Description

This article is devoted to the study of Kazakh wedding ritual songs in the southwest of Zhetysu. Among the genres of Kazakh ritual folklore, the wedding cycle is characterized by the greatest preservation, which is included in the group of family ritual songs. Over the past century, specialists of the older generations have been recording musical folklore mainly from the eastern regions of Zhetysu. This determines the relevance of the selected topic. The purpose of the article is to consider the semantics of images of the texts of wedding songs in the southwest of Zhetysu and their musical and stylistic features. In highlighting the role of ritual folklore in the tradition and stages of the Kazakh wedding ritual, the article uses the comparative method. Consideration of stable images in the texts of wedding songs has taught the application of semantic analysis. The study of the musical and poetic structure, scales and rhythmic organization of wedding songs in the south-west of Zhetysu was carried out on the basis of a structural approach. The semantics of images of a mirror, a tree, a threshold in the Western Nozhetysu wedding songs unites them with similar images from other geographic regions of Kazakhstan and some ethnic cultures of the near abroad. Lado-melodic features of the considered wedding genres indicate their typological similarity with similar genres mainly in the eastern part of the region and East Kazakhstan. When studying Kazakh wedding songs, ethnomusicologists paid great attention to the stages of the wedding ritual, which determined the performance of various genres. The expedition material of B. Babizhan showed that due to the disappearance of some stages of the traditional Kazakh wedding, at present only “syңsu” and female “heat-heat” have been preserved in the memory of the respondents of the studied region. Basically, in their texts, the ancient Turkic 7-8-complex versification size – “zhyr” has been preserved. Zhetysu wedding songs are composed in 2- or 4-line musical and poetic form. The presented research was carried out on the basis of materials from the folklore expeditions of 2018 and 2019, which makes it possible to form an objective idea of the current state of ritual folklore in the studied region. A comprehensive examination of wedding genres showed their typological connections with the folklore of neighboring regions and regions and further development paths.
