The aim of this section is to reveal the specificity of the folklore tradition in the system of spiritual and cultural symbols of the Ukrainian diaspora, which can be traced in various forms of functioning (revival, preservation, transformation, transmission).
The methodology of the research lies in the synthesis of theoretical principles and methods, the leading of which are: systemic-analytical, historical, culturological, art studies, and others. The multifaceted nature of the research necessitates the application of an interdisciplinary approach and the integration of methods from humanities such as history, art studies, music art, culturology, and so on. The main principle of the work is a comprehensive approach.
The ethnocultural experience of Ukrainians, fulfilling their important cognitive, educational, and socializing functions in the process of historical development, undoubtedly undergoes changes, but the ethnocultural heritage continues to live in the spiritual culture of the present. The musical folklore tradition, which until recently was preserved in the folk memory, is one of the oldest forms of spiritual culture of Rusyn-Ukrainians and Lemkos in the Carpathian region.
In the first decades of the 21st century, the folklore tradition appears as a constantly active part of modern culture, particularly in the repertoire of artistic ensembles of many genres on the concert stage. The representation of its forms in transformed versions of folklore tradition (as folklorism) on the border between Ukraine, Slovakia, and Poland is traced in the functioning of amateur and professional artistic ensembles, the development of the festival movement, the preservation of linguistic dialects in musical genres, their popularization in compositional creativity and, undoubtedly, in concert performance.
