Didorenko, Andrii - Postcards from Ukraine - Violin and Piano - Presser
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 Russian invasion of Ukraine. 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. Didorenko says of these folk tunes, "[these four movements] are my interpretations of true Ukrainian folk songs, typically sung a capella by a women's choir, from small villages that keep their vocal traditions alive.
A live performance by the composer may be heard at here.
