Al'manakh pershoho kraievoho konkursu khoriv u Halychyni: u storichchia narodyn Mykoly Lysenka [Almanac of the First Regional Choir Competition in Galicia: On the Centenary of Mykola Lysenko's Birth]

Lviv: Bildstelle des Pressechefs, 1943. Item #1168

This 62-page almanac, measuring 25 cm, is a Ukrainian-language publication from 1943 commemorating the centenary of Mykola Lysenko's birth. It details the first regional choir competition in Galicia, organized by the Ukrainian Central Committee's Cultural Work Department in Lviv. Though possibly missing its cover, the booklet provides a compelling glimpse into a pivotal cultural event during a challenging historical period. Despite its age, the almanac vividly captures the vibrancy of the Ukrainian choral scene at the time, featuring illustrations and portraits that enrich its historical significance.

As of August 2024, this is a very scarce publication, with OCLC locating only two copies: one at the Library of Congress and another at the Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe in Germany.
