Product Description
An arrangement of the national anthem of the Ukraine arranged for a female choir consisting of SSAA. A free MP3 is available with the pronunciation of the lyrics: keithterrett@gmail.com
The arrangement is dedicated to the Angelica Women's Chamber Choir.
Shche ne vmerla Ukrainas, the national anthem of Ukraine, has just one verse and one chorus but it remains one of the worlds mightiest patriotic songs.
It was formally adopted less than three decades ago, following the countrys independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
While formally known as the State Anthem of Ukraine, it also goes by its native title Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy, which translates into English as Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished.
The rousing melody we hear today was officially accepted in 1992 by Ukraines parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.
More than 10 years later, the official lyrics were set after then-president Leonid Kuchma proposed a law in 2003.
He wanted priest and composer Mykhailo Verbytskys music to be the vehicle for Ukrainian poets Pavlo Chubynskys patriotic poem, Šče ne vmerla Ukrajina, with some adjustments to the first verse.
Instead of the poets original line Ukraine has not yet died, neither her glory, nor her freedom, the anthem goes, Ukraines glory has not yet died, nor her freedom.
