The program for this CD and release concert includes pieces that Kappella Kyrie has worked on for the last several years, plus new works this season. At the end of last season, Kappella Kyrie began recording several selections, everything from Kyrylo Stetsenko’s ,,Благослови, душе моя, Господа” (Bless the Lord, O My Soul) from his Vespers, to an arrangement of Dolly Parton’s Light of the Clear Blue Morning. One of Kappella Kyrie’s two recording sessions in June 2023 was with the talented, young Ukrainian baritone, Yurii Hryhorash. Kappella Kyrie’s recording journey continued this season with works such as Artem Vedel’s ,,Нині отпущаєши’’ (Lord, Now Lettest Thou), written in the choral concerto style of the Baroque period, and Ukrainian Alleluia by American composer, Craig Courtney.
In addition, Kappella Kyrie commissioned Edmonton composer, Diana Tayler who has written a piece titled “The Resurrection.” It sets a poem by the award-winning Ukrainian poet, publisher, visual artist and political activist Marjana Savka and is about the optimistic spirit of so many Ukrainians fighting for their country.
Kappella Kyrie is looking forward to concluding their 2023-24 season with a concert and formal reception on May 30, 2024 to officially release the professional recordings of these meaningful pieces, largely by Ukrainian or Ukrainian-Canadian composers. Kappella Kyrie looks forward to sharing this milestone with their generous donors, colleagues, families, and friends, alongside the greater community of Ukrainian-Canadians.
