SONGS OF CHORAL PERFORMANCE OF THE PEOPLES OF DAGESTAN (on the example of Kumyk and Lezgin songs)

Abstract

Non-ritual lyrics are works of oral and poetic creativity. It, like ritual poetry, is closely connected with the life of the people. It reflected his desires and aspirations, the make-up of his soul, worldview, aesthetic and ethical ideas. The most important theoretical problem of folklore is the elucidation of the specifics of various folklore genres, which is primarily reflected in their names. The object of our research is the songs of the choral performance of the peoples of Dagestan. This genre variety of non-ritual lyrics is most widespread in the oral and poetic work of the Kumyks and Lezgins. The purpose of our work is, on the basis of a systematic study, to form a holistic view of this genre. We rely on an integrated approach to the text, which acts as a link between individual scientific techniques and methods: comparative, descriptive, etc.
