Traditional, arranged by Dessislava Stefanova

The London Bulgarian Choir is a vibrant, sociable and open-hearted group of singers embracing all nationalities, ages and abilities. It was founded in 2000 by renowned Bulgarian singer Dessislava Stefanova and has become a tour de force, performing across the UK and Bulgaria.

This song is a blessing for a young girl who has just come of age. The words are simple but they open the door to the mythic world of ancient Bulgaria. They remind us that we are part of the universe and that we carry within us the seeds of the divine. The song’s shimmering harmonies and vocal style are like an echo from the cosmos, a call to remember the shining radiance of being.

A bright star has risen
It wasn't a bright star
It was a young maiden
