Program Notes
A Prayer for Ukraine was composed for children’s choir by Mykola Lysenko in 1885. It has since been adapted for many different uses, and is considered a ‘spiritual anthem’ for the Ukrainian people. (It is not the same as the Ukrainian National Anthem.) This version for concert band was created in April 2022 during the time of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. It is intended as a simple gesture of peace and hope for victims of unspeakable acts of cruelty – especially children.
