Pastorácia Rómov a jej vplyv na piesňový repertoár

Year, pages: 2013, 306 - 329

The spiritual and religious life of the Roma is, for the majority, little known. In the past the Roma ordinarily tended to affiliate to whatever church denomination was dominant in their surroundings. The situation in the religious field has been changing since 1990 and various church societies have begun to conduct missionary activity among the Roma. Missionary activity has an influence also on the song repertoire, where religious song has found a place. Many of these songs are composed by Roma themselves, with a part taken from the repertoire of church hymns or from the repertoire of so-called praises and adapting either the music or the lyrics of the work. They call these songs praises or gospels. They understand them as prayer, a celebration of God. The singing is accompanied by a strong emotional expresion, with gestures of the hands and movements of the body. The songs are sung at common church ceremonies, at home prayers within the family, and at festivals of religious song, but they also penetrate the repertoire of everyday life.
