The paper deals with the music repertoire of traditional instrumental ensembles and solo musicians in the border region of Slovakia and Moravia in the western tip of the White Carpathians (the area of Myjava, Horňácko, Moravské Kopanice and the border area of lower Trenčín and Uherskobrodsko) before the 1960s. The basic criterion in the classifying the repertoire is its connection to dance. In addition to the musical parameters of individual repertoire segments, attention is paid also to their cultural and social context, and also to the process of building the music repertoire and the differences that depend on the type of instrument ensembles (string bands, brass music).
