ON THE FACTORS RELATED TO THE CREATION OF “O’LAN”

Abstract

It is difficult to imagine the genre of o’lan without reference to various ceremonies in our people’s tradition. From nearly all of them, the scent of the ceremonies long observed by our people is wafting. “If one refers to any ceremony, one notices chroeographic, or dramatic, or musical, or artistic‑verbal elements.”[3,11] The majority of o’lans were created in connection with a wedding ceremony, while a portion appear to have emerged under the influence of seasonal ceremonies.
