| Summary: | The settlement of the population is cosmopolitan, not only in Smyrna, but also in the other Ionian cities. Regarded as a “memory” of the last fatherlands, the songs are their testimony and expression, product of the urban Greek lower middle class growing up in the micrasiatic economical and cultural development of the years 1880-1922. We can read through it a society with its conventions, morals as it is found alive, omnipresent, till 1922, and transmits a form of Ionian Hellenism. It is a material for musicology study but allows also an approach of mentalities, behaviors, problems and evolutions of the “small patries” and presents evocation, images of Smyrna, the Aegean shores and the sea, the daily life, collective as private of an important population. |
