In his collecting activity in Slovakia Karol Plicka (1894 – 1987) gave particular attention to the Záhorie region. Taking the example of the village of Jablonica in the eastern part of this region, we demonstrate the collector’s interest in the local song repertoire, individual singers, and the specific vocal style of ornamentation in Záhorie. Using source criticism, a repertoire was identified to the extent of 187 songs, recorded from 26 singers in this locality. Particularly useful are the written records of songs by the singers Pavol Pinkava and Agneša Pinkavová. Their song repertoire contains principally ballads, wedding, and dance and love songs. In his studies the collector also gave particular attention to Pavol Pinkava as an individual singer: the records of embellished singing as rendered by this singer are comparable to the records of the singing of Eva Studeničová, an outstanding singer from the village of Moravský sv. Ján in the western part of Záhorie. The records of songs performed by other singers are instructive as regards observation of song variants, and they highlight the contemporary condition and preservation of folk singing in local tradition.
