We present a novel approach for two-level segmentation of field recordings of folk music. The method uses audio recordings only and does not rely on prior knowledge given by an expert. The proposed algorithm combines an existing approach for higher-level segmentation of field recordings with a newly developed low-level segmentation method. On the higher level, method splits field recordings into individual units of the same type (speech, solo singing, choral singing …). On the lower level, the method further splits parts with solo and choral singing into individual repeating parts.

COBISS.SI-ID: 8558932Unfaithful wives are a common topic in European ballad tradition. The European tradition—including Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Sephardic (the entire Hispanic tradition), German, English, Scottish, French, Italian, Mongolian, Romanian, Hungarian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Croatian, and Slovenian ballads—thematizes unfaithfulness using a tragic but also humorous connotation. This article focuses on the Slovenian ballad “Nezvesta gospa s tremi stražarji/A” (An Unfaithful Wife with Three Guards/A), in which unfaithfulness is presented in a feudal environment and the exposed adultery is punished by death, and analyzes the ballad’s deep structure based on various theories addressing adultery.
