The songs of Georgia are part of Unesco's World Cultural Heritage. This Songbook of Georgia, which focuses on the female repetoire of traditional songs, is the product of two singers and music ethnologists who have been working together for many years: Tamar Buadze (Georgia) and Imke McMurtrie (Germany). It combines their knowledge and experience of Georgian song culture and their special arrangements of the songs and explains what potential this song treasury with its polyphony and special harmonies has in music therapy, music teaching and for the international choral music scene. The aim of the book is not only to present the individual songs as authentically as possible but also to convey their genesis and their meaning in the context of community singing, thus preserving their roots and ensuring their continuing use today.
