Moravian traditional music or Moravian folk music represents a part of the European musical culture connected with the Moravian region of the Czech Republic . Styles of Moravian traditional music vary by location and subject, but much of it is characterized by a specific melodic and harmonic texture related to the Eastern European musical world. According to Czech musicologist Ji?i Plocek, Moravia is the area where the European East musically meets the West. ^[1]

Moravian folk bands are mainly centered on a string section and a large cimbalom , which are often complemented by other instruments. Moravian traditional music influenced Czech classical composers, such as Antonin Dvo?ak , Bed?ich Smetana and Leo? Jana?ek , who was at the forefront of the Moravian folklore movement. Towards the end of the 20th century, Moravian folk music had a noticeable influence on the Czech jazz scene, and folk songs have been adapted into rock bands' repertoires. Today, there are many festivals still held throughout Moravia with performances from traditional bands and dance ensembles.

History [ edit ]

Moravia , today a part of the Czech Republic , was settled by Slavic tribes in the 6th century. Today, however, little is known about this period. Following the decline of Great Moravia in the 9th and 10th centuries, Moravia was captured by the P?emyslid dynasty and became a part of the Bohemian Kingdom . During the medieval war-invasions, exotic armies of Turks and Tatars came to the region. Echoes of these dramatic events can be found in the lyrics of Moravian folk songs. ^[2] Distinct styles of folk music began to emerge during the Wallachian colonization of the 16th and 17th centuries, separating Bohemian and Moravian traditional music. The "new Hungarian" style has influenced the music of the area in the past three centuries, especially in Southern Moravia. ^[2] This influence has left a deep imprint on the unusual melodic variegation of Moravian traditional music providing an inspirational source for subsequent Classical, Jazz and Pop music composers. ^[2]

The Czech National Revival in the 19th century represented an important turning point for traditional music. The "Gubernial Collecting Action" at the beginning of the 19th century was responsible for documenting folk music of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire . Later, in 1835, the priest Franti?ek Su?il (1804?1868) published Moravske narodni pisn? (Moravian National Songs), the founding collection of Moravian folk songs. ^[3] The second important collector of folk songs was the dialectologist and folklorist Franti?ek Barto? (1837?1906), who published his collection Nove narodni pisn? moravske s nap?vy do textu v?ad?nymi (New Moravian National Songs with Melodies Integrated to Text) in 1882. ^{[ citation needed ]} He closely collaborated with Czech composer Leo? Jana?ek who later became the leader of the Moravian folklore movement and organized the first phonograph recordings of Moravian folk music; these represent the oldest documentation of Moravian folk music. ^[3] Jana?ek's written collection of Moravian love-songs ( Moravske pisn? milostne ) was published in 1930, after his death. ^[4] Many other valuable regional folk-song collections were also published during this time and collecting activities continued through the second half of the 20th century. Today tens of thousands of folk songs from Moravia are archived in the Ethnographic Division of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic . ^[3]

Main characteristics [ edit ]

The traditional music of Western Moravia is closely related to the music of Bohemia . It was influenced by folk music of Germany and other western regions as well as classical music , especially in the Baroque and Classical eras. The music is mainly written in major keys , and its rhythm and structure are regular and firm. ^[2]

The music of Southeastern Moravia differs substantially. Its character is closely related to the musical style of Eastern Europe ^[2] using rather minor keys and melodic elements characteristic of eastern countries such as Ukraine , Slovakia , Romania and Hungary . Here it is also possible to find elements of gypsy scales which contain augmented intervals unusual for the traditional music of Western Europe. ^[2] One of the most important elements of the traditional music of Southeastern Moravia is emotional variegation and greater rhythmic leeway. ^[5]

Moravian folk music performances use various traditional and characteristic instruments. "Cimbalom bands" are among the most visible and iconic ensembles that perform traditional music today. ^[6] The "small" cimbalom characteristic of Moravian music in the 19th century, however, has been replaced by the "standard" (or Hungarian) cimbalom, a rather new instrument only gaining wide use in the 20th century. ^[7] The leader and "conductor" of the cimbalom band is often a violinist , called "prima?" in Czech, who plays the leading melody with ornamentation. A second violinist, "obligat" , often plays the plain melody and supports the "prima?" . The harmonic variety of the string instruments is often supported also by other violinists or violists . They are called "terc" as they usually play a third lower than the leading melody or "kontry" , playing accompaniments. ^[8] Other important instruments of the Moravian cimbalom band are clarinet , ornamenting the melody, and double bass .

