The celebration in Lviv of Liudkevych’s 100th birthday was a big success. The composer’s path was literally strewn with flowers (in the middle of winter). After the concert, he was carried out of the concert hall on the audience’s shoulders. Lviv was electrified by the occasion. But a natural question arises: why were all the events staged in the small hall of the music conservatory? Why couldn’t a larger space be found to accomodate the great crowds that filled the streets for the occasion? And how about recordings of his works? We in the West have published nothing, while in Ukraine, there have been rather few of his releases. Nevertheless, today Stanyslav Liudkevych is the oldest and most outstanding living Ukrainian composer. A contemporary of Lysenko, Franko, a member of the Shevchenko Society til 1939, he also received personal honors in the USSR. He was named Honored Artist of the Republic and was chosen as Deputy to the Supreme Council. In 1964, during the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Shevchenko’s birth Liudkevych was awarded the Shevchenko Prize. Let us honor the composer on his 100th birthday with a concert of his works which are forbidden in Ukraine today; with a new record release; with a special session of the Shevchenko Society: with publication of memoirs of his students and younger colleagues. Let us write that which cannot be written in Ukraine. Let all Ukrainian artists honor Liudkevych by remembering his credo that ’’even the greates artists are not exempt from the obligation of devoting their art to their nation.” What can we wish this great composer on his 100th birthday? Health — and the joy of being able to hear all his works performed again. (Transl. by A. H. S.) THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM • 203 SECOND AVENUE, NEW YORK, N.
