		Music has always been an important part of human life both in Ukraine and Russia; songs were used to make monotonous work easier to carry out, it was used to celebrate and it was used to go through unpleasant experiences.
		Studying music therapy in Germany and listening to the lecturer in the classroom, I began to realise more and more that I had to forget about general principles of the influence of music and that I had to come closer to an individual understanding of its meaning for a concrete person.
		Thereby sessions of receptive music therapy were good for starting a therapy process, while active forms of using music showed their high effectiveness in continuing psychotherapeutic treatment, even in the context of a short-term therapy.

		An important Ukrainian folk music genre well-represented on these discs is that of the troyisti muzyky (trio musicians) an ensemble which traditionally included a fiddle, drums, and tsymbaly (a type of hammered dulcimer related to the Hungarian cimbalon).
		Such an appreciation of shared musical styles by East Europeans of various nationalities was probably the chief factor in the resounding success of fiddler Pawlo Humeniuk's "Ukrainske Wesilie" (Ukrainian Wedding), a recording which we are lucky to be able to hear once again, half a century after its first release in 1926.

	TORBAN > ITS MUSIC
		A third type of Ukrainian melody is encountered in the "dumy," so much so that it is often referred to as the "duma mode," the Dorian mode with a sharpened fourth degree.
		Ukrainian folk song can be divided into 3 broad aesthetic categories (a deliberate if necessary oversimplification...): The first is an archaic type of modal "a Capella" song in which a phrase sung by a soloist is answered by a choral phrase in 2- or 3- voice vertical polyphony/heterophony/harmony.
		The vocal inflection here is quite mediaeval in character, and some peculiarities of distinctly Ukrainian flavor are noticeable, such as parallel fifths and octaves, and/or plagal cadences in which the perfect fifth is a leading note to the tonic in cadential figures which move from IV to I in final resolutions.
