Singing is a part of human life; its roots go back to the distant past. Over the course of the twentieth century, the purposes, and functions of singing in the life of the societies have undergone considerable modification. The transmission of traditional values and phenomena involves the preservation of original functions of folk songs. In the field of vocal music culture, the transmission of values, takes place in self-education circles, in the systemic framework of education and public education, or with personal intellectual motivation. Such transmission however cannot lead to the continuation of traditional functions of folk songs, since in these contexts we can usually expect a modification of the functions of singing. We analyse in detail the functions of singing as a form of behaviour that have been developed in traditional folk culture. Through the paper we draw attention to the issue of preserving the content and aesthetic values of folk song in contemporary societies and in the context of various forms of education.

To the present day, the song repertoire of Slovaks from Stará Pazova has preserved distinctive musical features, which had already attracted the attention of 20th century researchers. Among these is the fact that the pentatonic scale is richly represented in traditional Slovak songs of this locality. In classifying the individual pentatonic groups we proceed from the classification method of Zoltán Kodály, who distinguishes four pentatonic groups of songs. The author of this article describes Kodály’s method and subsequently applies it to the song material from Stará Pazova. Using ethnomusicological analysis, she further specifies the individual pentatonic groups from the area. With the new characterisation of the pentatonic, there is also a new hypothesis on the origin of this specific musical feature in traditional Slovak singing in this locality.
