Ukrainian Folk Songs

by Humphrey Kowalsky

A short history of Ukrainian folk song by the Reverend Humphrey Kowalsky, published in Boston in 1925, with the songs in English as he goes. Carols, spring songs, Cossack and haidamak songs, and songs of work, of the family and of the road are all here. Among the carols is Shchedryk, the New Year song that the bandura in this room plays.
