Russian song and game repertoire of Luza Komi

The article is concerned with the song and the game repertoire of Luza Komi. The collection was found in the Folklore archive of Syktyvkar State University named after Pitirim Sorokin. The studied micro local tradition of the Priluzskiy district of the Komi Republic covers an extensive territory with several groups of settlements in the Lusa River basin (inflow of the river South). The songs were recorded in several settlements, which earlier belonged to Lalsky and later to Ust-Sysolsky County of the Vologda Province. As a result of folklore expeditions and research practices of the employees and students of Syktyvkar State University 10 song and game plots in 40 recorded variants and more than 30 descriptions of the youth meetings were recorded. Practically, the whole song and game repertoire of Luza Komi has developed from Russian traditions. The repertoire included game songs, singing and dancing in a ring, (songs and games were executed in a circle and in a round dance «a row on a row»). At the end of the expedition a small amount of song plots was revealed: among them were some unique songs unknown to other archives. The registration of the texts took place a long time afterwards (1990-2000) and as a result many of them are presented in the form of fragments, songs' narrations, and nominal fixation (at the level of recollection of one or two song lines).
