The class of “proper songs” is used on all kinds of occasions, just for the pleasure of singing. Usually, they are lyric songs, but not meant for a special opportunity, like lullabies or wedding songs. The proper songs are very popular and can appear in all kinds of performancies, both individual and in groups, both by women and men, both with and without accompaniment, etcetera.

The regional variations are great on all kinds of musical aspects, like harmonic accompaniments, preference for melodic or rhythmic configurations, use of ornamentations and so on. Especially the ornamentations are strongly bound to folkloristic zones, so that a singer of one zone cannot simply learn the style of another zone – the ornamentation style behaves like the dialect in language.
