"This disk is really like a book - ancient, carefully preserved book narrating about olden days and far-away life. You close it - and feel like re-reading… Touching, tender and soulful, sometimes merry and light, but sometimes moving till it hearts, the music of "The Book of Dove" sounds unhurriedly, quietly and very frankly... A Christmas carol, a wedding song, a ritual chime or an old parable expressed in music… And if the content of the songs is a genre encyclopaedia of old Russian music, then the means of presentation is a true encyclopaedia of folk musical instruments…"

Special word about song "Ukrainian carol"
based on Ukrainian folk song, 
composed for choir by Mykola Leontovych with a title "Shchedryk"
adapted by Peter J. Wilhousky as a "Carol of the Bells"

The melody was created in 1916 by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921) and titled "Shchedryk". Based on an old Ukrainian folk song, the original lyrics describes the swallow flying into a household to proclaim the plentiful year that the family will have. The song's title is derived from the Ukrainian word "shchedryi" which means "bountiful." The swallow is a herald of spring coming, possibly of pre-Christian origins. The folk melody was sung in many Ukrainian villages on Jan. 13 – New Year's Eve on the Julian calendar – usually by adolescent girls going house to house in celebration of the new year. 

The choral work Shchedryk was first performed by students at Kiev University in December 1916. When American choir director and arranger Peter Wilhousky (1902-1978) heard Leontovich's choral work, it reminded him of bells; so he wrote new lyrics to convey that imagery for his choir. He published the new lyrics in 1936. Of Czech background, Wilhousky grew up singing in Russian-American choirs and made many translations and arrangements of Slavic music. The title chosen by him "Carol of the Bells" was harmonious with the old Slavic legend that at midnight the evening Jesus was born all the bells on earth started to sound of their own accord in his honor. Since then the song has become a popular Christmas tune especially in the US and Canada where it is also known as "Ukrainian Carol".

"Did you have a chance to sing a duet with a pi-i bird who meets every sunrise on the branch of a plum tree growing at the foot of the Southern mountain in Sichuan valley?... No? But old Li Bo did it more than once. Travelling unhurriedly on the back of his donkey, he has been learning the wisdom of the long winding way along the bank of the Yangtze between the mountains, across the vallies - to the place where the clouds meet the horizon… What is fate? Li Bo though about it not once. Is it not the happiness of the long way to the beginning of the river, to better places where clouds rise over the mountain. Where there is the joy of home, quiet and silence. Where everything has bee long known…
The album was created on the basis a limitless, fascinating sea of sounds, recorded by a French film director Robert-Emile Canat in the provinces of China: Guangxi (Yao), Guizhou (Paus Dong) and Yunan."

"According to Hopi beliefs, this is the fourth creation of life; the three preceeding ending in destruction. Each time conflict, which is not a part of The Hopi Way, came about as men forgot or denied the plan of the Creator... The First World: "Endless Space" contained the First People and was a pure and happy universe. It was destroyed by fire. The Second World: "Dark Midnight" was destroyed by cold and ice. The Chosen People survived in an anthill and then climbed up a ladder into the third world. The Third World was destroyed by floods. Spider Woman saved these ancestors by hiding them in reeds and floating them to dry land into the Fourth World. The Fourth World: "The World Complete." The caretaker of this world is Masauu, The Fire God. This world is unlike the previous three, which have been blocked by waters and ice. In the past worlds they had been well-provided for, but the fourth world has proven to be harsh, with deserts, marshes, mountains, and violent weather. The Hopi say this world is now ending and the Fifth World has begun…"
