Collection of 14 issues from one series of music scores of Ukrainian folk songs. Back covers list all the pamphlets that were released by the Paris bookstore and publisher ‘Kobzar’. This enterprise was founded soon after World War II was over, but most likely owners moved later abroad along with Ukrainian residents of DP camps. The series opened with legendary ‘Shche ne vmerla Ukraina’ (Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished), which later became the national and then the state anthem of the Ukrainian state. The Ukrainian ethnographer, folklorist and poet P. Chubinsky wrote the poem in 1862. The famous composer of that time and priest M. Verbitsky, inspired by this poem, wrote music for the poems and performed
the composition for the first time. The poem was first published in 1863, accompanied with sheet music in 1865. In 1917, the composition “Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished” began to be used as the national anthem of Ukraine.
Among others are popular and historically important folk songs. For instance, “Hei, tam na hori Sich ide” is a Cossacks song written on the occasion of the first Sich gathering in Kolomyia in 1902. The event played a major role in raising the national consciousness of the Ukrainian population of sub-Austrian Ukraine. Ukrainian dance “arkan” was an element of the rite of initiation of a 20-year-old Hutsul youth into a lehin. After passing the rite, he was given the right to dance, carry a shepherd's axe, kill enemies and gird himself with a wide belt.
