Play media fileThe Guarding Song is a song genre; songs that are usually sung during feasts , festive meals, or songs that describe feasts themselves [1] .
It is believed that the genre was actively developed in Russia in the XVIII century [1] , the question of its sources is controversial. From the point of view of A. V. Pozdneev, the emergence of the genre in Russia belongs to the Petrine era [2] , however, according to TA Kolomiychenko [1] , this was preceded by an oral tradition of wedding and comic songs.
Already at the beginning of the 18th century, household songs with couplet construction and simple rhythmics ( cants ) were widely distributed, and among them stand up canteens (then called “canteens”) gradually emerged. In the press, drinking songs appeared from the second half of the 18th century:
- the section “Canteen Songs” in addition to the third part of the “Collection of Different Songs” by M. D. Chulkov (1773);
- the sections “Songs for Dinners, Monophonic” and “Songs for Dining, Choirs” in section XLIX of the sixth book of the collection “The Russian Erath, or the Choice of the Best Russian Songs” by MI Popov (1792);
- the section “Songs for the Table” in the second part of the “Pocket Songbook, or the Collection of the Best Secular and Ordinary Songs” by I. I. Dmitriev (1796).
