Kyiv, 2022 
A Sequel to Moscow, 1941 
By Brian Balmages 
00-50117 
MakeMusic Young Band
Grade: 2.5
Written as a powerful sequel to Moscow, 1941, this work changes the narrative, where the theme from Moscow now becomes the aggressor, and the heroic people of Ukraine are represented by the Ukrainian National Anthem and the powerful song "Prayer for Ukraine." Certain to spark discussions about humanity, history, and culture, this piece can easily be performed alongside Moscow, 1941 or in place of it.

I wish I had this video when I played this piece last year💀

Stayed in Kyiv on a special assignment. Beautiful city with beautiful people. Say many old and beautiful buildings. From Embassy row to the heart of government square and the beautiful churches. Saddened by the damage inflicted by the shelling and rocket attacks.

I love this piece so much, but there aren’t many recordings of it yet 😢

[madeleinewalker]

We almost played this for our winter concert but it was voted against out of it two options. I love it though, and we already played something from Moscow 41 last year

[antihornichadcheems]

[mawjeas]

I played this in 8th grade, but at the concert, the percussionists were playing one measure early… (playing measure 20 on measure 19)

[commanderowen]

This is so much like Moscow 1941 is insane

[mishankap]

Where I can get notes?my brother in law in Ukraine is the conductor of Khmelnitskiy municipal orchestra, they would love to play this beautiful pearl

[nnao]

Played this a couple days ago at my 7-8th grade concert, we performed this nearly flawlessly :D

[serbiancountryballs]

Why did they rename moscow 1941 to kiev 2022? Just sounds like flanderization. Might as well make an israel 2024 then call it Palestine 2149
