FOLCLORUL MUZICAL ÎN COMUNITATEA RURALĂ MODERNĂ DIN REPUBLICA MOLDOVA
MUSICAL FOLKLORE IN THE MODERN RURAL COMMUNITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

Summary/Abstract: Musical folklore, presented in various artistic forms, constitutes an integral part of ethnic culture. The functioning of folklore in rural areas nowadays takes place in different ways. We refer to: the promotion of folklore productions in their natural context of circulation by bearers anchored in tradition, especially in small villages, but in decline due to massive migration and population aging; the performance of folklore creations by representatives of the younger generation, under the same natural, traditional conditions of manifestation, who however learned the repertoire in school, or, more rarely, from authentic bearers; the planned reconstitution of various traditions, customs, etc. within educational institutions, kindergartens, for educational purposes; the activity of folklore ensembles at schools and cultural centres. The processes related to musical folklore in the modern rural community reflect a complex dynamic between tradition and modernity. Despite the fact that rural societies have changed significantly in the recent decades, musical folklore remains an important element of identity, even if, in many cases, in an adapted form.
