Summary/Abstract: Folk/ethnic/traditional music consists of a repertoire and performance praxis, singing, instrumental performance, gesture and dance, both separately and in synergy, in pure sound and extensive psycho-social and symbolic determinants. Folk music gathers centuries-old experiences of human communities as well as the core or abbreviation of the history of universal music. The author considers such music through a prism of a wide and rich gamut of emotions and its “technical” characteristic (tonality, metro-rhythmics, melodics, tempo and instrumentarium).
