Music Of Buryatia
Buryatia is a part of the Russian Federation. One of the country's main instruments is a two-stringed horse-head fiddle called a ''morin khuur''. This is an instrument closely linked to the all-important cult of the horse, belonging to the intangible heritage of all Mongolic peoples. Other elements of Buryat music, such as the use of fourths both in tuning instruments and in songs, and pentatonic scales, reveal similarities to music from Siberia and Eastern Asia. There traditionally was no polyphony, instead voices and instruments performed the same melody in unison but varied in timing and ornamentation. Narrative structures are a part of most Buryat folk music, often in the form of epic tales, and the last song of famous leaders; these include the ''Last Song of Rinchin Dorzhin''. Under Soviet control, Buryat folk music was sanitized and mostly allowed in forms that were supportive of the state's power. This period saw state-approved songs recollecting events such as the Civi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
