Molytva za Ukrayinu - Prayer for Ukraine World Children’s Choir invites children, teens, and adults from all nations to sing in our new virtual video, “Prayer for Ukraine.” “Molytva za Ukrayinu” is a patriotic Ukrainian hymn published in 1885 with a children’s choir in mind. The text was written by Oleksandr Konysky, and the music was composed by Mykola Lysenko. It has become the spiritual anthem of Ukraine. The video will be included in an online benefit concert for the Voices of Ukraine Foundation on November 13, 2022. Recordings must be made on or before October 1, 2022. Introduction Video: https://easyvirtualchoir.com/song/99110 We have two versions of the song, one for children and teens, and one for adults. This rehearsal is for high school students whose voices have changed and adults. The children/teen version needs high school girls as well, those registering for this rehearsal will receive free admission to the children and teen rehearsal. The proceeds of rehearsals on CommonTime and concert tickets received by World Children’s Choir (less any credit card, bank fees) will be donated to Voices of Children Foundation which has been helping children affected by the war since 2015. https://voices.org.ua/en/ Each rehearsal includes breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups, and learning the melody or alto, tenor, bass part.
