  "lineage": "Latvian dainas folk-quatrain song tradition: the canonical Latvian oral-poetic-and-song corpus comprising over 1.2 million collected four-line quatrains in trochaic-tetrameter or dactyl-tetrameter form, documenting the entire Latvian rural-life-cycle from birth-rituals through wedding-cycle through funeral-rites. Compiled by Krišjānis Barons (1835-1923) in the canonical six-volume Latvju Dainas (1894-1915), the largest single-author folklore-collection in any language. Performance configuration: unaccompanied solo or small-group female-voice in characteristic narrow-range pentatonic-or-modal melodic vocabulary with strict daina meter. The post-1991 Latvian-independence cultural-revival under the Song-and-Dance Celebration (Latvian: Dziesmu un deju svētki) has consolidated institutional transmission. Distinguished from broader Baltic vocal music by daina's strict quatrain-form and Krišjānis Barons canonical-corpus reference.",
