Hello Everyone,
This past week I had time to dig a bit deeper in looking at Prayer for Ukraine and wanted to share this update with you.
Attached is an updated score, please discard the ones you had previously. I will bring new copies to rehearsal. If you are joining from Zoom, you can print yourself a copy.
I also found a recording that I prefer, posted to YouTube recently by the US Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants. Their performance has some beautiful introductory material. The arrangement as we are singing it starts around 1:08. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glL_mWmzXoM
Their pronunciation is very clear. You may notice a few different words in our updated score to match what they are singing and also what I have found in other versions online. I assume that over the years small discrepancies in the text have evolved that account for the differences.
In the YouTube description, you can see the lyrics and translation.
See you all tonight!
Laura
