St. Basil in Yavoriv, Ukraine. He had a congregation of half a million
people, and he needed help. This is the story of the 100 years of

"Come Let Us Worship" performed by the
Sisters of St. Basil of Ukraine
CD
The works presented here consist of hymns sung
during the Divine Liturgy, Vespers
and Matins, and represent a number
of different styles that span several
centuries. We begin with monody
(chant), which had its beginnings in the Patristic
Period of the 2nd to the 8th centuries,
and which is represented here by
"My Lord's Embrace" and "Irmos from the Great Canon
of Andrew of Crete" (7th
century). The hymn "It is Truly Right
to Bless You" is an example of late
17th century znamenny chant. Classical
Ukrainian church music from the 17th
and 18th centuries is represented by
works of Dmytro Bortniansky ("Our Father")
and the chants of Dmytro Tuptalo
("Merciful Mother" and "I Will Bring Praise"). In the 19th and
early
20th centuries composers began arranging
ancient traditional choral melodies
into polyphonic masterpieces, examples
of which are Andrew Hnatyshynês
"Blessed is the Man" and Mykola Leontovychês
"Canticle of Simeon" and "Cherubimic
Hymn". Choral church music of the 19th century is
also represented here by Kyrylo Stetsenkoês
"Thrice-Holy Hymn" and Maksym Kopkoês
"Alleluia".
This collection also includes the works
of two Russian composers noted for
their unique tonalities: Alexander
Arkhangelsky ("Only Begotten Son"),
and T. Rumyantseva ("Anaphora").
Our historical tour of Ukrainian sacred
music concludes with two compositions
of a contemporary composer, Volodymyr
Fainer, whose style carries us back
to Baroque polyphony ("Come, Let Us
Worship" and "O Joyful Light").
The compositions are sung in Ukrainian and in Church
Slavonic.

Ukrainians of the Delaware Valley by
Alexander Lushnycky, Ph.D
At the dawn of the 20th century, the
industrializing world provided
Ukrainians an opportunity to immigrate
to America to lead free and honorable
lives. Ukrainians of the Delaware Valley
illustrates the Ukrainiansê ongoing
saga, commencing with the late 19th
century when they disembarked to the
Delaware Valley and continuing to the
present, as they gradually integrated
into their American communities. The
Ukrainiansê common purpose was to
preserve their unique eastern culture,
cherished daily customs, and elaborate
traditions embalmed in the mysteries of
their eastern religion in the new
surroundings. Ukrainians of the Delaware
Valley documents how each new generation
of immigrants added to the kaleidoscope
of Ukrainian communities in 17 of the
boroughs of the Delaware Valley.
Alexander Lushnycky, Ph.D., a well-known
educator and researcher, is one of the
leading authorities on the history of
Ukrainian immigration in the United
States. Born in Lviv, Ukraine, he was
raised in the United States. His
numerous bilingual publications include
Ukrainians of Pennsylvania and
Ukrainians of Greater Philadelphia. He
currently serves as the regional
director for the Encyclopedia of
Ukrainian Diaspora in the United States
and is executive vice president of the
Ukrainian Educational Council of the
United States.

Christ Our Pascha The Catechism for the Ukrainian Catholic Church is called "Christ Our Pascha" because the central idea is that the source of our Christian life of faith is the Risen Christ. In the liturgical language of our Church we participate in the Passover of Christ hence in the new life in Christ. This new life grows to maturity in spiritual development and moral effort. Therefore, there are two fundamental resources for understanding this catechism. They are the Nicene Creed and the liturgical anaphora of St Basil the Great.