Moravian folk bands often perform in various line-ups as some types of songs require specific instrumental accompaniment. For example, "hudecke" songs only require a string section. The traditional line-up of hudecka muzika (string band) consists of fiddle ( prim ), viola ( kontra ) and bass. ^[8] Bagpipes , gajdy in Moravian dialects, are integral to the fabric of "gajdo?ska muzika" , often accompanied by violin ( prim ), viola ( kontra ) and double bass. ^[8] Removing some typical violin features lead to the origin of an instrument nicknamed the squeaking fiddle in the former Bohemian-German area of the Jihlava region. ^[9] This type of homemade "folk fiddle" is the leading instrument of sk?ipka?ska muzika ("squeaking fiddle band"). Other songs may require unusual instruments such as simple whistles , pipes , flutes and recorders , hurdy-gurdy and jaw harps . ^[7]

Moravian traditional folk songs are separated into various specific types, of which the most famous is probably the verbu?k , the specific male recruit dance of Moravian Slovakia . Koichiro Matsuura , the General-Director of UNESCO in 2005 proclaimed the Moravian verbu?k as the part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind. ^{[10] [11]}

Types of Moravian folk songs [ edit ]

• Love songs ? the most numerous category dealing with feelings of love in various forms (joyous songs, sad songs) ^[12]
• Wedding songs
• Recruitment and army songs ? including, for example, songs relating to the Battle of Austerlitz ^[13]

• Pastoral songs (in Czech : pastevecke pisn? )
• Jocular songs ? with ironic and sharp remarks focusing on human weaknesses
• Drinking songs ? in praise of the scent and flavour of wine and spirits; poking fun at those who drink too much
• Ceremonial songs ? carnival songs, work songs, dance songs, carols
• Funeral choir songs ? This form has survived only in the Hor?acko Region.

Moravian ethnographic regions [ edit ]

Moravia is ethnographically divided into approximately ten regions, ^[14] some of which, Dol?acko for example, are divided further into subregions.

• Central and western Moravia ? The traditional music of this large area is oriented rather to Bohemian folk culture.
• Northeastern Moravia ? Closer to the Carpathian circle of folk culture, the region is influenced by Slovak and Polish culture.
• Southeastern Moravia (southeast of Brno ) ? This area has many different ethnographic regions collectively known as Slovacko ( Moravian Slovakia ). The regions and subregions also encompass the districts of Hodonin and Uherske Hradi?t? , and partially stretch into the districts of B?eclav and Zlin .

