   SVITANYA (svee-TAH-nya), which means “the light at sunrise” in Croatian   
   and Ukrainian, is a women’s a cappella ensemble that specializes in   
   music from Eastern Europe. Songs exude the spirit of traditional village   
   music and are modern arrangements, learned from village source   
   recordings, and are sung in their original languages. Their repertoire   
   ranges from strong and strident field-working songs to traditional dance   
   tunes to lush and emotive arrangements--and it all celebrates the   
   timbres, rhythms, and harmonies indigenous to the region. Most every   
   song tells a story; some celebrate the mundane events of daily life   
   (cutting wheat in the fields or strolling in the street with musicians).   
   Others depict life’s more poignant moments, such as losing a loved one   
   to war or being married off while too young.
