This is Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra and Choir's dedication to brave Ukrainian people who suffer under the brutal Russian invasion. Our musicians performed this beautiful love song a couple of years ago. Tine Bec did an amazing arrangement. It was composed by Mykola Leontovych: Shchedryk (Carol the Bells) with a splendid arrangement, made by composer Slovenian Tine Bec.
This arrangement is magical. It starts like deep sad mourning and continues to strengthen, unitarian voice, which is stronger than any steel, any armoury and any Russian bullet, rocket or trank grande. Music is a winner. It gives hope, unites us in a way, that no aggression will ever win.
Arrangement: Tine Bec
Piano: Monika Podlogar; Cello: Katarina Minatti

PPZ production dedicates this beautiful love song to all brave Ukrainian people, who will never surrender. Their freedom is our freedom. Their lives are our lives! Just turn on English subtitles.
