Morin Khuur the Voice of the Grasslands
From deep on the endless steppe, comes the sound of the Morin Khuur; ancient, mysterious, sounding like a dark relic from a thousand years ago, a voice emerging from a black sky; but also noble and unrestrained, its heroic tones soaring over the boundless prairie.
Listen to the rich, long tones of the Morin Khuur; its sweet sounds can fill an infinite space; its resonance filled with romance and longing. Its sonorous voice can give expression to every emotion. We hear the verdant grasslands, the flocks of sheep, the rising sun, and even the sound of the flowers blooming; a deeply felt, union of heaven and earth. When it is played softly, the Morin Khuur reveals nature's secrets, and paints scenes of the limitless vistas of the prairies, wild and untamed. It unfolds its stories in song, soaring and expressing each feeling and nuance without artifice. It is impossible to resist its long, winding melodies as they weave their way around you, holding you in an intimate embrace. No sooner have you succumbed to its hypnotic charms than it swings into a lively dance, brimming with life and the spirit of lusty celebration. The herdsmen still say, "There can't be songs without accompaniment by a Morin Khuur."
