They were the first ships of indepen- dent Ukraine to show the Ukrainian col- ors in a U.S. port. As the frigate Sahaidachny and the landing ship Olshansky docked at Norfolk’s Pier 5 in the drizzling morn- ing rain, they were greeted by the com- manders of the naval base, a large group of their countrymen from the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington and some Ukrainian Americans, formations of U.S. seamen and a U.S. Navy band playing popular American march tunes. During the official welcoming ceremo- ny at the pier, Rear Adm. Bill Cole, com- mander of Norfolk Naval Base, praised the Ukrainian sailors for their courage. (The three-week voyage from Sevastopil included some stormy weather in the Yaro Bihun Atlantic.)

In the post-Soviet period, since the late 80s and early 90s, a number of composers have explored new directions in creative styles thanks to new political and cultural freedoms. This study focuses on Valentyn Silvestrov’s unique Sonata for Violin and Piano “Post Scriptum” (1990), investigating its musical details and their meaning in its post- Soviet compositional context. The purpose is to contribute to a broader overview of Ukraine’s classical music tradition, especially as it relates to national identity and the ii current cultural and political state of the country.

    MYROSLAV SKORYK AND HIS ORCHESTRATION OF PAGANINI’S CAPRICES by Lyubov Kyjanovska Myroslav Skoryk is one of the most prominent composers in Ukraine. He is the author of a diverse body of works, which includes opera, ballets, cantatas, instrumental concertos, orchestral works and instrumental and vocal chamber compositions; he has also written incidental and flm music. He has a chair in composition at the Lysenko Music Academy in Lviv,1 teaches composition at the National Music Academy in Kyiv, and in spring 2011 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the National Opera in Kyiv. Skoryk was born on 13 July 1938 in Lviv. His family was deeply connected with the intellectual life of western Ukraine. His parents were educators: his mother was a chemistry teacher and his father a director of the gymnasium in Sambir, a small town in western Ukraine. Skoryk’s grandfather was a well-known ethnographer, and his grandmother’s sister was the world-famous operatic soprano Solomija Krushelnytska.2 It was indeed Skoryk’s renowned great-aunt who recognised his musical talent at an early stage and encouraged him to study music. He began his musical education in the Music School at the Lviv Conservatoire, but it did not last long. Krushelnytska was unfortunate enough to be visiting her sisters in western Ukraine in September 1939 when the Soviet army invaded. She was never able to return to her home in Italy; she was then forced by the Soviet authorities to ‘sell’ all 1 Lviv (the name is sometimes transliterated as L’viv) is the most important city in western Ukraine (and eastern Galicia).

  • Cornerstones of the Ukrainian Violin Repertoire 1870 – Present Day
    Cornerstones of the Ukrainian violin repertoire 1870 – present day Carissa Klopoushak Schulich School of Music McGill University Montreal, Quebec January 2013 A doctoral paper submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Music in Performance Studies © Carissa Klopoushak 2013 i Abstract: The unique violin repertoire by Ukrainian composers is largely unknown to the rest of the world. Despite cultural and political oppression, Ukraine experienced periods of artistic flurry, notably in the 1920s and the post-Khrushchev “Thaw” of the 1960s. During these exciting and experimental times, a greater number of substantial works for violin began to appear. The purpose of the paper is one of recovery, showcasing the cornerstone works of the Ukrainian violin repertoire. An exhaustive history of this repertoire does not yet exist in any language; this is the first resource in English on the topic. This paper aims to fill a void in current scholarship by recovering this substantial but neglected body of works for the violin, through detailed discussion and analysis of selected foundational works of the Ukrainian violin repertoire. Focusing on Maxym Berezovs´kyj, Mykola Lysenko, Borys Lyatoshyns´kyj, Valentyn Sil´vestrov, and Myroslav Skoryk, I will discuss each composer's life, oeuvre at large, and influences, followed by an in-depth discussion of his specific cornerstone work or works. I will also include cultural, musicological, and political context when applicable. Each chapter will conclude with a discussion of the reception history of the work or works in question and the influence of the composer on the development of violin writing in Ukraine.

    The Lohengrin on the other side of the Carpathians1 The sacred power, the wonder of my order, the strength with which my secret arms me, I wished to dedicate to the service of that purest heart: Why did you wring that secret from me? Now, alas, I must be parted from you! **** Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum, Solve polluti Labii reatum, Sancte Ioannes. The Prelude 1. In mid-1800’s, long before Ernest Hemingway labelled Paris ‘a moveable feast’, a German composer Richard Wagner moved to Paris in the hopes to better deal with his Germanness, which he for some reason felt as a somewhat inferior trait for a man of culture. Wagner wrote in French and generally believed Paris to be the “capital city of the nineteenth century”. He badly dreamed of recognition by the French cultural establishment and would not take anything else for success. Although Wagner’s younger friend, Friedrich Nietzsche, claimed Wagner’s only true home was Paris, Wagner’s relationship with Paris was ambivalent. 2. In 1845 Richard Wagner returned from Paris to Dresden, and, quite distressed at the move, worked as a Kapellmeister at the Royal Dresden Court. By then he gained support from King Ludwig II of Bavaria and was a successful composer. Wagner was working on several musical pieces, when someone left a book of German fairytales on his desk. Richard took the book with him to Marienbad in Karlovy Vary where he went for fashionable health treatment with his wife Cosima. Wagner got absorbed by old German stories and seemed to believe that history and myth were all the same, which may of course be true from the standpoint of culture, and that is all what mattered to Richard Wagner.
