Written
in response to the tragic
events in Kiev in 2014,
this music draws on the
old Ukrainian folk song
Plyve Kacha, which became
an anthem for many
protestors as a symbol of
national pride while also
mourning the fallen.
Described by the composer
as Arabian Dances meets
Moscow, 1941, the music
is incredibly powerful
yet introspective. Quotes
of the Ukrainian National
Anthem add to the
intensity of the music,
which features the
instrumentalists singing
in 4-part harmony at the
very end of the piece.
Absolutely stunning.
