Title: Piesňové žánre v tradičnej hudobnej kultúre na Slovensku. Modely žánrových syntéz v etnomuzikológii
Author: Hana URBANCOVÁ

Abstract: Systematic study of traditional song culture, using the category of song genre, has been conducted in Slovakia during the last two decades in particular and has opened methodological paths towards the contextual study of song structure. During this period soundings in depth were conducted on selected song groups, and the theoretical premises of genre research were tested. Resulting from both these lines of research, there has been a refinement of analytic procedures and interpretative models, which culminated in the conception of genre syntheses. The genre syntheses provide a complex view of the song as a unity of music (tune), text and social function. They are aimed at the mapping of genre specificities (features which distinguish the given song genre from the context of the others), and at the same time they interpret these features in wider socio-cultural, regional and historical-evolutionary connections.

Keywords: traditional song culture, genre, history of research, interdisciplinary approach, song structure, social function, genre synthesis, hay-making songs, Marian legends, Christmas carols, Midsummer songs
