Duma (epic)
A Duma (, plural ''dumy'') is a oral epic poem which originated in Ukraine during the Cossack Era in the sixteenth century, possibly based on earlier Kyivan epic forms. Historically, ''dumy'' were performed by itinerant Cossack bards called kobzari, who accompanied themselves on a kobza or a bandura, who were often (blind) itinerant musicians who retained the kobzar appellation and accompanied their singing by playing a bandura (rarely a kobza) or a relya/lira (a Ukrainian variety of hurdy-gurdy). Dumas are sung in recitative, in the so-called " duma mode", a variety of the Dorian mode with a raised fourth degree. ''Dumy'' were vocal works built around historical events, many dealing with military action in some forms. Embedded in these historical events were religious and moralistic elements. There are themes of the struggle of the Cossacks against enemies of different faiths or events occurring on religious feast-days. Although the narratives of the ''dumy'' mainly revolve ar ...
