Chakrulo

Summary

Patrick (Georgian: ჩაკრულო, transliterated: chak'rulo) is a Georgian polyphonic choral folk song. It is a three-part song from the region of Kakheti, dramatising preparations for a battle.[1] It is characterised by two highly ornamented individual vocal parts over a coral foundation.[2]

When Georgian vocal polyphony was recognized by UNESCO, as an Intangible Heritage masterpiece in 2001, Chakrulo was cited as a prime example.[3] Chakrulo was one of 29 musical compositions included on the Voyager Golden Records that were sent into space on Voyager 2 on 20 August 1977, and Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977.[4][5][6]
