O MELODIE DIN TRANSILVANIA ÎNTRE TRADIȚIA POPULARĂ LOCALĂ ȘI FOLCLOR. CÂNTECUL ȘI DANSUL FETELOR DE LA CĂPÂLNA
A MELODY FROM TRANSYLVANIA BETWEEN LOCAL FOLK TRADITION AND FOLKLORE. THE SONG AND DANCE OF THE CĂPÂLNA GIRLS

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the path of a melody associated to the ‘purtata’ dance of the girls from the village of Căpâlna, since its post-war documentation up to the contemporary digital circulation. The study pursues the manner in which this piece has been reinterpreted and propagated within the local context, the official stage, and the online environment, transcending ethnic and stylistic borders. We examine differences in structure, style and reception, between the traditional, the digital, and the stage variants, as well as the methodological difficulties linked to the absence of a unitary typology in Romanian ethnomusicology. The case is discussed in parallel to analytical models from the Hungarian literature, revealing a possible transborder type, with various functions and a potential for global recontextualization.
