About the artist
Ialoni
Georgian women's vocal ensemble formed in Tbilisi in 2009, rooted in the Orthodox liturgical polyphony of Georgia. For its first years the group sang nothing else, reviving little-known chants from archives, manuscripts and field recordings, among them the complete Paraklesis services of Sweet Jesus and of the Mother of God, each running to almost a hundred chants. Their repertoire has since widened to take in the folk and city songs that make up the other two streams of Georgian polyphony.
“We select our repertoire from archival records and manuscripts, expedition findings and published notated collections, with a special emphasis on reviving relatively unusual, original and complex samples.”Ialoni
