Postcards from Ukraine

POSTCARDS FROM UKRAINE is a charming-yet-fiery suite of six character pieces reflecting the culture and music of Didorenko’s homeland. The work was composed in early 2022 following the invasion. Movements 2 & 3 are inspired by folk music with the piano imitating sounds of the bandura, and the other four movements are free settings of authentic folk melodies. A live performance by the composer may be heard at https://youtu.be/l1aR8SKnnOA?si=AvYoqwdbaUyEyVKv
