JAMES HART: A Hope and Prayer for Ukraine (2022) James Hart, piano

"A Hope and Prayer for Ukraine", piano composition by James Hart
'Here is my composition for the people of Ukraine at this terrible moment in their, and the world's history ... may they prevail against this terrible aggression from "you know who"!
I composed and recorded this in early March while feeling much grief about the situation. The entire composition is based upon the Ukrainian national anthem and at the end, I quote that anthem.
Please look up the lyrics of their anthem ... it's as though they just wrote it a week or so ago.'

A composition and performance as at-once proud and soulful as Ukrainians themselves. Bravo, and grateful acknowledgment to James Hart for this heartfelt gesture.
The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished
Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine,
and we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land.
We’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom
and we’ll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin.
