The main genre of the works of Yury Siemianiaka was the song. He wrote more than 300 songs, mainly to the poems of Belarusian poets. The songs about the Motherland were one of the main themes of his songwriting, and these songs are full of tender feelings and light colors.

The songs of the composer are in the repertoire of such ensembles as Песняры, Сябры, Верасы. He is the author of 4 operas (the most famous are Зорка Венера (Star Venus) based on the works of M.

Kolas), musical comedies, cantatas, Belarusian operetta (musical comedy Павлинка (Pavlinka) based on Kupala’s play), music to films, radio and television dramas.
