Songsheets as Source for Marian Legends. Two Song Types from the Oral Tradition

Summary/Abstract: The study of Marian legends has proven that songsheets served as a model for several song types known from oral tradition. Two so far unknown Marian song-legends documented only in one village in Slovakia (Záblatie by Trenčín, Považie region) could be incorporated into the Slovak repertory thanks to their models – songsheets, the products of domestic printing works from the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th century (Skalica, Banská Bystrica, Levoča). Song types from the local tradition of this village bring two new topics (“Death of Mary and Assumption”, “Revelation of Mary to orphans”), thus widening the Marian cycle of legend songs reconstructed in the Slovak traditional singing to 18 topics.
