The Genre-Related and Stylistic Explication of the Song Tradition of the Belgorod Region: The Regional Aspect
Abstract
The content of the article discloses the genre and style attributes of the song tradition of
Foshchevatovo village in the Volokonovka District of the Belgorod Region, in many ways
insufficiently studied and mastered up till now. The folk chorus of this village is one of the most
well-known ethnographical ensembles of the south of Russia (its artistic director was Maria
Stefanovna Skuridinova, 1920–2002), which has left its contemporaries, folk music scholars,
directors of the folk ensembles of singers and lovers of folk music a unique folk song heritage,
which contrasts with its contiguous traditions by its genre and melodic intonation content,
performance forms and means of artistic expression. The distinctive vocal school of Foshchatovo
singers comprises a prospective sphere of scholarly and artistic activities of scholars, specialist
practitioners and lovers of the art of folk music.
Keywords: the song tradition of Foshchevatovo village, calendar songs, wedding songs,
two-chorus songs, lullabies, “skomorokh” songs, lyrical songs, seasonally timed to coincide
with the work activities of the song, untimed (plangent) songs, sacred poems, psalms, choral
chastushkas depicting suffering, instrumental tunes.
