PEACE HYMN SLAVA UKRAINI! HEROYAM SLAVA!
Millions of refugees from Ukraine are trying to escape the violence of war.
My spouse, who is Ukrainian and I founded together ArtUkraine in order to support refugees via musical events like benefit concerts or performances of my Peace Hymn that I especially composed for this project. It is a combination of the offical march of the Ukrainian army followed by the National Anthem of Ukraine.
These new scores of the Peace Hymn for the Ukraine exist now in three new free versions for symphonic orchestra, for concert band and for organ solo - and has been made available free of charge to all orchestras and organists in the world in order to support the refugees and by performing it otherwise hopefully generating donations for realising humanitarian actions there.
Orchestras and other interested parties that organize (musical) benefit meetings can use the se works for humanitarian actions for Ukraine. Also Feofaniya for piano four hands is available as well.
All scores are downloadable here at zodiaceditions.com for free, surf to 'Orchestra' and 'Solo'.
We also make an appeal to financially support Art4Ukraine. We have already donated 9500€ to tabletochki.org, for children with cancer in Ukraine, we supported the repair of an ambulance in Donbask region, we donated for 6000€ humanitarian goods in the south-west region of Ukraine.
All donations are welcome, The gifts will be entirely (so no administration costs etc.) spent in the place where help is actually needed. We meticulously inform all donors for what their money will be utilized. Complete transparency is our motto.
Where possible, share the Peace Hymn!
You can also find the link of the recent organ solo version of the Peace Hymn on our Facebook page of Art4Ukraine. This performance was created by Johannes Unger in the famous Marienkirche in Lübeck.
Thank you for your cooperation.
