FOLKLORE TRADITION OF THE VILLAGE OF YAMANOVO AND THE VILLAGE OF TOBURDANOVO OF THE KANASH DISTRICT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHUVASHIA AND ITS EXISTENCE AMONG THE CHUVASH SETTLERS OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF THE NOVOSIBIRSK REGION
The article considers the song folklore of the village of Yamanovo and the village of Toburdanovo of the Kanash district of the Chuvash Republic in a comparative aspect and the existence of this microlocal tradition among the descendants of the Chuvash immigrants from these settlements to the Novosibirsk region. The study employed the modern, archival, published materials (1933-2020), and the traditions recorded on the mainland territory and in its Siberian diaspora. The systems of folklore genres of the Volga and Siberian traditions largely coincide. Some genres related to ritual folklore were lost in Siberia. In the folklore of the Siberian Chuvash people, borrowings from Russian traditional music are more noticeable. This feature is manifested at the level of individual components (song plots, melodies), as well as in terms of entire genres (lyrical songs of the late tradition, Russian ditties, folklorized church chants). Due to the deep structuring of the elements of the musical language inherent in the Chuvash song culture, the rhythmic-syntactic and modal basis of the vast majority of song samples has been preserved in the Siberian-Chuvash tradition almost unchanged. The differences between the Volga and Siberian versions affect mainly the level of melodica. The strengthening of the role of the Anatri dialect in the Siberian-Chuvash diaspora is also noticeable.
