Abstract

The purpose of the research is to investigate the contribution of H. Skupynsky in Ukrainian and world music and to identify and to eliminate gaps in the study of life and creative activity of the Hollywood composer. Methodology. Methods of historiographical, biographical, comparative and contextual analysis have been applied. In particular, the biographical method allowed revealing and eliminating the gaps in the life and creativity of H. Skupynsky in Ukraine (in Bukovina) and helped to follow the change of the artist's creative orientation after his move to the United States. The historiographical method was used for the analysis of the social and cultural significance of the composer's work in his homeland and in emigration, and the comparative and contextual method helped to conclude the research results in the panorama of the historical, cultural and musicological portrait of H. Skupynsky. Scientific novelty consists in the fact that this research reveals the unknown historycal pages of the formation of such legendary musical groups as "Chervona Ruta" and "Smerichka", shows the role of H. Skupynsky in this process and for the first time describes his work, based on the Ukrainian national specific of the Bukovinian musical motifs. Conclusions. The analysis of the special literature reveals the importance of comprehension of the figure of Hamma Skupynskyi in the processes of hidden cultural devel- opment of art and music during the Soviet period. As music art need to be realized through a recipient and cannot exist by itself, as for example literature, Hamma Skupynskyi became famous abroad, in Canada and USA, being Ukrainian in his heart, a soul-mate with the Ukrainian composers of the “continent Ukraine”. Creation of the world of “Ukrainianity” is a significant factor for the implementation of foreign relationships of Ukraine, providing a positive international mutual influ- ence and developing economic and cultural potential.
