Ceremonial wedding tunes (svadobne noty) were sung during the traditional wedding ceremony in Slovakia, usually a cappella by women, at specific moments of the wedding sequence with context-appropriate texts. Through village women‘s recollections of the wedding repertoire and ceremonial wedding practices of the past, the functions are explored that wedding tunes (svadobne noty) may have played in the traditional village life before and during the socio-economic and cultural transformations that took place in Slovakia in the course of the twentieth century.
