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".
Fyodor Stravinsky
Stravinsky was also known as an active advocate of the music by Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko, often performing the role of Mykola in the opera "Natalka Poltavka". Fyodor also posed as a Ukrainian Cossack for Ilya Repin's famous painting "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire".
