This class examines Ukrainian music from the 18th century through the present. It will study such representative composers as Bortniansky, Lysenko, Revutsky, Liatoshynsky, the Kyiv avant-garde of the 1960s (Sylvestrov, Hrabovsky, Hodzyatsky), and important figures of more recent generations, including those actively responding to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine (Poleva, Korsun, Grygoriv and Razumeiko). The course will investigate key historical and aesthetic developments and the continuing negotiations and assertions of national identity that characterize the development and evolution of Ukrainian music. Ukrainian music’s ongoing dialogue with other art forms will also be a focus (including fiction, poetry, and film).
