SONGS BY THE TRANSBAIKAL COSSACKS AND OLD-TIMERS IN THE COLLECTION BY V.P. ZINOVIEV
Abstract
The song folklore of Russian old-timers in the Transbaikal region is heterogeneous. In addition to the “Semeiskie” chant, covered in researchliterature, ritual and non-ritual songs by immigrants from different regions of Russia, as well as songs by the Transbaikal Cossacks, were recorded here. There is still a problem of publishing expedition notes, taken down from the Transbaikal Cossacks and old-timers. Currently, there are no works analyzing these songs in terms of music style: rhythmic structure, mode, a polyphony type. The present paper addresses the tunes published in the book “Russian Songs of Eastern Siberia”. It includes expedition materials collected by V.P. Zinoviev and his students in the Transbaikal and Irkutsk regions since 1969. The only edition that does not include records from the “Semeiskie” contains thelargest number of tunes by the Transbaikal Cossacks and old-timers. The analysis of these melodies enables a conclusion on belonging of the Transbaikal old-timer folklore to the so-called “common style of Russian old-timers in Siberia”.
