Phillip Sear plays a 1958 song by the Ukrainian composer Platon Maiboroda (Платон Іларіонович Майборода, 1918-89).
----------------------------------------------------
Maiboroda was born in the Poltava district of Ukraine, and studied at the Gliere Music College (where he later taught) and the Kyiv Conservatory. His older brother Heorhiy Maiboroda, who also studied at the Gliere college, was also a composer. Platon is (I believe) remembered today for some songs, and also a series of scores for Soviet films. He was made a National Artist of the Ukraine in 1968 (and of the Soviet Union in 1979).

I quote from Lyricstranslate.com: "[Рідна Мати Моя] is a popular Ukrainian song based on a poem by Andriy Malyshko as the remembering confession of a lyrical hero where his mother is giving him a towel-cloth as a sign of a life path. It was set to music by [Maiboroda] for the soundtrack of the 1958 Soviet film 'Young Years' (Ukrainian: Літа молодії). The song was later popularized by Dmytro Hnatyuk, who is most often associated with this song. It has since been sung by such singers as Kvitka Cisyk, Yaroslav Evdokimov, Aleksandr Malinin, Alla Pugacheva, Igor Krutoy, Syabry, and Renata Babak." ( t.ly/Li3b ).

This arrangement was published in a 1960s Ukrainian anthology of piano arrangements of contemporary popular songs. You can hear it sung with orchestra here: [ Ссылка ] .
