Mykola Leontovych
Mykola Leontovych specialised in a cappella choral music. He is remembered today mostly through the musical works he left behind, which include over 150 choral compositions. These range from artistic arrangements of folk songs, religious works (including his liturgy), cantatas, and choral compositions set to the words of various Ukrainian poets. His two most famous works are the choral miniatures "Schedryk" and "Dudaryk".
Karol Szymanowski
Among Szymanowski's better known orchestral works are four symphonies (including No. 3, "Song of the Night" with choir and vocal soloists, and No. 4, "Symphonie Concertante", with piano concertante) and two violin concertos. His stage works include the ballets "Harnasie" and "Mandragora" and the operas "Hagith" and "Król Roger" ('King Roger'). He wrote much piano music, including the four "Études", Op. 4 (of which No. 3 was once his single most popular piece), many mazurkas and "Métopes". Other works include the "Three Myths" for violin and piano, "Nocturne and Tarantella", two string quartets, a sonata for violin and piano, a number of orchestral songs (some to texts by Hafiz and James Joyce) and his "Stabat Mater".
