Description
Yevhen Stankovych, not averse to expressing dramatic, riskier emotions in his music, composed the HOLODOMOR REQUIEM (UKRAINIAN REQUIEM) in 1992. This powerful composition for narrator, bass and mezzo-soprano soloists, two choruses, and orchestra memorializes the victims of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, an event that has been largely overlooked in the 20th Century and after. Stankovych expresses the sadness and despair uniquely through music in this setting of text by Dmytro Pavlychko until the work ends with a feeling of tranquility.
Voicing: for Narrator, Bass Solo, Mezzo-Soprano Solo, 2 SATB Choruses, and Orchestra
