Abstract: Local music and dance literature refers to those documents whose contents are characterized by the local color of regional music and dance. A literature database of local music and dance serves as the pedestal for academic construction and research carried out in the field of local music and dance. At present, the construction of local music and dance literature database is far from sufficient in China, and with the development of academic studies in music and dance, more and more scholars are supposed to use local music and dance literature as reference resources. So it is a necessary requirement in the course of disciplinary development that a special literature database of local music and dance be set up, for which the present essay is an exploration in its research categories, methods and goals.

Abstract: The subject of the article is "Suite of Three Songs" by Nikolay Stoykov. The three parts of the suite cycle are created on the basis of Bulgarian folk songs, distinguished by bright, memorable intonations and non-traditional structure. The folk songs are not similar, but differ significantly one from the other in terms of character and structure of the melody. This, as well as the fact that the work was created in a relatively early period of the artistic development of the composer, i.e. in that period he is more unprejudiced, more immediately and intuitively experiencing the influence of the folklore primary source, the professional experience is already available, but it still has not taken hold over the tonal artist with its analytical-rational influence; makes the suite cycle especially appropriate to examine the path from the emotional response, which the folk song produces, to the new, author's work. In the article are analized the specifics of the melodies in the three folk chants and the musical-expressive means, used by Nikolay Stoykov in constructing the suite cycle.

Perceiving Music – One of Fundamental Activities at Mass School

Abstract: The two musical activities – performing and perceiving music in the mass school – are equally important. However, while to perform music after finishing school is random, to work and create in a ‘sounding” environment is something people do all their lives. That makes the problem of perceiving music very important – what music people are taught to choose, i.e. whether school has set and developed their musical-artistic taste; also how people listen, i.e, if they are trained to listen with understanding. The role of the musical teacher in the school of general education has thus become really important, so the question if the music teacher is well trained to cope with the high-level requirements of his job is crucial. The responsible attitude of the music pedagogue towards perceiving music, which is particularly important for educating cultural listeners of music, would suggest other promising forms of work in class and outside of class.

Abstract: Since certain intellectual efforts are needed for the "understanding" of musical language, this creates a beneficial opportunity for the mass musical education to have a serious impact on the intellectual development of students. For revealing the capabilities of positive influence of music classes in the general secondary school, I examine the questions and tasks for: a purposeful observation with an element of assessment, comparison, seeking a solution and a practical application of the obtained knowledge, restructuring information. These kinds of questions and tasks are set in a textbook for the sixth grade of the general secondary school.

Abstract: The nestinar (fire-dancer) rituals, involving dances on embers, were practiced by the ancient Thracians. Today, they have been preserved in several Bulgarian villages in south-eastern Strandzha Mountain, as well as in the village of Stomanovo, the Rhodope Mountains, Southwestern Bulgaria. Such rituals are performed also in several villages in Northern Greece, where they have been carried over by migrants from Strandzha. While in the villages in Strandzha and in Northern Greece, Christian traditions have been overlaid on the ancient pagan ritual - the faith and devotion to Sv. Sv. Konstantin and Elena, for the inhabitants of Stomanovo (whose ritual I will describe in the present exposition), the ritual has not be Christianized - for them, it has remained a pagan Thracian Orphic tradition (well, the legendary Thracian singer and healer, Orpheus, creator of the "Orphism" belief system, lived in the Rhodope Mountains), an expression of the cult to the Great Goddess-Mother, her son Sabazios (Sun-Fire), Zagrey (the Bull God) and, as the people of Stomanovo described it themselves - a celebration of life, of fertility.
