This article is concerned with the presence of sounds and phonic rituals in the tradition of commemoration. Commemoration expressed by sounds is a particularly vivid and full of expression experience of memory. In phonic commemoration rituals sound experience seems to be as essential as time experience.

In this context, those forms of commemoration that are associated with national martyrdom, wars and uprisings, merit special attention.
