Conclusions. The activity of Yaroslav Barnych had a significant influence on the formation of the Ukrainian music culture of the late 19th - early 20th centuries. In his work, the composer composed music of the “light” genre, creating popular tango songs, where he combined songs with tango elements and rhythms. As a result of the study of Yaroslav Barnych’s creative heritage, it has been found that the composer’s achievements are not well researched within national art history, and his works have not lost their relevance, which is confirmed by the desire to revive the creative achievements of Yaroslav Barnych in contemporary art and culture. In 2019, the Ukrainian musical film (directed by O. Demianenko) was shot based on the operetta Hutsulka Ksenia (Ksenia the Hutsul Girl).
