Abstract:
Тhe traditional songs and melodies recorded at the begining of the sixth decades of 20 th century as the result of the Folklore department-the division of Ethnology Department of the Museum of Vojvodina and its collaborators Trandafira Žuržovana (Trandafir Jurjovan) and Erne Kiralja (Ernő Király), had remained known to the professional public in a very small part. It is an extensive collection recorded on magnetophone tapes in villages inhabited by Romanians, which contained 178 Romanian traditional songs and melodies (Kiralj, 1958, 173). Due to the lack of experts and the institution in the 60s of the 20th century, who would deal with this issue in more detail, as well as despite the damage to the aforementioned recorded music-folklore material, thanks to the ethnologists-curators of the Museum of Vojvodina, after more than 60 decades it has now been preserved on modern audio carriers. As such, this material represents a true ethnomusicological rarity.
