na ional yalues.
In oduc ion
The spi i ual image o e e y na ion is i idly e lec ed in i s musical he i age, especially
in i s songs. Ancien songs a e ecognized as an impo an cul u al phenomenon ha clea ly
exp esses he people’s way o li e, hei posi ion in social p ocesses, wo ld iew, and mo al alues.
The idea ha “old songs and old educa ion a e ou oday’s songs and oday’s educa ion”
emphasizes he need o scien i ically analyze he o ganic connec ion be ween adi ion and
mode ni y.
Music is conside ed an essen ial componen o human spi i uali y. I no only exp esses
emo ions bu also plays a g ea ole in shaping human consciousness, educa ion, and he p ocess
o socializa ion. In pa icula , olk songs a e he b igh es mani es a ion o a na ion’s spi i uali y
— h ough hem, he his o y, mo ali y, and wo ld iew o a people a e clea ly e ealed.
I we explain he educa ional unc ion o songs wi h a clea example, le us ake he song
“Ay ilma” by Makh umquli — a song much lo ed by ou ances o s. The poem was w i en by he
g ea poe Makh umquli, he melody was composed by he mas e Komiljon O aniyozo , and also
pe o med by Komiljon O aniyozo himsel . He e we can see a combina ion o se e al a o ms,
namely:
he a o poe y (li e a y a )
he a o melody
he a o ins umen al pe o mance
he a o singing
he a o ocal pe o mance
All hese a e ha moniously uni ed wi h a single pu pose — o educa e and upli he lis ene
and he indi idual.
“Mas ona yu ghancha ghay i ella da, Unib o‘sgan o‘z yu indan ay ilma,
Bi ma’lum kaklikdek na sing yo‘linda, Doma ushib qano ingdan ay ilma.
Doma ushib qano ingdan ay ilma, ay ilma...”
Tha is — “Do no pa om you homeland whe e you g ew up; do no lose you wings
o he sake o wo ldly desi es; do no pa om you eache who educa ed you.”
You see, he e is ad ice, spi i uali y, melody, and ha mony in his. Among young people,
we can hold lec u es abou pa io ism and lo e o he homeland. Howe e , his single song can
di ec ly each he hea s o e e y young lis ene — boys and gi ls alike — guiding hem owa d
goodness and p e en ing hem om making mis akes.
