LTDvidešimt penktuoju "Lietuvių liaudies dainyno" tomu baigiamos skelbti darbo dainos. Į šią knygą sudėti kūriniai, susiję su ganymu, medžiokle ir žvejyba. Trimis skyriais jie pateikiami ir tome. Šie skyriai atitinka analogiškas Lietuvių literatūros ir tautosakos institute esančio Lietuvių liaudies dainų katalogo apimamas dainų grupes. Tomo medžiaga atrinkta iš - 8200 dainų tekstų ir 2550 melodijų, sujungtų į 365 tipus. Skelbiami 648 dainų tekstai, reprezentuojantys 277 tipus, ir 393 jų melodijos. Visa tai surinkta nuo XIX a. iki XXI a. pradžios visoje Lietuvoje ir lietuvių gyvenamose vietovėse už dabartinės šalies ribų - Baltarusijoje, Lenkijoje, Latvijoje, Rusijoje ir JAV. Didžioji dainų dalis imta iš Lietuvių literatūros ir tautosakos instituto Lietuvių tautosakos rankraštyno. Taip pat naudotasi XIX-XXI a. spausdintais tautosakos leidiniais, Rankraštyne saugomais buvusio Vilniaus pedagoginio universiteto studentų ir į Lietuvių liaudies dainų katalogą įtrauktais Vilniaus universiteto Lietuvių literatūros katedros studentų surinktos tautosakos rinkiniais. Pasitelkti ir Lietuvos muzikos ir teatro akademijos Mokslo centro Etnomuzikologijos skyriaus Muzikinio folkloro archyve saugomi rinkiniai ir garso įrašai. Taip papildytas pristatomų dainų vaizdas atskleidė anksčiau nepastebėtų teksto varijavimo ypatumų. Dėl to kiek pakeista Lietuvių liaudies dainų katalogo struktūra: suformuota naujų tipų, kai kurios dainos ar jų versijos iškeltos į kitus skyrius.

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 were 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 genres, 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 Vol. 15, the book of songs has been issued together with CDs containing 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 Institute of Lithuanian 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, 24 volumes have been compiled and published, covering songs of various genres. The 25,h volume of the Lithuanian Folk Songbook is the third book of work songs. The first book of work songs (Vol. 6) contains songs for working in the fields (rye, oat, and buckwheat harvesting), while the second book (Vol. 12) - songs for working at home and in the fields: cutting hay, working with flax, milling, spinning, weaving, and washing. This volume of the Songbook is the last book of work songs, covering the songs for herding (by herders and nightwatchers), songs about hunters and hunting, fishermen and fishing.
