Abstract

Outstanding scientists of the 20th century — E. Gippius, Z. Evald, F. Rubtsov, L. Christiansen keeping to develop advanced ideas of B. V. Asafiev and K. V. Kvitka , founders of the Russian folklore studies, came to be pioneers of the various  approaches to the study of musical folklore issues. While the achievements of E. Gippius, Z. Evald, F. Rubtsov met wide recognition and were put to practice, many of L. Christiansen`s discoveries are undeservingly overlooked. The purpose of this present paper is to provide a comparative analysis of scientists’ scholarly opinions in order to identify common and distinctive features in their views on folk studies issues and re-actualize various guidelines of L. Christiansen`s conception. The author concludes that despite differences in scientific approaches and analytical methods of abovementioned researchers, directions they traced in the field of folk singing studies enter the common space of scientific thought on folk musical and poetic art. Article’s materials are of great practical value for professionals working in the field of ethnomusicology, folk music creative work and folk singing performance.
