QuoteOf course, once again, I have to add the "Carol of the Bells" (Shchedryk) which is one of my favorite Christmas songs: Merry Christmas, Ukrainian Style.
A bit of history about the song along with different versions: The Unknown Ukrainian Carol that everyone knows -Euromaidan Press |
Do you have a album title or an artist name by a chance?! Would like to hear some more of that music :)
Oops, I just saw this. Sorry, Frands.
My husband was Ukrainian so what little I know came from him. When searching Mykola Leontovych, I did discover that when I originally created the Christmas video with Windows Movie Maker (Ukrainian Christmas - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmIfMm83xZQ)), the background music is the same as what came up in the search for Mykola (Michael).
There is a very lengthy bio of him on YouTube: Mykola Leontovych - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MppOBO8G_j8).
I found quite a few results when searching for Ukrainian Folk Music but not sure what you are looking for.
Thank you very much for your reply and links, Corrine! :) I'm just looking out for some traditional Ukrainian folk music. I have found one full album so far.:

I've asked a friend for some suggestions for you. BTW, the instrument shown on the album cover is a bandura, the national instrument of Ukraine.
