Myroslav Skorik: Spanish Dance

Violin by Valeriy Sokolov
Piano by Svetlana Kosenko

About the composer:
Skoryk [Skorik], Myroslav Mykhaylovych
Born in Lwów [now L′viv], 13 July 1938. Ukrainian composer and teacher. Skoryk entered the L′viv Music School in 1945, but in 1947 he and his family were deported to Siberia and were not permitted to return to Ukraine until 1955. He entered the L′viv Conservatory where he studied composition with Lyudkevych and Simovych among others; he then studied with Kabalevsky at the Moscow Conservatory (196064). He then joined the staff of the L′viv Conservatory and in 1967 that of the Kiev Conservatory, where he remained until 1988 teaching composers who include Balakauskas, Karabyts and Stankovych. He has occupied posts within the Ukrainian Composers' Union, has won the Shevchenko Prize in 1985 for his Cello Concerto and holds the title People's Artist of Ukraine. He is also active as a musicologist and editor of music publications.

Unlike many of his countrymen who adopted an avant-garde stance in the 1960s, from around that time Skoryk largely relied on Carpatho-Ukrainian folklore in his works, firstly attracting attention with the Hutsuls′ky tryptykh (Hutsul Triptych) derived from his score for Sergey Paradzhanov's film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors. In subsequent orchestral works (First Violin Concerto and Cello Concerto) he developed a style in which a work is built from short melismas derived from the synthesis of idiomatic folk rhythms and melodic formulae which often succeed in asymmetrical phrases expanding by means of troping. In the 1990s he began to utilize various elements of popular music, earlier found in the Fifth Partita for piano in modo retro (1975). Skoryk's works have been performed across Europe and the USA.
