Paparuda is based
on a Romanian folk poem,
a pagan rain dance song.
During a period of heat
and drought the rain
goddess is implored to
finally let it rain, to
refresh people and to
water the earth, so that
it can bring forth fruit
and flowers abundantly.
The composer George
Balint (b. 1961) has set
this ritual to music for
mixed choir, in an
impressive piece with
thrilling rhythm. As well
as the Romanian text, a
singable German and
English version is
included.
