Mykhailo Verbytsky Felix Petyrek Franz Schreker 1862 1863 1864 1892 1920 1951
Phillip Sear plays the first piece from a 1920 set of arrangements of 24 Ukrainian folksongs, made by the Austrian composer Felix Petyrek +••.••(...)). / Petyrek was born in Brno (now in the Czech Republic). After music studies in Vienna (with Franz Schreker, inter alia) he was posted to a prisoner-of-war camp in during the First World War, where he collected folk songs from prisoners of many nationalities, and maybe this is where he encountered Ukrainian songs. Thereafter, he taught at the Salzburg Mozarteum, and then in Athens, Stuttgart, and Leipzig. Actually, though portrayed in this collection as a traditional song, this was in 1920 (and remains today) the Ukrainian national anthem. Per Wikipedia "The lyrics constitute a slightly modified version of the first stanza of a patriotic poem written in 1862 by the poet Pavlo Chubynsky, a prominent ethnographer from Kyiv. In 1863, Mykhailo Verbytsky, a western Ukrainian composer and Greek-Catholic priest, composed music to accompany Chubynsky's text. The first choral performance of the piece was at the Ukraine Theatre in Lviv, in 1864."

Vasyl Barvinsky Lysenko Petyrek Vítězslav Novák 1888 1915 1925 1948 1963
Phillip Sear plays the fourth piece (not the third, as per the incorrect video titles!) piece from a 1925 set of 5 'Miniaturen über ukrainische Volkslieder' (Miniatures based on Ukrainian Folk Songs). They are by the Ukrainian composer, pianist, conductor, teacher and musicologist, Vasyl Barvinsky (Василь Олександрович Барвінський, 1888-1963). / Barvinsky was born in Ternopil, in western Ukraine, and studied at the Lviv Conservatory, and later in Prague. From 1915 to 1948 he directed the Lysenko Higher Institute of Music in Lviv. However, in 1948 he fell foul of the Soviet authorities, and was jailed for 10 years, and some of his music was destroyed by the NKVD (he tried to reconstruct some of it upon his release). A music school in Drohobych, near Lviv, is named after him. You can read more about his life and works here: t.ly/SiGW These folk song arrangements are much more lightly scored than those by Petyrek, which I have featured in my channel. This one reminds me of the style of the composer's teacher in Prague, Vítězslav Novák.
