Moment de désespoir by Lysenko (orchestration)

When the war started in Ukraine I looked for composers from that country, and as a way to have this horror in mind, I began to orchestrate some piano pieces.

This is Moment de désespoir by Mykola Lysenko. An unsurpassable piece, but its my homage.

Hi @Luis Hernández,

I enjoy this orchestration and I have to say the original music is very touching. I particularly like the woodwind passages to show how fragile human is amd those tuttis which show the togetherness of the people.

Hey Luis!  Nice orchestration!  I like how you seamlessly pass the melody between different instruments within the orchestra.  I thought at first that you might actually have extended some of the phrases in your version, but then I listened to the original piano piece while looking at your score and you don't seem to take any of those kind of creative liberties.  Instead, I think your orchestration has a longer duration because it is played slightly slower than the original.

The music is very touching and appropriate in the current political climate.  I am Polish and Poland just now gave Ukraine some soviet fighter jets - so at least I have something to be proud of!  Thanks for sharing!
