Abstract

The study is devoted to the allocation, fixation, and historical substantiation of the authenticity of the Old Believer tradition of bell ringing, widespread in the countries of Southeast Europe, America, and the Kuban region of Russia. The analysis of a number of video and audio recordings of bell ringing in the parishes of the Old Believers of the Belokrinitskaya and Novozybkovskaya hierarchies is carried out. For the first time, the Old Believers tradition of the bell ringing is highlighted. A hypothesis is put forward about the deep historical roots of this tradition based on the history of settlement and isolated residence of Old Believers in emigration. The proofs of the possibility of preserving this tradition among the Old Believers in conditions of cultural isolation since the end of the 18th century are presented. On the basis of the video recording of the bell ringing characteristic of this tradition, the recording of the Lipovan tradition was made on a specialized staff. The compositional structure and elemental content of this ringing is described, the unique features of this tradition are highlighted. The comparison of the musical-rhythmic and technical features of the tradition with the elements of the ringing of the modern academic bell- ringing school is carried out