Region	Main characteristics
Central and western Moravia
Horacko (Moravian Highlands) and the subregion Podhoracko	An extensive region located at the boundary between Bohemia and Moravia. The major part of Horacko belongs to the Vyso?ina Region . The Horacko region encompasses areas around the towns of Da?ice , Tel? , Jihlava , ??ar nad Sazavou , Poli?ka , Havli?k?v Brod , Pelh?imov , Kamenice , Pacov . The Podhoracko (or Dolacko ) region consists of Moravske Bud?jovice , T?ebi? , Velke Mezi?i?i , Nove M?sto na Morav? . The folk music of Horacko was influenced by Bohemian folklore and also by the Bavarian colonization. [15] The character of the music of Horacko is rather instrumental. Here it is possible to find the influence of Bohemian regions such as Chodsko, Southern Bohemia and Central Bohemia. [15] Major scales substantially predominate the music; few songs are written using minor scales . The tempi are moderate, mainly in 2/4 or 3/4 time . The folk music of Horacko uses syncopation. [15]
Hana (Hanakia)	An ethnographic region in central Moravia approximately between the towns of Zab?eh , Hole?ov , Vy?kov and Uni?ov . It is the largest and oldest traditional Moravian region. Today, the original folk music of Hanakia is revived thanks to various folk ensembles in Prost?jov and Velka Byst?ice and other towns and villages. [16] [17] Its musical character is similar to Bohemian folk music and was also influenced by court music.
Northeastern Moravia
Vala?sko (Moravian Wallachia)	A mountainous region in the easternmost part of Moravia, near the Slovak border. The Moravian Wallachs supposedly came from the East, from the Slovak side. They established a shepherd culture in the Beskydy and nearby mountains, close to the towns of Ro?nov pod Radho?t?m and Velke Karlovice . The area surrounding the towns of Vsetin , Vala?ske Klobouky , Vizovice and Zlin also belongs to Wallachia. The traditional music of Moravian Wallachia is influenced by Lachian and Polish folk culture on the north, and that of Slovakia in the south. Wallachian folk songs can be divided into several categories. Heleka?ky and he?ene (hollering songs) were used for communication by children and women while herding cattle and horses. Whirling dance and rolling dance are types of dance songs in southern Wallachia. Slovakian influence can be seen in the old Hungarian dance , which is close to the csardas . A well-known male dance is also the odzemek . The simplest of traditional Wallachian instruments was the koncovka , a shepherd's end-blown flute . The early bagpipe music ( gajdo?ska muzika ) was later replaced by the string band with small portable hammered dulcimer or the table hammered dulcimer, an instrument which almost disappeared when it was replaced by the large Hungarian cimbalom.
La?sko (Lachia)	A region located between the towns of Frydek-Mistek , Frydlant nad Ostravici , Fren?tat pod Radho?t?m , Novy Ji?in and Kop?ivnice in northeastern Moravia. Lachia is known for its traditional folklore, and especially for its typical dance forms. Leo? Jana?ek, a Lachian native, created the orchestral cycle Lachian Dances , inspired by the music of Lachia.
Southeastern Moravia
Uherskohradi??sko a subregion of Dol?acko	The regional center is Uherske Hradi?t? . It consists of the following municipalities: Uhersky Ostroh , Pole?ovice , Nedakonice , Kostelany , Bor?ice , Zlechov , Tupesy , Velehrad , Modra , Stare M?sto , Ma?atice , Sady, Kunovice , Hu?t?novice , Jankovice , Babice among others. Folk music and arts traditions are highly developed in this agricultural area. [18] Here many Czech scholars and composers such as Leo? Jana?ek, Franti?ek Barto? and Franti?ek Su?il collected "peasant songs" ? a specific folk song type from the neighbourhood of Bilovice. The most notable representatives of the folk music of this region are Jaroslav ?ech Cimbalom Band , Kunovjan , V?elaran and Dolina .
Stra?nicko a subregion of Dol?acko	Located around the town of Stra?nice , this region consists of Petrov , Sudom??ice , Rad?jov , Tvaro?na Lhota , Kn??dub , Tasov , Hroznova Lhota , Kozojidky , ?eraviny . Notable representatives of this region include prima? Slavek Volavy (1922?1983) and cimbalom bands Danaj and Stra?ni?an .
Kyjovsko a subregion of Dol?acko	With the central town of Kyjov , this area includes Kel?any , Osv?timany , Vracov , Milotice , Vacenovice , Rati?kovice , Dub?any , Mut?nice , Hovorany , Svatobo?ice-Mist?in . Kyjovsko has long been one of the most significant ethnographic regions of southern Moravia. The first written reference to the cimbalom originated here in 1799. [19] The region's usual ensemble line-up was 1 or 2 violins, double bass, cimbalom and later also clarinet. The musical development in Moravia during this time was diverse as bagpipe music existed almost exclusively in Hor?acko to the west. During the first half of the 20th century, cimbalom bands were nearly replaced by brass music, called "dechovka" . However, the tradition was revived since the 1950s and the popularity of cimbalom bands continues to grow. [15] The most characteristic folk dances of the Kyjovsko region are "sko?na" , "slovenska" and "verbu?k" . The most important representative ensembles of this region are prima? Jura Petr? (1922?1984) and the Jura Petr? Cimbalom Band , Varmu?a Cimbalom Band .
Hor?acko (Upper Moravian Slovakia)	The small region located at the northwestern base of the White Carpathian Mountains . Its center is in Velka nad Veli?kou . Hor?acko consists of Hruba Vrbka , Mala Vrbka , Ku?elov , Javornik , Nova Lhota , Vapenky , Suchov , Lipov , and Louka . Leo? Jana?ek considered Hor?acko "the most important center of traditional folk music in Moravian Slovakia" . [20] The development of Moravian traditional music remained uninterrupted only in the Hor?acko region. The characteristic regional music style is represented mainly by the Martin Hrba? Cimbalom Band .
Uherskobrodsko and the subregion Kopanice	The region at the borders of Moravia and Slovakia close to the town of Uhersky Brod . It is sometimes considered a part of the Dol?acko Region . This region shows features of both traditional Moravian folk music and Slovak music. Slovakian influence can be found in the mountainous part at the border of the region, namely in the villages of Strani , B?ezova , Stary Hrozenkov and surroundings ? called Kopanice as a whole. The musical development in Uherskobrodsko was similar to the other regions in the Southern Moravia. Flutes (whistles), pipes, violins and other bowed instruments were consecutively added to a human voice. A string band ( hudecka muzika ) with a clarinet was a typical set up for Moravia of the 19th and part of the 20th century. However, it is impossible to find the original forms of the folk music of Uherskobrodsko . The notable cimbalom band of the region is Ol?ava .
Luha?ovicke Zalesi	A transitive region between Moravian Slovakia , Moravian Wallachia , and Hanakia . The center is in Luha?ovice .
Podlu?i	The southernmost part of Moravian Slovakia, it consists of southern Podlu?i ( Ladna , Stara B?eclav , Po?torna , Charvatska Nova Ves , Hlohovec , Kostice , Lan?hot , Tvrdonice , Hru?ky , Tynec , Moravska Nova Ves ) and northern Podlu?i ( Mikul?ice , Lu?ice , Josefov , Dolni Bojanovice , Stary Poddvorov , Pru?anky ). The musical development of this region was somewhat segregated. The most important representatives of the traditional music of the Podlu?i Region are prima? Jo?ka Kobzik (1929?2000) and the cimbalom bands B?eclavan and Jo?ka Severin Cimbalom Band .
Hanacke Slovacko (Hanakian Moravian Slovakia)	A transitive region between Moravian Slovakia and Hanakia . The southern part consists of ?ejkovice , ?ej? , Kobyli , Brumovice , Vrbice , Bo?etice , Velke Pavlovice , Velke Bilovice , and Rakvice . The middle part consists of Krumvi? , Klobouky u Brna , Boleradice , Divaky and T??any . The eastern part, close to the Kyjovsko Region , consists of ?aro?ice , Archlebov and V?te?ov . The notable representative of this folk music is Cimbalom Band Vonica .

