Description
Researching long songs in the comparative-typological aspect as the ethnographical and folklore musical phenomenon in the ethnic cultural tradition of Mongolians helps to comprehend and appreciate the contribution of Central Asia's nomads to the world culture. Comparative analyses of nomads' long songs will help to comprehend ethnic cultural features defining this phenomenon. Perhaps researching the genetic and structural features of long songs will allow revealing the connection between other genres of the song spread among Mongolians. That is why it is considered to research long songs as an integral phenomenon in the context of the ethnic cultural traditions of Mongolians.
