Like folk songs from the rest of the world, Georgian songs are connected with events of daily life – work songs, laments, lullabies, songs about historical events or figures, ritual songs, healing songs, traveling songs, comic songs, and dance songs. The category of Table Songs and the tradition of the Supra (a ritual banquet with elaborate toasts and singing) are an important musical genre which occupies a central position in the culture of the Republic of Georgia. Traditionally, Georgian songs are in three polyphonic voice parts, and the authors have provided many pedagogical tools for learning: printed music and lyric sheets, pronunciation guides, song backgrounds, plus audio recordings.
