Comment
A set of three silver commemorative coins is dedicated to one of the national musical symbols - the world-famous Christmas carol "Schedryk" decorated by Mykola Leontovych. From 1919 to 1924, the Ukrainian Republican Chapel, led by the outstanding conductor Oleksandr Koshyts, as a cultural representative of Ukraine, gave more than 600 concerts in world music centers. The pearl of the choir's repertoire was "Schedryk", which was performed on October 5, 1922 in the most prestigious hall of New York - Carnegie Hall. Subsequently, the American conductor of Ukrainian origin, Peter Vilgovsky, wrote a new text for "Shchedryk" and set the melody to the "language" of the symphony orchestra. This is how "Carol of the Bells" appeared, which became one of the most popular Christmas songs in the world, the melody of which resembles a carol.
