Program Notes
Prayer for Ukraine is a patriotic Ukrainian hymn published in 1885, eventually becoming a spiritual anthem of Ukraine. The text was written by Oleksandr Konysky, and the music was composed by Mykola Lysenko, first with a children's choir in mind. The song became the regular closing hymn in services of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, and other churches. It gained national significance when it was performed by mass choirs during the Ukrainian War of Independence in 1917–1920. The hymn was intended to be an official spiritual anthem of Ukraine. It has closed sessions of oblast councils, and has been performed at major national functions.
- Program Note from score
The Prayer for Ukraine was arranged for band as part of a worldwide response to the invasion of the country of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022.
