ENLietuvių liaudies dainynas (The Book of Lithuanian Folk Songs) is an anthology of songs in a series of publications representing a long tradition of singing in Lithuania. It is compiled following a uniform and strictly defined structure, namely that of the catalogue of Lithuanian folk songs. The principles of the compilation of the book of songs have been formulated in the Instruction for the Compilation of Lithuanian Folk Songs (edited by Leonardas Sauka, 1980). The publication is compiled on the basis of a genre system. Lithuanian folk songs are classified into the following genres: wedding, work, calendar ceremonies, children, family, military-historical, youth, love, feasting, songs of literary origin, humorous-didactic songs, romances, polyphonic songs, ballads, laments, light and merry songs. Within the system of genre, songs are subdivided into smaller groups according to their functions and themes. Songs of one theme belong to certain types and are numbered. One type consists of all variants of one and the same song. Variants within one type are further subdivided into versions and variant groups. Such subdivision helps to reflect variations of poetic text as well as other distinct structural changes. In order to mirror the vitality and development of the singing tradition, variants with a larger degree of improvisation are also included. Songs of individual genres are published in a series.Songs included in a publication are provided with a commentary which states the number of variants forming one version or variant group, the place and time of recording a song, major publications, as well as significant moments of textual variation, contamination or joining of motives, thematic resemblance to songs of other genres, and comments on the performance of the song by the person presenting it. Type variants are presented in the way that best reflects peculiar features of the respective variation. Publications include authentic songs that are most valuable in terms of their poetic and musical characteristics, representing all ethnographic regions of the country. Starting with volume 15, the book of songs has been issued together with CDs containing the recordings of the songs of the publication. The CDs include only authentic recordings in order to reflect the versatility of the material being published. The primary source of this multi-volume publication of songs is the folklore archive of the Lithuanian Institute of Literature and Folklore. Material accumulated in other folklore funds as well as printed materials have also been used. The Lithuanian folklore archive is continuously updated with new, recently recorded material. Latest data finds its way into The Book of Lithuanian Folk Songs as well. The first volume of The Book of Lithuanian Folk Songs was issued in 1980. Over 30 years 22 volumes have been compiled and published covering songs of various genres. [From the publication]
