World Children’s Choir invites children, teens, and adults from all nations to sing in our new virtual video, “Prayer for Ukraine.” “Molytva za Ukrayinu” is a patriotic Ukrainian hymn published in 1885 with a children’s choir in mind. The text was written by Oleksandr Konysky, and the music was composed by Mykola Lysenko. It has become the spiritual anthem of Ukraine. Recordings are due by May 15, 2022. We have two versions of the song, one for children and teens (SA), and one for adults, teens, and children (SATB).
