SVADOBNÉ PIESNE V SLOVENSKEJ ZBOROVEJ TVORBE 20. STOROČIA

This article is concerned with compositional arrangements of the traditional repertoire of wedding songs for choral singers. The authors of the arrangements were composers active in Slovakia during the 20th century. Their compositions are analysed in terms of selection of the song model for treatment, while also looking at the significance and status of individual songs in the context of the wedding ceremony. The musical analysis is directed at compositional work (differentiated according to the degree of recomposition) with folk material. A further object of analysis is the dramaturgic construction of compositions, and work with the semantics of the wedding song repertoire, from the viewpoint of the composer.
