Вокална традиција Јасенице у светлости етногенетских процеса

Abstract

This paper is a synthesis of all data and knowledge about the vocal tradition of Jasenica available to the present day. The approach applied was interdisciplinary, including knowledge from the areas of history, ethnology, and linguistics, i.e. dialectology. The ethnomusicology materials which served as a base for the paper were gathered mostly by ethnomusicologists, and students of ethnomusicology. The materials were mostly recorded by Miljkovic and Jovanovic. Ljubinko Miljkovic conducted large, systematic ethnomusicological research in the 1970s and 1980s and published most of the materials in the music collection Donja Jasenica. Jovanovic collected materials in the 1980s and 1990s as well as at the beginning of the 21st century. This paper is based on the selection of available materials, and the area treated comprises 62 out of the total number of 76 urban and rural settlements.
