Abstract:
This paper will present the dancing repertoire of Serbs in Pomorišje from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. The data, crucially collected within the rigorous Ethnocamp – Study research of the musical traditional folklore of Banat, and a small amount of literature that deals with this topic, form the basis of this study. ABSTRACT This paper will present the dancing repertoire of Serbs in Pomorišje from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. The data, crucially collected within the rigorous Ethnocamp – Study research of the musical traditional folklore of Banat, and a small amount of literature that deals with this topic, form the basis of this study. The first part of the paper is devoted to the material collected from the literature. In contrast, the second part presents the results of modern, systematic field research, permanently realized within Kikinda’s Ethnocamp.
The paper meticulously follows the chronological order of the research findings, starting with the oldest, the description of the dance made by the officer Stanislav Šumarski in 1846. It then moves on to the precious memories and descriptions of the Serbian kolo, by Imre Paluđai from 1855. A detailed description of the dance was presented by Antal Hadžić, from 1891; as well as details from Uroš Predić’s painting, Srpsko kolo, from 1890, which is the only visual representation of dance in this area from that period. The mention of Serbian dances in Vojvodina by historian Dušan J. Popović, is also significant, as well as an exceptional and extensive description of Serbian dances from the Arad County by Ištvan M. Kolarov from 1912, which represents a source of particular importance. Sava Ilić and Tihomir Vujičić left us information on the names of dances in the Romanian and Hungarian parts of the Pomorišje (middle of the 20th century) as well as musical notations of the same dances. I would especially single out the published scientific study by Dr. Laszlo Felfeldi (2003), which is an exceptional contribution to the research and preservation of the dance heritage of the Serbs in the Hungarian Pomorišje Region.
