CREATIVE ACTIVITY OF O. VICTOR MATYUK IN COVERING MUSICAL CRITICISM OF HALYCHYNA UNTIL 1939

Abstract

The printed publications of the Ukrainian press of Halychyna up to 1939 were investigated, which covered the biography, music-public and pedagogical activity, creative heritage of the priest and composer V. Matyuk.
Chronological and typological groups of publications are systematized. The main directions and content of the press publications are analyzed. In particular, considerable attention was paid to music-critical publications by V. Matyuk and articles by other authors that covered the composer's creative portrait. The scientifically popular and source materials of I. Bilykovsky, V. Bilotserkivskyi, V. Vytvytskyi, B. Kudryk, S. Lyudkevych, V. Shchurat and others formed a very informative and meaningful layer of V. Matyuk's historiography. It is determined that the printed materials of the Ukrainian press of Halychyna up to 1939 are an extremely important source of information about the creative activity of the artist. These materials also formed a solid basis for subsequent studies of his heritage.
