A Ukrainian Fantasy
Музыка
"Music is the only thing that saves you morally and distracts you from what is happening around you. I play in the hope that after this madness is over, I will be ready to participate in the renewal of cultural life in my country" - Rostyslav Holubov, 2023
To all of our disbelief the attack on Ukraine, its people, culture, and music, is still ongoing and there is no end to the unspeakable violence instigated by the invaders.

"Oh, In The Cherry Orchard" is a beautiful Ukrainian folk song that has been popular for generations. The song tells the story of a young girl who finds herself in a cherry orchard, where she reflects on her feelings of love and longing for someone she cannot be with. The melody of the song is haunting and melancholic, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness.
I had a lovely exchange online with Rostyslav Holubov, a young composer from Ukraine, last year. Rostyslav shared with me his passion for Ukrainian folk music and his approach to arranging it for a contemporary audience. It was difficult at first for him to share his sheet music as he was in Kharkiv and his scores were on a flash drive he couldn't get to anymore. In the end, he had to rewrite the entire piece from memory!
His composition that plays with the song's theme is a testament to his skill as a composer and his deep appreciation for the rich musical traditions of his homeland. The fantasy features a delicate and nuanced interplay between the melody and the accompaniment, with subtle touches that emphasize the song's bittersweet mood.

yep. I did mention it in the comments of previous videos and ask to everyone to signal this scammer to youtube. But, to be clear, most of your viewers are quite educated, and will spot this as a scam immediatly ;-) Someone in the comments wrote that your performances are the real gift. I do agree 100%
For Ukraine!🇺🇦 I’m so excited! And grateful! Thank you very much, Dear Stephanie!🤗❤️

Если бы Запад (США) не вмешивались, - давно бы всё благополучно закончилось, наступил бы мир. Но кровожадный Запад не успокоится, пока вдоволь не нажрется русской и украинской крови.
Such grace and depth. Beautiful piece wonderfully interpreted. Thank you so much for this precious moment, Dear Ms Jones. Peace and Love.
Чудове виконання! Зворушена Вашою виконавською майстерністю! Хай Вам щастить!
Thank You dear Stephanie from the bottom of my heart. I am ukrainian and I'm also a classical guitarist and a music teacher. You are incredible. Your playing is out of this world. I'm speechless.
You are such an inspiration 💚 It’s an honor to listen and watch you play. Your talent surpasses many 👏
Beautiful work, as always Stephanie. I'm sure the people of Ukraine appreciate it. Best wishes for all Ukrainian people. We, in the US, salute you.

This enchanting music flows like drops of crystal. Brutality and death scream as loudly as ever, but once again art affirms life.
Oh Stephanie that was magic. The music was magnificent, soulful, and inspirational. And I loved the sound of your guitar. Simple gorgeous.

A gift for me? Hmm. Sounds good
I have watched this video about 30 times already. I more I listen the more I like it. Only a few other guitar pieces can evoke so much emotions from me. I think it is going to be a classic alongside pieces such as Romance, Cavatina, Fur Elise, Schinder's List, and the Prelude of Barrio's The Cathedral. Thank you again, Stephanie, for doing this piece justice.
Incredible melody! full of feeling and evocation to the reflection of the present and that evokes to change and improve as human beings, thanks to Rostyslav Holubov and you Stephanie Jones for such beautiful music!💙💛
Спасибо. В это страшное время, как глоток чистой родниковой воды.
