Abstract

Two-part singing of epic narrative songs in Croatia is nearly unknown. This is the reason to present examples of such a kind of singing from Northern Dalmatia (Bukovica Area, Ravni kotari Area, and the isles near Zadar). Apart from performances in which texts of epic songs are sung in full, there are also performances in which only short, or somewhat longer, extracts of the texts of the epic songs are sung. These can be heard e.g. at weddings, as an accompaniment to the kolo dance, and at certain other occasions.
