Yevhen Adamtsevych
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yevhen Oleksandrovych Adamtsevych (19/XII/1904-1/I/1972)
(Zheplynsky states that Andamtsevych was born 1/1/1904 and died 20/XI/1972)
Yevhen Adamtsevych was born in the village of Solonytsia, not far from the town of Lubny, Poltava oblast. He passed away in 1972 in the village of Kholmivka in Crimea.
Adamtsevych became blind in his childhood. He lived in Romny where he became apprenticed to bandurist M. P. Oleksienko. He began to perform solo from 1927.
In 1939 he participated in the conference of kobzars which took place in Kyiv, and in 1940 a conference on folk singers which took place in Moscow.
His repertoire included many historic Ukrainian folk songs, however it did not contain any authentic dumy.
He did however have an epic work in his repertoire, structured somewhat like a duma to the words of M. Vorony - "Yevshan-Zillia".
Adamtsevych is known as the composer of the "Zaporozhian March" which was later orchestrated by Viktor Hutsal and was included in the repertoire of the Ukrainian State Orchestra of Ukrainian Folk Instruments in Kyiv.
