Understanding this historical background helps elucidate why this type of music was chosen for Communist propaganda, and why the Communist Party adapted Romanian Christmas music to their ideology rather than abolish the tradition altogether.	cache/currentmusicology-5042.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5042.txt
