Η σχέση του δημοτικού τραγουδιού με το φυσικό περιβάλλον. Περιπτωσιολογική προσέγγιση από τη μουσική συλλογή του Γεωργίου Παχτίκου.

Abstract

Through the case study of the collection of 260 folk songs by George Pahtikos, the relationship between the folk song and the natural environment is examined. Using the methodological tools of musicology and communication, the poetic as well as the musical content of the collection is examined in order to highlight the communicative element of the songs in relation to the issue under study. The collection contains many symbolic references to Nature, which express human feelings, situations and reflect specific historical and social phases. Thus, the material is categorized and analyzed based on these references. In this particular collection, in addition to the words that have a direct reference to Nature, there are more rare and indirect references, which are expressed through the melodic movement of the songs (rhetorical elements). Therefore, the transcription of the melody of the songs by Pahtikos provides additional evidence for the relationship of the folk song with Nature, making the collection particularly important.
