A Ukrainian Prayer

SATB with divisions

John writes:

‘How can a composer respond to a global tragedy? By writing music is the most obvious thing. Like everybody, I’ve been shocked and dismayed by the events of recent days, and the first thing I wanted to do was write some music that would respond in my own way.’

The score is available for free by submitting this form. You are welcome to duplicate the score for the sole use of your own choir.
