THE JUSTIFICATION OF MYTHS IN RITUAL CALENDAR SONGS AMONGST ALBANIANS
Humans learned to celebrate religious rituals,
celebrations for hunting or for the beginning of seasons, and accompanied them
with ritual songs, which can still be found in regions that haven’t been
influenced by ‘modernity’ yet. However, it is difficult to imagine a dumb civilization, unable to sing in order to
express its feelings. The song has often given voice to collective passions
during important moments of work, faith (ideality) and pleasure.
