Carinthian song

As Carinthian song refers to the entirety of the Carinthian folk song good . A more precise definition is difficult. Typical is an unaccompanied song in Carinthian dialect that is performed in four or five voices in the choir . Often there is a melancholy mood, which is often expressed through frequent use of the diminished fifth .

A more extensive collection of folk songs in Carinthia began around 1905, the year folk song committees were founded. The Society of Friends of Music in Vienna arranged a collection of folk songs all over Austria in 1819. Josef Mitterdorfer (1785–1838) from St. Jakob ob Gurk was one of two Carinthians who followed the request. He transmitted twelve songs in word and manner, with some songs having 18 or more stanzas. But they are not Carinthian songs in today's sense.

When collecting the folk songs, u. a. Anton Anderluh , with new poems a. a. Thomas Koschat , Gerhard Glawischnig , Justinus Mulle and Günther Mittergradnegger . In this context one speaks somewhat vaguely of the New Carinthian Song .
