Abstract

In this article, for the first time in history of
studies of the Adyghe (Circassan) folk music, the

semiotics. In particular, compositional features of
the verbal and musical components of a historico-
heroic song are considered along the lines of
semantic analysis.

Keywords: ethnomusicology, folklore of Ciscaucasia, Adyghe people folklore, musical semantics
