Бучкури Свадебный-поезд, Russian Empire
Summary
Русский: А. А. Бучкури. Свадебный поезд. 1912. Собрание ВОХМ им. И. М. Крамского
The wedding rite combines linguistic, folklore-poetic, ritual, musical, pictorial and other plans. The ritual function can have actions and objects participating in it, as well as performers of these actions. Russian wedding rites have their own peculiarities in different regions: in the north of Russia the "musical" part consists almost entirely of oaths, in the south - of cheerful songs, the role of oaths there is more formal. However, the rite is always not an arbitrary collection of songs and ritual actions, but a well-organised system.
