This dance was written the Saturday after the invasion of Ukraine. In London the weather was fine. I went out walking but kept thinking of those suffering far away. The combination of the yellow sun in a pale blue sky reminded me of the Ukrainian flag which gave me the title.

Later, <<ddp:Joubert, Wouter#3179>> kindly offered his tune *<<ddt:And when it rains...#14702>>* which he has dedicated "in support of peace and to all those who are bullied by tyrants".

Wouter has made a 4x32 recording of this (with three other tunes) which is available via <<https://my.strathspey.org/u/murrough/recording/>>.
