The purpose of this submitted scientific article is based onemphasizing of archaic musical styles evaluation problem in the earliestLithuanian folklore publications. The target of this investigation is definedon analysis of the historical music notations in the historical musicalfolklore editions. The methods of this represented exploration are formedon the basis of historical method, where some well-known stereotypeshave to be re-thought. Systemic method is also important here tounderstand the whole socio-cultural context of early notations ofLithuanian folk songs. The structurally analytical method allows maximalprofoundly holding out the contemporary outlook concerning previousactual investigations on this theme. The scientific newness of thepresented article is determined by new attitude for evaluation of earliestmusical styles throughout Lithuanian folklore heritage. The actual factsdiscovering from large period of historical times in Lithuanianethnomusicology might be understood as also important novelty of this ourscientific work. Conclusions. We are not allowed to bring guarantees, thatthe earliest musical descriptions of folk songs and their melodies are reallyearliest in historical life and development of local folk tradition. The described, fixed folklore materials are just very fragmentary moments,taken from the real and eternal folk life development both in Lithuaniancase, and worldwide. And this development has no any clear beginning,any clear outset. The main task of all ethnomusicologists is to find, tounderstand, and to evaluate the level of the antiquity and authenticity ofparticular local melodic tunes in the context, certainly, of all contemporaryscientific knowledge.
