Полiвекторнiсть життєтворчостi Станiслава Монюшка: украïнський сегмент

Abstract

The article reveals the combination of factors (Polish, Belarusian, Lithuanian, Russian, and most deeply – Ukrainian) that played a crucial role in the life and creative work of Stanisław Moniuszko. He was the father of Polish national opera. Emphasis was put on the place of Ukraine in the biography of Polish creative figures – Adam Mickiewicz and Karol Szymanowski, whose lives were closely connected with the region of Cherkasy. The activity of the creative tandem: Moniuszko – Mickiewicz is also analysed, as well as relations of the Polish composer with the Russian ones of Ukrainian or Polish origin. The variety of genres in Moniuszko’s musical heritage and the forms of its presentation in Ukraine were also discussed.
