I don't know if this is news or not, but the
beautiful wordless singing of the Hicox ensemble
on 'Hello Earth' (also part of the soundtrack to
Werner Herzog's 1979 film 'Nosferatu: Phantom der
Nacht') is a Georgian folk melody 'CinCquaro'.
The Internet Movie Database lists the piece as:
"Zinskaro" and says that in the film it is
performed by vocal ensemble Gordela - but does
not identify the country of origin. An excellent
recording by the Ensemble Georgika is to be found
on their CD 'Music from Georgia' issued by
CrossCurrents Music, CM50011-2.
