The
“Hutsul Rhapsody” is an expression of the composer’s fascination with the
traditional music of the Hutsuls, a Ukrainian ethnic group that lives in the
Carpathian mountains in the Western Ukraine. The work builds upon the
peculiarities of Hutsul traditions, the modalities of the music, particularly as
performed on the Hutsul tsymbaly, a type of hammered dulcimer with metal
strings that are struck with wooden hammers.
