What is a song
What is a song? The song is the most popular genre of vocal and instrumental music. Songs are divided into two categories: folk and song songs. The main difference between these two types is that in the song song we can name the authors of poetic and musical texts.
There is no national song of the pesonified author. Its creator is the collective creator – the people. Folk songs composed for centuries, they helped the peasants at work, they sang during ceremonies, holidays and mourning days. Initially, the songs served to accompany the wedding, funeral, the birth of a child, harvesting. Over time, the purpose of the song changed. People composed and sang songs when they were having fun or sad when they were working or resting. Anyone could change the words or melody of a song depending on his desire.
The folk song was passed on from generation to generation, moved from city to city by vagrant musicians, so for several years it could change several times. Simple peasants could not write down words or music, so they memorized the songs. Folk songs are divided into two groups. They are ceremonial and uncircumcised. Ritual songs accompany certain rituals: wedding songs, songs performed at the birth of a child, songs accompanying agricultural rites.
Unordered songs are songs that are sung in the evening, in conversations. They do not accompany rituals. The main purpose of the folk song is to express the diverse emotions and experiences of the people.
