Shchedryk (Bountiful Day)
"A song of hope for the Ukrainian people.
In support of the Ukrainian families displaced to Sussex, local recording artists SINFÖNICCA have created the benefit single ‘Bountiful Day’ with £5 from each sale going to benefit displaced Ukrainian families in Chichester, West Sussex.
Bountiful day is a symphonic rock version of the traditional Ukrainian folk song Shchedryk, known in English as “The Little Swallow”. Shchedryk is a shchedrivka, which encapsulates a message of hope for a better future with the coming spring.
In 1916, Shchedryk was arranged by Mykola Leontovych, its famous four note motif reveals the optimistic and uplifting story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of the good fortune that will come with the new harvest.
‘Bountiful Day’ is especially appropriate considering the fact that Leontovych was murdered by a Soviet agent in 1921.
Bountiful Day is dedicated to the Memory of Serhii Podlyanov - A two day old baby boy, murdered in 2022 in his maternity hospital by a rocket fired on Putin’s orders."
