Children's musical heritage of Slavonia and Srijem

Rad se bavi dječjoj glazbenom baštinom Slavonije i Srijema, a usmjeren je na dječje pjesme koje su bake i djedovi pjevali djeci te na plesove i brojalice. Baština je dio povijesti svakog naroda, sadrži vrijednosti i elemente koji svaki narod čuva i tako ističe svoj identitet. U dječju baštinu spadaju i dječji običaji, a neki od njih su prikazani u radu. Najviše se ističu godišnji običaji u kojima su djeca najviše i sudjelovala. Dječja glazbena baština pokraj pjesmica i igara s pjevanjem obuhvaća i plesanje, a danas je najčešće njeguju kulturno-umjetnička društva. Dječji folklor koji se njeguje unutar kulturno-umjetničkih društva, obuhvaća pjesmice, igre i plesove. Na taj način djeca upoznaju običaje svoga kraja prenošene generacijama, što čini glazbu prisutnom u životu djeteta od najranijeg djetinjstva. Djeca pomoću pjesmica i igara lakše pamte i brže uče te zadovoljavaju svoje potrebe. Primjenom različitih glazbenih sadržaja potiče se dječja kreativnost, ali i razvijaju se dječje sposobnosti i ljubav prema glazbi. Danas glazba i običaji nekog kraja mogu se vidjeti na manifestacijama ili smotrama folklora. U radu se prikazuju najčešće pjevana i izvođena dječja folklorna baština, a to su: dječje pjesme, igre, običaji, brojalice te narodni plesovi.The paper is about the children’s musical heritage of Slavonia and Syrmia. It focuses on children's songs that grandparents used to sing to their grandchildren, dances, and counting songs. Heritage is a part of history of every nation; it contains values and elements that each nation preserves and uses to highlight their identity. Children’s customs can also be listed under children’s heritage, and some of them are mentioned in the paper. The most prominent ones are the annual customs, in which the children most often participated. Children’s musical heritage includes not only songs and singing games, but also dancing, which is most often preserved by cultural-artistic societies. Children’s folklore preserved within cultural-artistic societies includes songs, games, and dances. By participating in such activities, children get to know the customs of their region that have been passed down through generations, which makes sure that music is a part of their lives since early childhood. Children use songs and games to remember things more easily and learn faster. Using different musical content encourages the development of children’s creativity, their abilities, and love for music. These days, music and customs of a certain region can be seen at various festivals and folk dance ensemble concerts. But the paper touches upon most often performed children’s folklore heritage. Those are: children’s songs, games, customs, counting songs, and traditional dances
