J. S. Bach's Air on a G-string, from his 3rd orchestral suite in D major - for male choir and Soloist
Arranged by Mykola Lukych Katsal (conductor)
Solo - Antonina Lisohorska (soprano)

Translation of reader`s poem:
Stop, please stop, because Autumn is still on fire.
Stop, look how the last leaves fly away.
Stop, pray: that's how soul flys away from the body,
And those troubled trees are like candles, standing around.

The rain settled in abandoned Autumn halls,
Winds destroyed Her proud lush altars.
There are so few things left in this performance of Life:
Just short note out of all those comedies and tragedies.

Will someone cry, or not?
Will anyone miss us, when we'll get rid of
everyday terrestrial gunpowder from our wings?
Let's remember dead Autumn's quiet goodness.
Please forgive us all our sins.