Folklorism [ edit ]

Moravian traditional folk music has served as a source and inspiration to many different musical genres including classical composers such as Antonin Dvo?ak , Leo? Jana?ek , Vit?zslav Novak and Bohuslav Martin? . ^[21] Following World War II and the Czechoslovak coup d'etat of 1948 , folk songs were used as a part of the communist cultural programme. Ideology-influenced folk-song propaganda was created in order to support the new regime. The movement soon vanished, however, and the principles of traditional folk music headed toward more sophisticated processing. The "off-key and creaky" music of old village musicians was often replaced by the academic and virtuosic expression of professional players, ^[21] typically represented by the Brn?nsky rozhasovy orchestr lidovych nastroj? (BROLN) (The Orchestra of Traditional Folk Instruments of the Brno Radio). In the second half of the 20th century, traditional folk bands were replaced with "chamber orchestras" which performed folk arrangements. Regional variability and originality was almost lost. Traditional music partially returned to its roots in the last decade of the 20th century and slowly began to restore its distinctives. ^[22]

The musical structure of Moravian folk song also influenced many jazz artists. Czech jazz musicians led by Karel Velebny and Jaromir Hnili?ka recorded the album "Tynom, tanom" in 1970, the first attempt to arrange the folk songs into jazz compositions. Other jazz musicians who have used elements of folk music include Ji?i Stivin ( Inspirations by Folklore CD) and Emil Viklicky ( Morava , 2003 CD, together with Billy Hart , George Mraz and Zuzana Lap?ikova ).

The songwriter Petr Ulrych , the founder of the band Javory , was one of the first musicians to deal with traditional music in the 1980s. ^[23] Ulrych closely collaborated with violinist Ji?i Pavlica , the leader of the cimbalom band Hradi??an . Hradi??an, a well-known traditional folk band, later turned away from folklore and focused on fusion in various world music projects ( Yas-Kaz , Dizu Plaatjies and Altai Kai collaborations among others).

Widespread use of traditional folk music in the repertoire of Czech rock bands began in the 1990s. Significant representatives of this genre are ?echomor , Fleret and Vlasta Redl . Another important musician who deals with Moravian traditional music is the avant-garde singer and violinist Iva Bittova .
