Legacy edit

According to Bohdan Vesolovsky, the immediate impetus of his composing skills was the lack of Ukrainian entertainment music. At that time, Polish music dominated. Only quality could compete with it.[3] The song heritage of the composer includes more than 130 works. Songs of the first (Lviv) period are mainly tango, foxtrot, light waltz. The lyrics of these songs was mostly about love. In the following years, the songs acquired a bright civic sound ("Fly, sad song" and "Charm of the Carpathian Mountains").[3]

After the World War II songs by Vesolovsky were forbidden in USSR, though were performed anonymously. The revival of Veselovsky's music in Ukraine rises in 2000s. In 2001, with the participation of the composer's wife Olena Vesolovska (Zalizniak), the first collection of Vesolovsky's songs was published, which included 56 works.[4] Late a famous Ukrainian singer Oleh Skrypka recorded two albums based on Vesolovsky's songs found in Toronto - "My Heart is Vulnerable" (2009)[5] and "Dahlia" (2011).[6]

Since 2015 an annual Music festival in memory of Vesolovsky took place in Ukraine.[7]
