Easter Singing in the Liturgy and in Folk Music Tradition of Podkarpacie: Analysis and Characterization

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the Easter singing in the liturgy and in folk music tradition of Podkarpacie as well as their analysis and characterization. The collected repertoire includes both melodies referring to the Gregorian chant patterns and created in the major-minor mode. Studies show that Easter songs are mainly performed within the liturgical rites of the Mass of Resurrection as well as during the liturgies celebrated throughout the whole Easter time. Still, in Podkarpacie this repertoire entering into folk circulation combines liturgical aspect with folk reception. The result of these relationships is the phenomenon of variability with which one can meet in this species of singing.The analysis proves that the transformations that occur due to folk performance relate primarily to melodies and metrorythmics of Easter singing as well as to their form and text layer. Prevalence of the non-metric melodies as a result of folk thinking with a music phrase should be noted. One can also meet genetically folk songs. In the studied Easter repertoire functioning in the oral tradition of Podkarpacie there are clear regional conditions that determine the specific, locally different face of these singing.
