The author bases her research on musical materials from an expedition undertaken by her into the Perm Region in June 2011. For the first time the attention of musical research has been directed towards the musical traditions of the rituals of the agricultural calendar, which have been in existence up to the present day among the Perm Tatars in the framework of the yearly cycle. Previously undiscovered examples of vocal and instrumental folk musical culture are given in-depth analysis.
