This arrangement of the Ukrainian National Anthem (poetry written by Pavlo Chubynskyj, arranged by Oleksandr Koshetz), including a rarely sung second verse, was discovered in a rare hundred year old edition that was printed for the 1919 world tour of the National Choir of Ukraine, conducted by Koshetz.
