Garden of Songs by Ivan Karabyts

Lyubov Kiyanovska "Garden of Songs of Ivan Karabyts"

This book presents the amazing fate of a boy from Donbass, who heard his first music in the mining Artemivsk, and became one of the most prominent Ukrainian composers. The monograph on the life and work of Ivan Karabyts goes beyond purely musicological research: it is a document about a difficult era in which, in addition to the hero of the story, great composers created their gardens: Reinhold Glier, Boris Lyatoshynsky, Miroslav Skoryk, Valentin Silvestrov.

"Everyone in his life can go the way of culture - or, as philosophers say, the way of Caesar - and the way of grain, ie the way of germination and fruiting. This is the way of grain is the life of Ivan Karabyts.

It is believed that an important aspect of finding meaning in life is to make at least one person happy. Music Karabitsa gives us all the happiness of involvement in real art that lights the light in our souls… Music Karabitsa is part of the arsenal of vitality of modern man.

“… I can't get used to the fact that Ivan left… he just worked without shouting, without tearing his embroidered shirt. But the world knew from his works that there is such a Ukraine. "

“Remembering Ivan Karabyts, an outstanding musician and a sensitive, noble man, I now understand the priceless gift of friendship with people like him. The memory of him is sacred to me. Karabitsa's hospitality was a direct continuation of his bright image and moral height. Today, everyone can feel the hospitality of his creative world. "
