ENComparative research works on Baltic – Slavic traditional music heritage are very important for detailed definition and understanding of both national folk music common features and whole folk life outlook. Regional features of Lithuanian (Dzūkija region) and Ukrainian folk songs might present the actual field for such investigations. Finding common ties in such cross-national folklore presentations might certify the historical relationship of whole national folklore sources. And primarily we have to pay our attention for the most archaic layers of folk songs, such as Calendar Christmas folk songs here. Melodic features of Lithuanian Dzūkija Advento-Kalėdų dainos and Ukrainian колядки, щедрiвки are as the object of our main attention in all such comparative studies at present. And we have to have on our mind not to leave outside the field of our attention related Belarusian, Polish and Russian (particularly neighboring South Pskovshchina region) Calendar Christmas folk songs in near future. Actuality of presented here article is based on lack of such comparative research works. The main its task is to pay attention for at least primarily results of such investigations and to present some data for them from Lithuanian side. This article contains the first attempts to present Lithuanian Calendar Christmas folk songs using the Syllable-Rhythmic Formulas (SRF) methodo-logical forms by V. Hoshovsky K. Kvitka, widely used by Ukrainian ethnomusicologists, and completely unknown for Lithuanian researchers up to present times.This way we defined the following SRF in the melodic lines of Lithuanian Dzūkija region Calendar Christmas folk songs: 1. One strophe SRF with refrain in the end of the strophe: 4r3, 44r3, 54r3 and 55r3. 2. Two strophes SRF without refrain: 333/333, 43/43, 44/44 and 66/66. 3. Two strophes SRF with refrain in the full first strophe (R44/55), with refrain in the full second strophe (43/R43) and in the end of both strophes (33 r3/33 r3). 4. Two strophes SRF with different text refrains in the end of both strophes (43 r'4/43 r"4). 5. SRF with the same framing refrains both in the beginning and in the end of the couplet, as well as in the middle of it (r3 /4 r3 4/ r3). There are possible more various other SRF in the melodic lines of Lithuanian Dzūkija region Calendar Christmas folk songs, and they might be defined later on, during completing more sources. Presented here article reflects just preliminary research results on actual Lithuanian – Ukrainian singing folklore items. Lo-cal melo-geography mapping of particular Lithuanian Calendar Christmas folk songs SRF is also on the table of our research tasks. We do hope for prolonging of actual comparative research studies both in Lithuania and Ukraine. [From the publication]
