Abstract: 

The song and folklore component of the Lviv musical culture of the end of the 19th and 20th centuries is revealed. The song and folklore component in the musical life of Lviv at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries was presented in many directions, namely: in artistic and stage activities, performing interpretations, composer stylistics and in the musical and educational sphere.

Аn attempt to make a historical analysis of the development of the musical life of Lviv at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries in the context of the Ukrainian song and folklore tradition. The Ukrainian song became not only a component of the spiritual superstructure, but also a means of education, national self-identification, performed specific aesthetic, social and communicative functions.

In Ukrainian professional art, to a greater extent than in many other national cultures, the connection with folklore origins has been preserved and comprehensively developed. That is why among the Ukrainian intelligentsia – writers, philologists, historians, musicians, composers – interest in the folklore of their native land grew. In vocal and choral music, the genre of folk processing (processing of folk song samples by professional means) has become widespread, folk songs serve as a melodic basis for vocal, instrumental works, and orchestral compositions, which testifies to their powerful aesthetic and artistic potential.

The Ukrainian song became not only a component of the spiritual superstructure, but also a means of education, national self-identification, performed specific aesthetic, social and communicative functions.Ukrainian song folklore as a means of national-social expression is highlighted. The self-awareness of the Ukrainian nation for centuries has been exerted in the musical arts (most in song creation) as a form of national-social expression. Only thanks to this Ukrainians managed to survive as a nation and not to lose their culture. Ukrainian singing was also used as a form that provided ample opportunity for the realization of the educational aspirations of the Galician intelligentsia. A historical analysis of the development of musical life of Lviv at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries in the context of the Ukrainian song and folklore tradition was made. It is determined that the level of song culture of the people of Galicia is a vivid indicator of its general spiritual development.

Keywords: Ukrainian folk song, song and folklore tradition, musical culture, musical life of Lviv.
