The aim of this paper is to get an overview of the lament metrics in Seto oral song tradition, which belongs to the southern border area of the Finnic song tradition, and the placement and historical development of lament metrics in the framework of the whole Seto oral song tradition. In the paper the metrical structures of two main genres of Seto choral laments – choral bridal laments and death laments – are analysed that share common features with solo laments and are similar to the structures of Seto runosongs. Metrical structures of the laments are detected based on sound recordings, taking into account the linguistic structure of the lines and the varied realization of it in a musical performance rhythm. The analysis showed that laments’ metrics where 5-unit end structures play an important role, differs the most from the main body of runosongs and is structurally more similar to a group of runosongs with refrains and varying line length. Outlining the development patterns of the metrical system of Seto songs, the influences of local unique musical tradition with varied rhythmic structures atypical of the most runosong area, specific functions of ritual song genres, historical changes in language, as well as possible external connections to early eastern and southern song cultures are highlighted.

润之歌语境下的濑户合唱哀歌的度量

本文的目的是对属于芬兰歌曲传统南部边境地区的濑户口语歌曲传统中的哀叹度量进行概述，以及哀叹度量在整个濑户口语框架中的位置和历史发展。歌曲传统。本文分析了两种主要类型的濑户合唱哀歌——合唱新娘哀歌和死亡哀歌——的格律结构，它们与独奏哀歌具有共同特征，并且与濑户润之歌的结构相似。感叹的韵律结构是根据录音检测出来的，同时考虑到线条的语言结构以及在音乐表演节奏中的不同实现。分析表明，5单元末端结构发挥重要作用的哀叹指标，与runosongs的主体不同，在结构上更类似于一组runosongs，带有副歌和不同的行长。概述濑户歌韵律系统的发展模式，当地独特的音乐传统的影响，具有非典型的最典型的节奏结构，仪式歌曲流派的具体功能，语言的历史变化，以及可能与早期的外部联系突出了东方和南方的歌曲文化。
