Antologija srpskih i crnogorskih narodnih pesama
The Anthology of Serbian and Montenegrin folk songs
2 CD set with artwork and a booklet
All
types of songs in this Anthology have been classified into three groups,
according to their textual subject matter: love and sim-ilar songs, working songs, ritual and
custom songs. Sound
examples on the disk include the said genres, divided, according to the manner
of performance into two categories: one-part
and multi-part singing. One-part
(monophonic) songs (1-15), with their archaic characteris-tics, are
generally performed by a solo voice (posamo) (1,3, 4,12-15), but often enough
by several voices in unison (2, 5-11).
However, multi-part (generally two-part,
or diaphonic) rural singing (16-30), known also as singing "iz
glasa", can be hetero phonic or bourdon (16-21), with special stylistic,
archaic traits manifested primarily in simultaneous seconds. As a relatively
novel practice, in some villages in Serbia songs are performed in a way known as "na bas". This is homo-phonic two-part singing (22-30), with the prevailing intervals of thirds and fifths. Owing to specific geographical and
historical circumstances, the Serbs and Montenegrin were for
centuries exposed to i cultural influences both from the East and the West.
The traces of foreign cultural spheres have been preserved to this day,
primarily in larger settlements and towns, located on the longitudinal and
transversal communications of the Balkans, connecting Europe and the East.
Ancient rural patriarchal culture, which was only exceptionally affected by
foreign influences, survives in many parts of Serbia and Montenegro.
