Military Songs of the Slovaks in Vojvodina: the Traditional Song Genre and Its Mutations in a Minority Setting

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on research of military and recruiting songs in the Slovak ethnic enclave inVojvodina, which hitherto have not been closely researched or evaluated. Song material wasexcerpted from selected archival holdings and published song collections; besides these, it isalso drawn from song repertoire which the author documented during her own field work incertain localities of Vojvodina. Military songs are classified in a number of groups (as definedby the Slovak ethnomusicologist Soňa Burlasová), which are more closely characterised fromthe thematic and musical standpoints. The author compares the excerpted song material withmilitary and recruiting songs from the territory of Slovakia, while pointing to their changesin the new setting of the Slovak enclave in Serbia.
