The World of Mykola Lysenko follows the development of Ukrainian musical culture in the second part of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Questions of ethnic identity, music, and politics are discussed in the context of the Ukrainian cultural milieu. The authors profile the founder of the Ukrainian national school of music, Mykola Lysenko, composer, music folklorist, pianist, pedagogue and prominent public figure. A recognized leader among Eastern European ethnomusicologists and composers, Lysenko derived his creative inspiration from songs of his native land and was an ardent promoter of Ukrainian folk music.
Unique photos of public and cultural figures, composers, writers, artists, historians, and ethnographers are featured. Extensive materials reconstruct a broad panorama of the civic and cultural life of Ukraine at the turn of the 20th century. Much of the material presented is published for the very first time.
The book is intended for the general public, as well as for scholars and students interested in Eastern European, Ukrainian, and Russian studies.
Winner of the Publishers' Prize of Ukraine for 2001.
