life Father Michael Verbitsky never experienced fame as the author of the national anthem. And the music for "Ukraine is still alive," he wrote for solo songs was performed with a guitar. This was told Ph.D. Basil Pan visiting Project « Historical etc.Abda with Vakhtang Kipiani » (Every Sunday at 22:30, Thursdays at 22:00 on Channel ZIK). &Laquo; That first song « Ukraine is still alive » conceived as a guitar solo song, seen from the original notation, which is stored in the department of manuscripts Scientific Library. Stefanik, – noted historian. &Ndash; In addition,it was a favorite instrument of guitar Father Michael Verbitsky. He thoroughly mastered playing the guitar & raquo ;.
