The poem ??? ? ?????????? ??????? [Once upon Epiph'ny Eve] by Pushkin's contemporary Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (1783-1852) refers to the post-Christmas custom of young girls wishing to interpret their future from various signs. One finds here, as in so many church rituals, a mixture of Christian tradition and superstitious pagan cult. Traditions of Russian Orthodox liturgical singing blend together with the fairy-tale character (with its indication 'magically fragrant') and perspectives of new music in the 20th and 21st century. Written for Ensemble Wiener Collage's Christmas concert in 2016.
