Seminar in Ukrainian Studies

This anthology of Ukrainian carols is a prism through which Ukraine’s history, culture, and vibrant spirit are revealed. Along with music scores, it shares the stories behind each carol: historical context, biographies of composers, and explanations of winter rituals. Written during Russia’s war on Ukraine, the book is also journalistic. These carols often carry gripping narratives of a unique choral activism that has helped Ukraine, its language, and its people to survive.
