"Hail, Queen of Peace," a hymn for Ukraine
-
Grace and peace, everyone.
Here is a new composition: text, tune, and harmonization mine. Tune name is KOROLEVA MIRU---Ukrainian for "Queen of Peace."
In Christ,
Anna -
It has a triumphalist feel about it. I'll guess that's intentional.
Does the tune have a provenance in Ukraine, by chance?Thanked by 1Anna_Bendiksen -
No, Chris, it's mine.
-
Anna,
I'm being unclear. I didn't mean "Did you compose it?", since you answered that question straightforwardly. I meant "What was your inspiration?". -
Gosh---um---the world's need of Our Lady?
-
I think Chris is asking if the tune is based on a Ukranian melody.
