MUSICAL FOLKLORE OF SIBERIAN UDMURTS IN SOUND COLLECTIONS OF THE UDMURT INSTITUTE OF HISTORY, LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE OF THE UDMFRC UB RAS

Abstract

The article considers archival sound collections according to the musical and song tradition of the Siberian group of Udmurts living in the Krasnoyarsk region and the Tomsk region. The main stock repository today is the phonogrammarchiv of the Udmurt Institute of History, Language and Literature of the UdmFRC UB RAS. Expeditionary recordings made in 1974 and 2006 make it possible to trace the state of musical folklore in dynamics. Analysis of the field material showed a decrease in the number of songs and the complete disappearance of rites in late recordings, while the layer of non-ritual songs survived quite well. The same phenomenon (partial disappearance of the rite layer of songs and the prevalence of the non-ritual) we see in the Udmurt traditional culture. In our opinion, this is facilitated by the emotional component of non-ritual songs, which is relevant at all times. During the course of the work, new materials stored in other funds were identified and will be considered in subsequent studies. The further planned comparative analysis of musical folklore of the Udmurt resettlement tradition with autochthonous tradition will allow relating the degree of preservation and/or loss of its components.
