Acculturation

Title: We Bow to Your Cross
Performers: St. Peter in the Loop Schola
Culture/Origin: Carpatho Rusyn Mountains
Orchestration: Choir/Chant

This song was located on my church website. It is a hymn that is used during liturgy on special occasions, and I thought it would be appropriate for acculturation. This first version of it was the traditional Rusyn chant that was used in the church: Here it is! Here is the new one that was a Galician influence and we still use it today, in fact it is the more widely used one in the United States. This just really interests me because it just happened to become tradition strictly because it was an influence from another culture.
