TRADITIONAL BELARUSIAN RITUALS AND SONGS RECORDEDIN TYUKHTETSKY DISTRICT, KRASNOYARSK KRAI
Abstract
The paper is devoted to traditional Belarusian rituals and songs recorded in Tyukhtetsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai. It examines the historical background to the consolidation of Belarusian traditions in the region. Structural-typological analysis of archives and expedition records confirms that these rituals and songs belong to the Belarusian cultural tradition. The article presents a detailed analysis of the songs “Sirotochka” [Little Orphan] and “Bozha moy” [My God], revealing common features with similar examples of music folklore recorded in Belarus (at the level of poetic motifs, rhythmic structure, mode organization and melodic peculiarities). The results of the study demonstrate the importance of the folklore of the Belarusian immigrants from Tyukhtetsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai as an integral part of regional culture, which has preserved elements of authentic Belarusian tradition.
