Kosmogoniczne źródła muzyki w kontekście autoklasyfikacji tradycyjnych instrumentów muzycznych Hucułów. Nowa perspektywa analizy
Cosmogonic sources of music in the context of the self- classification of traditional Hutsul musical instruments. A new perspective of analysis

Summary/Abstract: The Hutsul tradition divides musical instruments into two categories: the divine and the devil- ish ones. This classification serves as a starting point for a multifaceted analysis of the sources and products of traditional music. The analysis concerns various factors, including an attempt to reconstruct the original design idea of the instrument’s creator, the choice of material for the instrument, and the way in which its sound properties are used. Of key importance to these con- siderations is a thorough analysis of these qualities in various performance contexts, in relation to the archaic belief worldview that refers to cosmogony (myth), i.e. the relationship between man and nature (macrocosm) and with his conscious musicalized microcosm. The article addresses the issue of how these relationships are reflected in the form, matter, sound qualities, and the musical performance of both groups of instruments.
