Troyista muzyka

dropdown A troyista muzyka ensemble has three musicians, or a trio. Traditionally, the grouping includes a string instrument, a wind instrument and a drum. The Hutsels, people from the Carpathian Mountains region of Ukraine, have a legend about the troyista muzyka ensemble. dropdown Once upon a time, three musicians, a violinist, a tsymbaly player, and a piper courted a lovely maiden. She could not decide which one she would marry so she asked each man to play his favorite song in a contest. The people in the village would judge which song was best. dropdown The musicians played for the people, but they all played equally well. It was a three-way tie. Next, the maiden asked the men to play again, but this time they would all play the same melody. Again, it was a tie. No one was declared the winner. dropdown Finally, the maiden asked the men to play the tune together. After they finished the song, the people decided that the music sounded so beautiful when the musicians played together, they should forget about marrying the girl and should continue playing as a troyista muzyka or trio of musicians.
