Otroške glasbene igre na Kosovu

Abstract

The paper presents the digital video collection of children’s play songs recorded in rural and urbal settlements in Kosovo in 2010. The data collected through exploratory method are related to the play songs children play during their leisure time in the school, at home and on the streets. The process of digitisation of the recorded material also included a catalogue with metadata about the play songs and the informants. The digital catalogue consists of 1,281 entries from 1,114 informants. A sample of 50 melodic and 50 rhytmic play songs was selected. The 100 items were transcribed into notation with textual and graphic descriptions of the play songs, and the additional data catalogized. The entire digital collection (156.83 GB) was deposited in the archive BuzAr, while the collection of the 100 transcriptions was published in Kosovo in 2013. The secondary and tertiary data from the catalogue, as well as our direct insight into the recording, digitisation and transcription process, were used during the data analysis which relied on descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, contingency tables and chi-square test.
