He is also a well-known patriot, best known as the composer of “My Kyiv,” which became the city’s official anthem. At the age of 17, he enlisted as a volunteer in the Red Army and served on the front lines from Stalingrad to Berlin as a medical orderly.\n\n◆ Emphasis on Folk Material and Traditional Techniques\nAlthough he sustained a leg injury during combat, upon his return he enrolled in the Kyiv State Conservatory, where he garnered attention by winning the school’s composition competition nearly every year; he also joined the Union of Ukrainian Composers while still a student. His talent attracted attention, and he was approached with an offer to move to Moscow, but Shamo, driven by a strong love for his homeland, declined. He forged his own unique path by incorporating folk musical elements and traditional classical techniques, along with chromaticism, French Impressionist-style color, and even elements of jazz, forging his own unique path. His style—in which melancholic sorrow and melancholy alternate with the exuberance inspired by dance music—captivates listeners, complemented by his exceptional pedaling technique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419251302689,"sku":"5063758976817","price":680.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5063758976817.jpg?v=1788227598","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-tw\/products\/5063758976817","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
