Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to study the theme of "journey" in Greek lyrics during the history of Greek song, focusing on some of the musical genres that were created and developed. The identification of these musical genres will be approximate and based on the composer-creator, rather than on any strict adherence to dates, as many of them overlap in time. The search for the theme of "journey" in lyric writing includes both the narrow - literal sense of the term, and the broader - metaphorical sense. It covers the concept of moving from one place to another, escaping from everyday life, getting to know other cultures and cultural environments, the realm of imagination, broadening the spiritual horizon, changing the way of looking at life, and so on. The study deals with the meaning of the word "journey" in folk song.
