Abstract

The five State songs,inherited from the old time are in the Zasagt banner. (They are also called as the religious and State songs). Five songs/hymns of religion and state: 1: Bayanun Tsagaan Altan Delkhii. 2: Yalguusan Erkhet Dalai Lama. 3: Namyan Dalai. 4: Praise of Mount Bayanzurkh. 5: Ungu Saitai.The five State songs, inherited from the old time in the Zasagt banner have been sung untill now.Three of them are long-songs and two of them short songs. The folk songs, passed on for many years are value of the unforgettable cultural heritage. The song”A Praise of mountain Bayanzurkh”has been sung over hundred years and we have analysed its three versions. The reason that the song is not changed for the full hundred years may be connected to the preservation of the specific “soul”, carried out by the worshipped mountain in comparison with the praise song/folk song changed by singers who enriched in their improvisation.
