Torban
The torban ( ua, Торбан, also ''teorban'' or ''Ukrainian theorbo'') is a Ukrainian musical instrument that combines the features of the Baroque lute with those of the psaltery. The Тorban differs from the more common European bass lute known as the theorbo in that it had additional short unfretted treble strings (known as ''prystrunky'') strung along the treble side of the soundboard. Overview It appeared ca. 1700, probably influenced by the central European Theorbo and the Angelique which, according to Ukrainian sources Cossack mercenaries would have encountered in the Thirty Years' War. According to Marcin Ludwicki and Roman Turovsky, the torban's inventor was Tuliglowski, a Paulite monk from Jasna Gora. The Torban was manufactured and used mainly in Ukraine, but also occasionally encountered in neighbouring Poland and Russia (only 3 luthiers could be identified from the surviving instruments). There are about 40 torbans in museums around the world, with the largest gr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kobza
The kobza ( uk , кобза), also called bandurka ( uk , бандурка) is a Ukrainian folk music instrument of the lute family ( Hornbostel-Sachs classification number 321.321-5+6), a relative of the Central European mandora. The term ''kobza'' however, has also been applied to a number of other Eastern European instruments distinct from the Ukrainian kobza.

The kobza has a medium-length neck which may or may not have tied-on frets, which were usually made of gut. It was single-strung (sometimes also double-strung) and the strings were played with fingertips or occasionally with a plectrum threaded through a ring placed on the middle finger. History The term kobza is of Turkic origin and is related to the terms kobyz and komuz, thought to have been introduced into the Ukrainian la ...

Taras Bulba (opera)
''Taras Bulba'' is an opera in four acts by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko. The libretto was written for Lysenko by his cousin Mykhailo Starytsky, and is based on Nikolai Gogol's novella ''Taras Bulba''. The story was about a Cossack who discovers his son has betrayed their own people, and kills him. The opera, which was unrevised at the time of the composer's death in 1912, was first performed in 1924. Present-day performances are however based on revised versions of the opera carried out during the 1930s and 1950s, all of which altered the text, music and orchestration. Performance history The Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko worked on his opera ''Taras Bulba'' from 1880 to 1891. He insisted that all performances of the work should be sung in Ukrainian, which prevented any productions during his lifetime. Intent on elevating Ukrainian culture to a level commensurate with European standards, he refused to allow the opera to be translated. Lysenko maintained the opera ...
