Ukrainian songs with sheet music. [Issue 3], hundred 2

“Ukrainian Songs with Sheet Music” is the second part of the valuable series of collections of Ukrainian folk songs compiled by the renowned folklorist and musicologist Andrii Konoschenko (Hrabenko) (1857–1932). Published in Odesa in 1902 at the expense of Y. I. Fesenko's printing house, the collection includes 100 songs recorded with sheet music, which is an example of a professional approach to the preservation of musical folklore.

Andrii Konoshchenko began collecting folklore in the second half of the 19th century, recording about 400 songs in the territories of the present-day Poltava, Kherson, Odesa, and Kirovohrad regions, which at that time remained largely unexplored. His research is distinguished not only by its broad geography, but also by its deep professionalism: each song is accompanied by detailed documentation, an indication of the place of recording, and musical notation, which makes it possible to reproduce the melody.

The second collection, like the first and third (published in 1900 and 1906 in Odesa and Kyiv), represents a rich genre spectrum of Ukrainian folklore: historical, calendar-ritual, family-and-everyday-life,labor migrant  migrant songs, etc. Although the fourth hundred of songs was compiled, it remained unpublished.
