Traditional Folk Music

RECORDINGS OF THE KALISZ LAND REGALE OF FOLKLORE (1996)
AS AN EXAMPLE OF A MODERN FOLKLORE DOCUMENTATION
IN THE SCENIC CONTEXT

The article is dedicated to archival recordings from the Kalisz Land Regale of Folklore
made in 1996. The recordings represent an example of a modern folklore documentation in the scenic context. The collection of 12 tapes was digitised and edited in 2016 within the framework of the second phase of the project entitled Polish traditional music  - a phonographic heritage, carried out by the Phonographic Collection of the Institute of Art of Polish Academy of Sciences. The present text can be considered as the trigger for characterising changes that took place, and still do so, in the area of traditional music due to developing cultural-political conditions. Historical and contemporary Kalisz folklore documentation (including newly coming up music publishers) has been described in the article along with the performing context which a kind of festival-contest Kalisz Land Regale of Folklore is. Apart from this, there has been presented a general characteristic of singing groups and bands, such as „Doruchowianie”, „Potarzyczanki” and Kapela „Snutki” („Snutki” Band), Zespół Pieśni i Tańca „Tursko” („Tursko” Song and Dance Ensemble), Kapela Ludowa „Brzeziny” („Brzeziny” Folk Band). Key persons for the region of Kalisz and the development of specific bands (Leon Lewandowski, Józef Marciniak, Bronisław Bazelak and Antoni Chabierski) have also been mentioned in the article. Registered pieces have been characterised in the further part of the text. Emphasis has been put on the character of the material that pictures the marriage of traditional repertoire with the one of folk style or even popular popular provenience.
