Conclusions. One of the newest collections of solo singing works, based on Lina Kostenko’s lyrics appeared at the beginning of 2016. It has got a symbolic and catchy title, which is rooted in Lina Kostenko’s poetry, «There is a Golden Cradle among the Roses». This solo singing of Bohdana Filts ushers in her collection, elaborating on the topics of creativity and the essence of poetry. Solo singing works, entitled «In the Evil and Frigid World», «Early in the Morning while Acacias Still Asleep», and «The Unwritten Letter» have been composed for the literary-musical composition that was entitled «Today is the Day…» that was written on the basis of Lina Kostenko’s works and then performed on the 15th of February, 2016 in the Mykola Lysenko Column Hall of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine. The romance «Do you remember…» which was a sequel to the topics of preceding works, addresses the most clandestine strings of human life: the Mystery of Love. The «In Hetman Ivan Sulyma’s Estate» solo singing work revives the victorious image of Ukrainian Cossacks. In her collection «The Golden Cradle», based on Lina Kostenko’s lyrics, the prominent composer Bohdana Filts is skilfully relaying on the plot of poetic works, building them up into a dramatically developed composition containing a set of dimensions, ranging from philosophical comprehension of creativity, historical parallels between the bravery of the Ukrainians of yore and the Ukrainians of our times, and up to intricate intimate emotional experiences. «The Golden Cradle» collection will be of crucial importance to the development of the repertoire of Ukrainian vocal and piano concerts and will contribute to the cause of upbringing of the younger generation of vocalists and piano performers.
