Abstract

The paper displays the results of research of musical and stylistic features of the repertoire of the Russian wedding recorded in expeditions of the 90-ies of the 20th century in mining villages of the Beloretsk district of Bashkortostan by students and teachers of the Magnitogorsk state University.  The author uses comprehensive approach in the analysis of ritual texts, taking into account the results of philological, ethnographic and musicological classification, which allows systematizing the repertoire of the Belarusian wedding, and distinguishing two musical-style groups — lament-singing and song-and-dance. The musical-style group combines a part of the wedding repertoire, which is characterized by a certain set of typical features that reflect the specifics of the form, genre, and content of songs in their direct relationship with the condition and place of performance in the rite. The analysis of musical and stylistic originality of Russian wedding songs and lamentations is carried out at the level of verbal, syllabic, and pitch parameters of chanting organization. Regularities specified for the first time led to a conclusion about the musical and stylistic unity of local ritual and non-ritual folklore genres, which ensures not only the preservation of the corpus of wedding songs and wedding rites, but also the vitality of the local singing tradition as a whole. The paper also suggests that search for the origins of the local folklore tradition should be carried out in the Northern Russian European region, which is characterized by a lamenting (dramatic) type of the wedding ritual.
