It is studied that the song was among the most popular musical genres, which was not only reproduced and supported the faith of our people in difficult times, but it was one and the main means of the spirit strengthening of the Ukrainian army, a component of the interaction of soldiers. It is shown that one of the incentives for the development of music in WUPR and the involvement of different strata of the population in music-making and perception of art was the organization of concerts to raise funds for the needs of the army and the Ukrainian Red Cross.
