The concept of folk songs

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

The song - is an ancient lyrical genre, written to be sung. The song is usually of two types: folk songs and songs that are examples of written literature.
Folk songs have a very ancient history. They first appeared in the process of labor. The songs embody the dreams, joys, joys and sorrows of the people.
The song is also known as a genre of written literature. Poems of Alisher Navoi, Babur, Mashrab, Feruz, Ogahi, Muqimi, Furkat and other classical poets have become the favorite songs of our people. How do the works of Hamza, Hamid Olimjon, Turob Tola, Pulat Momin, Erkin Vahidov, Abdulla Aripov, Omon Matchon, Usmon Azimov, Muhammad Yusuf sing? proves its relevance.
In folk songs, the feelings of many are generalized and reflected through individual experiences.
Folk songs are created and performed by people of different ages in accordance with the geographical structure, climate, customs and ceremonies of each place.
In this regard, children's oral creativity also plays an important role. Initially, songs were created for children by adults, but later the songs, which were sung by children themselves, were formed.
For example, children sang songs dedicated to the ambassador of spring, such as "Chittigul" sung by girls. Children's songs are extremely simple in form and have a unique melody. Songs sung in children's language, by their very nature, glorify the reflections that take place in the spiritual world of the narrator, the simple, sincere, innocent feelings expressed in the content of the song. That is why they are close to the heart with their simplicity, impressive.
Ceremonial songs describe situations related to weddings, mourning and other ceremonies (such as "Yor-yor", "Kelinsalom", "Kuyovsalom"). Labor songs, on the other hand, are associated with different labor processes. For example, in threshing, "Hoy hayda", "Maydagul", in milking cows, sheep, goats, in milking calves, lambs, goats, "Good-bye", "Turey-turey", Folk songs such as “Churey-churey” reflect the activities of farmers and ranchers.
The song “Boychechak” is usually performed in the spring. It is no coincidence that the daisy is added to the song. Because this flower is a spring tree. The village children carried this flower and went from house to house asking for joy, and the landlords gave the children presents. The old men who saw the daisy rubbed it in their eyes. Because the arrival of the flower in the spring was taken as a sign of gratitude.
The song "Boychechak" has four, six and eight lines. The song begins with simple, sincere, humorous verses for children:
My boy is rich,
The boiler is completely broken.
If you don't give up,
Your pots are ruined.
The flower is a positive image, it is a symbol of youth, enthusiasm. It is the children’s first song of the spring season. This song is sung aloud. The repetitive part is sung as a group:
A flower that grows from the hard ground,
A flower that rolls out of the soft ground.
Let's pay attention to the meaning of the words in the lyrics of the song:
It is known that the mulberry tree is sacred in our people. People love and eat mulberry fruit. They make a comb out of her body and a crib for the baby. The flower is symbolic among the people and has a deep meaning. They "catch" him, "hang him on a mulberry tree", "run with a sword", "cover him with velvet". People say that if he achieves his goal by his own efforts, "After all, it is in a flower that has hardened from the ground." In all of these expressions, the flower is a symbol of a hardworking person.
The song “Chittigul” that you need to learn is also typical of children’s creativity and is performed by young girls. This song is also a season song because it is reminiscent of spring. As the girls perform this song, they come up with an action game that matches its tone. The girls sing in pairs, clapping their hands together at the same time, turning around and fighting again. When they say ‘chittigul-o chittigul’, the girls stand face to face. His hands clap together in a certain order, creating a beautiful tone. When it is said, "Hey, chittigul," the girls turn around in the same position. The lyrics of the song consist of a pair of lyrics and a chorus.
So, the singing of children's seasonal songs has many peculiarities with the style of performance, that is, the ceremonies held in a particular season are associated with action games. Importantly, these types of songs play an important role in studying our past, the lifestyles, worldviews and aspirations of our distant ancestors.

My boy is rich,
The boiler is completely broken.
