Zusammenfassung: | <p>By orienting itself towards an academic-aesthetic sound ideal and thereby almost fully ignoring the music's original functions, the Bavarian folk music cultivation movement (Volksmusikpflege) has created, over the course of decades, a totally transformed sound in contrast to the original models. In the mid-1980s the own "Wilden im eigenen Land" (savages in one's own country) were discovered in the form of traditional village music ensembles. Such bands were based on strong family traditions which, until recent decades, dominated in Bavarian music-making. Using the example of a meter-shifting dance, the author investigates, with the help of detailed transcriptions, what distinguishes such traditional groups from the newer folk music (in this case, particularly brass music) cultivation groups. The traditional form of music-making, with its almost for gotten vitality, must simply be judged by its own standards. This does not mean uniform ensemble playing but rather it is the result of a unique musicality acquired over many years that each individual musician brings to the ensemble.</p> |
