Abstract: The paper hereby entitled Ethnographic and Folk Music Traditions of Jobbágytelke (Sâmbriaş) presents a village
in Mureş county. I started my research on this village already during my
high-school years, more precisely in the school year of 2012-2013. This was the
period when I collected the pieces of information regarding the traditions and
folk costumes of the village and the 23 tunes that Mr. András Sinkó (my teacher
of ethnography at the time) helped me do the notation for. In the first year of
my university studies I extended the paper. This was the period when I
collected the children’s songs, the nursery rhymes and the children’s plays that
used to be played by the old generation in the nursery and in elementary
school. This year I attempted to set the existing information on scientific
basis and to collect more information. This is when I dwelt on the origin and
historical data of the village, on the community institutions meant to preserve
traditions, on folk dance and the members of the folk dance ensemble. I
succeeded in noting another 21 new tunes, 3 of which I wrote down from
recordings made by the late Antal Balla. In the paper I used 28 other tunes as
well, besides those collected by me. For these 28 other tunes I own
acknowledgements for István Almási, PhD who kindly granted that I have access
to his collection kept at the Folklore Archive of Cluj-Napoca. The paper hereby
could not have been written without the kind help of Ilona Szenik, PhD. It is
her merit that my research can rely on scientific grounds and that the tunes
are organized and have musical analysis attached to them. And last, but not
least I owe acknowledgements to my thesis coordinator, PhD Júlia Köpeczi-Kirkósa
to PhD Zoltán Gergely, collaborator at the Folklore Archive of Cluj-Napoca and
also to my informants from the village and to all the inhabitants of the
village who readily informed me and introduced me to village life.
