Abstract:
The caroling in the south of Bessarabia, in the lower course of the Prut, the
Danube and the Black Sea has been preserved in its old archaic forms, varied
and very rich. In this ethnographic area we will find a great variety of carols
such as: the carol of the house, of the baby, of the lad, of the girl, of the young,
of the engaged, of the widow, of the priest, of the hunter, of the fisherman, of
the dead, the carol of the falcon, the carol of the vine, at the vineyards of the
Greeks, the breath of the sea, of the star, etc. All these carols are of great
artistic value. From the perspective of protecting the intangible cultural
heritage, this cultural area is of prime importance both for the Romanian
culture, as a whole, and for the European one.
