Biography

My name is Kathleen, and I created Hoodoolab with my husband in order to organize, share and collaborate
with other artists and organizations. I’m originally from Edmonton, and a descendant from the Ukraine. I work
in several different types of media, and in the past few years I’ve been focusing strongly on folk art. Pysanky
is one of my favorite things to make, and I have a large collection I would like to share.

Notes

I’m currently living in Galicia, so I’m not available to come teach or demo at the moment. I often come
back to Edmonton every year, so I would like to be in touch about offering Pysanky classes. I sell my Pysanky,
and I can arrange to have it sent to ACUA to sell in the shop or for an exhibition

Raphael Lopatka

No Photo Available
Personal Email: [email protected]INTERNET
Biography

(1) Vocal, choral arrangements of Ukrainian Christmas carols.
(2) Instrumental arrangements of Ukrainian carols and folk music.

(1) Arrangements of Ukrainian Christmas carols in four-part harmony for choirs of mixed voices: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. The carols are harmonized in accordance with the practices of traditional, classical harmony and are printed in the style and form used by the publishers of church hymns.
Thirty-one of the more familiar carols have been printed in two separate volumes. The words and music in both volumes are the same. However, one volume has the words printed in the Ukrainian (cyrillic) script, while the other is a transliterated version, using the Roman (Latin) script.
(2) The instrumental arrangements consist of selected Ukrainian Christmas carols and of several selected Ukrainian folk songs. These are arranged for a variety of string ensembles.

Notes

Raphael would be willing to explain any aspect of the work he has done more fully to anyone interested in it. Some topics of interest might be: the sources of the carols, the criteria that guided my selection of the carols to work on, and the harmonies he employed.
A proper presentation and explanation would require a suitable place, and a keyboard to demonstrate specific musical aspects with which we would deal.
