Polish Folk Music
This study of Polish folk music is especially enlightening as it reveals both the history and practice of a musical tradition and offers an illuminating view of a culture and its social activities. The function of folk culture within contemporary life, for both Polish and non-Polish inhabitants of the country, is also examined. Within her study, Anna Czekanowska analyses the vocal and instrumental traditions of Polish folk music, tracing the background history, the influences of geography and politics, and the practice, often within contemporary society, of such social events as the harvest, the solstice and weddings.
This study contributes to a greater understanding and appreciation of Polish music and, in a wider aspect, of Slavonic culture. Professor Czekanowska also discusses the birth of Polish ethno- musicology as a discipline and details some methodological aspects for research. The book contains numerous illustrations of instruments and cultural events, music examples, maps, a discography and bibliography.
