. The composer is remembered through his music's powerful role in generating nationalism in the Ukrainian community which resulted in his untimely death in 1921. See less
