The research focuses on music performers at liturgies and funeral rituals, so the main issue addresses the music repertoire, the cultural and historical status of the cantor and funeral singers, and their role in the community. The paper is based on the observation in both Hungarian and Slovenian communities in Prekmurje region and in the Raba Valley, both within Protestant and Catholic churches.</span></span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Traditiones}, author={Šivic, Urša}, year={2019}, month={Jun.}, pages={113–131} }
