Subject: [SEELANGS] correct Ukrainian orthography?

Dear colleagues:

An old Ukrainian folk musician, Pawlo H., has just made history in the
USA, by being included in the Library of Congress's annual honors list
of great sound recordings of the past.  (Excerpts from the LC's media
announcement are attached below, with the Ukrainian violinist Number
8 in the honors list.)  But the LC cannot seem to decide how to SPELL
his surname.

Can any of you historians, either of Ukrainian culture or of folk music,
perhaps establish the CORRECT orthography for his surname?  I'll be
glad to forward the correct spelling to the LC's press representative,
in case they need to make some correction in their official honors
list. -- Steven P Hill, University of Illinois.

leaders in the fields of music, recorded sound and preservation. [ .... ]

Performed by Fanny Brice in the .Ziegfeld Follies of 1921,. .My Man. & .2d

on a double-faced 78-rpm disc. Known for her comedic songs in Yiddish

.My Man.. Audiences, connecting strongly with her passionate performance,
concluded she was singing about herself. .2d Hand Rose. was a follow-up
to a previous hit song,.Rose of Washington Square,. & was a rare instance

8.        .Tanec pid werbamy/Dance Under the Willows,. a Ukrainian violin
solo with cymbaly, bass and sleigh bells, Pawlo Huemiuk (1926)
Pawlo Humeniuk was a renowned violin player in Ukranian communities
before beginning his recording career with Columbia, for which he made
this dance number. He learned violin in western Ukraine at the age of 6
and enjoyed a busy career playing concerts, dances and vaudeville
theaters. The song is an excellent example of the ethnic releases that
record labels began to produce in the 1920's for sale to immigrant
communities in the United States.
