Abstract: The paper continues the publication of the results of a comprehensive study of the calendar folk-ethnographic cycle of Belarusian-settlers of Siberia and the Far East. This study is related to the preparation of the second part of the volume of Belarusian folklore to be published in the series “Monuments of folklore of the peoples of Siberia and the Far East.” The main attention is paid to the characteristics of the repertoire of Belarusian calendar songs of the Siberian region. The entire annual calendar cycle of the Belarusian folklore is divided into three seasons – winter, spring and summer-autumn, each consisting of several ritual and ethnographic complexes. The song repertoire of holiday complexes has a hierarchical organization, including the actual ritual songs and songs of various genres, dedicated to the rite or season. For example, the ritual songs of the Christmastide (The Christmas – New Year – Epiphany, the central holiday complex of the winter season) include complimentary roundabout songs: carols, generosities, sowing songs, as well as songs accompanying the ritual games “The Goat” and “The Marriage of Tereshka.” The folklore versions of Orthodox troparii are dedicated to the rites. The songs performed during evening parties for young people – vechoroshniye songs, dance songs, lyrics are seasonally timed. In addition, during the calendar holidays, a large number of songs from the everyday repertoire are played. Along with the scientific terminology, the ethnographic and folk designations of song genres available in the sources are given, and their distinctive textual markers are indicated.

Keywords: traditional culture of Siberia, calendar folklore, Belarusian-settlers, song genres
