" Notes were subsequently found in the funds of the library of Vernadsky. Therefore, we sought to reveal the potential of this work, to show how it could sound without censorship.

It is this song that opens our project, because it is a work of the underestimated Ukrainian composer, which is almost not talked about. When we turned to music funds, it turned out that a significant part of his work was not digitized and inaccessible to modern performers.

And at the same time in this song there is a desire to break out of the restrictions of the Soviet era, and Valentina Naumenko’s poetry adds tenderness and lyrical beauty. The content and spirit of this composition is the best convey our idea - to revive voices that deserve a new life, ”says the initiator of the project and performer Maryana Golovko.

Most of them have not previously been demonstrated publicly. These shots became a visual background of the song - silent witnesses of the era who come to life through music. The director of the clip was the documentary of Stanislav Dorongchenko.

The Great Ukranian Songbook is a platform for the revitalization of the song heritage of Ukrainian composers. The team finds songs excluded from the official canon, and return their voice in a modern sound space. This is a music that was supposed to sound and attend the international song landscape - and now it will sound.
