The image of nineteenth-century Polish folklore as documented by Oskar Kolberg emerges as multidimensional and organic. It has been the deciding factor in ensuring the continuity of traditional culture, which now, under the influence of fast-developing civilization of the modern times, seems inevitably doomed to extinction. Cut off from its religious-philosophical foundations, rituals, genres and functions, the folklore loses much of its artistic and educational value. The authoress asks several questions concerning this topic; the effects of the impoverishment of rituality, the reasons of uniqueness and value of regional traditions, the possibilities of the regeneration of folklore and its character (local, national or supranational). Three studies analyzing the repertory in relation to changing conditions in three frontier regions of North-Eastern Poland (Szczytno area in Mazuria - epresenting Polish-German, Catholic-Protestant boundary; Punski-Sejnenski region - Polish-Lithuanian boundary; Podlasie - Polish-Belarussian, Catholic-Orthodoc neighborhood) are presented, to provide a rich material for the discussion on these aspects of music traditions subjected to historical, political and sociological pressures.

The authoress stresses the need for integrated research into folklore, which would place the analysis and interpretation of songs in the context of a ritual or a performance situation, defining its place and function in a given ritual and its dramatic development and establishing the place of a given ritual within the annual or familial cycle. Such a perspective is important for interpreting the songs' symbolism and for investigating the interdependencies between the content, expression and style of the songs, and the purpose of the ritual. The differentiation of style of extant ritual songs can bring insight to the differentiations in the lifestyle of those who created and sang them. These interdependencies are analysed in the spring songs repertoire of the Podlasie region.
