ARE NEW YEAR'S CUSTOMS RELATED TO TRADITIONAL MUSIC RELATED TO RELIGION?

The carol "Little Jesus", due to its nostalgic melody and lyrics, was very popular in a female monastery. It is a permanent piece accompanying school and parish cribs. It is also often sung at home. Kujawiak - Polish folk dance, coming from Kujawy. It originates from Kujawy wedding rituals. It is a three-dimensional folk dance, characterized by mazur rhythms.

FORUM QUESTION

Yas, my works are related to religion at all. In anticipation of Christmas, we decorate the pine tree, make greeting cards, write a letter to little Jesus with ours wishes a send greeting cards to our friends or family with best wishes. The traditional musical custom of our region is to sing or play on instruments Kolenda to the hosts from house to house. It is a song that praises their home and gives them beautiful wishes for Christmas time and New Year. The hosts thank the singer or other musicians for compliments and wishes, and give them small gifts, like a cake, sweets, many, donuts .... We will present Kolenda in a greeting card.

In our county Dubrovnik - Neretva and along the coast we've got custom to go from door to door and sing and with cheerful wishes enter to the houses and celebrate with the hosts. Toasts are often said, appropriate songs are sung, and toast to the coming new year. Guitars and mandolines or tambourines or acapella are most often used in singing. In the past, people also carried torches with them. Housewives bake fritters. Customs are related to religion through songs and wishes. The guests are thus blessing the coming year.

Carol sung by Agata "Little Jesus", comes from the 18th century. The melody to the Christmas carol "Little Jezus"&nbsp;has features and rhythm of kujawiak. For this reason, it is assumed that the Christmas carol "Little Jezus"&nbsp;comes from Kujawy.

From midnight on New Year's Eve to the Magi was walked from house to house, among the closest, farther neighbors and the family. Carols were sung and were wished for health, wealth and all kinds of prosperity.

The carol "Little Jesus", due to its nostalgic melody and lyrics, was very popular in female monastery. It is a permanent piece accompanying school and parish cribs. It is also often sung at home.

Best wishes from Portugal

Janeiras 2021Portugal

Singing “Janeiras” is a tradition in Portugal&nbsp;consisting of&nbsp;singing songs on the streets by groups of people announcing the birth of Jesus, wishing a happy new year. These groups go from door to door, asking residents for leftovers from Christmas parties. Nowadays, these "leftovers" often translate into money.&nbsp;They take place in January, starting on the 1st and extending until the 6th, Kings Day. Nowadays, many groups prolong “Cantar as Janeiras” (singing Janeiras) throughout the month.&nbsp;The general and more accentuated tradition is that groups of friends or neighbors come together, with or without musical instruments. After the group is done, they will sing from door to door in the neighborhood. After the song was finished in a house, the owners are expected to bring the “Janeiras” (chestnuts, nuts, apples, chorizo, black pudding, today it is customary to give chocolates and money, although this is not the tradition). At the end of the walk, the group meets and shares the result, or else they eat together what they received.&nbsp;&nbsp;The songs used are usually already known, although the lyrics are different in each location.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Primary school Blato, Croatia

In Blato on Korčula in Croatia, the folk custom of "rejoicing" has been preserved - folk singing for Christmas. Groups of singers tour the houses and sing congratulations on the upcoming holiday. In the past, singers were rewarded with oranges and dried fruit. The younger generations continue this old custom. A song echoes through the streets, creating a special holiday atmosphere. On the eve of the New Year, the song "Na mlado lito" was sung. The song talks about how Jesus should be circumcised on New Year's Day, and glorifies Jesus and the Virgin Mary. This custom and songs are especially valuable because they originate from Blato and are only sung in Blato.
