4.2. Aeolian Caramazan tunes (ex.39-41, №308-326)

Similarly to other Aeolian Kyrgyz songs, the Aeolian Caramazan tunes are widely diverse, and they hardly condense into large homogeneous groups.

4.2.1. Two-lined Aeolian Caramazan tunes (ex.39/1-4, №308-316). Let us start with the songs of distinctly motivic construction, including different motifs or series of motifs. Particular note should be taken of №308, a unique tune in the entire Kyrgyz corpus with its (VII) main cadence. What is more, this tune is followed by a coda cadencing on (4). Similar is the beginning of №309, followed by a coda of short Ionian lines and having (5) main cadence. The following are the two-lined Caramazan tunes:
