AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study, undertaken in 1966-1968, is an attempt to understand the function and role of songs and their relationship to the social structure of a Bosnian Muslim village (Planinica). The song texts document, in part, a world view and way of life in the past (p. 7). Songs were recorded by Lockwood by means of a tape recorder or on paper, and further supplemented by interviews with informants, especially in regard to their attitudes, values, and sense of aesthetics concerning the singers, songs, and performances. Lockwood discusses the subject content of the various types of songs, presenting in the process numerous representative examples of each type (e.g., songs of courtship, work songs, lullabies, etc.). Although the fieldwork was conducted in Planinica, comparative song data from other neighboring villages in the region have been compiled in this work in Appendix II, pp. 169-198. The musical transcriptions of various songs appearing in the text will be found in Appendix III, pp. 201-220.
