Departing from recent Bulgarian discourses that have emerged in the new millennium and often regard Bulgarian responses to the Prague Spring as nearly non-existing, a closer look at music and the arts reveals a more detailed picture. Here, ?1968? is especially interesting since it saw the beginning of a Bulgarian New Folklore Wave that challenged existing compositional models for adapting folk music. Furthermore, right before the military intervention in Czechoslovakia in August, the Bulgarian capital Sofia became a center of international attention for hosting the 9th World Festival of Youth and Students. Finally, a look at a series of infamous party meetings held at the Union of Bulgarian Composers in November 1968 reveals that unknown protagonists managed to destroy paper evidence that could have shed a better light at the events of this year.","PeriodicalId":30174,"journal":{"name":"Muzikologija-Musicology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68536531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was also stated that the patriarchal ifos by inertia and not always justifiably attributed to the singers who were active in the Church of St. George on Fanar.

Music School and then the Belgrade Music School. The critical reception of his compositional work can be followed for almost seven decades. Performances of Rajicic?s works often provoked controversies and polemics - which speak not only about the composer?s oeuvre itself, but even more so about the state of musical life of Belgrade, Serbia and Yugoslavia in the 20th century. Thus we analyze the reception of Rajicic?s work in the light of historical events that crucially influenced the development of Serbian art music throughout the twentieth century. The article is based on the study of extensive archival material preserved at the Institute of Musicology SASA, Radio Belgrade, as well as private collections.","PeriodicalId":30174,"journal":{"name":"Muzikologija-Musicology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68537344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The manuscript has not survived in its entirety - it is missing the first part which contained stichera of the Lenten cycle; the extant part contains the pentecostarion cycle of stichera. It was written in the Russian recension. The manuscript has probably been kept at the monastery ever since its establishment and could have been even procured by St. Sava at the time of the formation of the monastery library. Its presence at the Serbian monastery confirms that there were no linguistic or practical liturgical obstacles to its use in religious services. Since the Serbian manuscript heritage does not include surviving sticheraria as a type of liturgical book, its content is highly interesting. This paper explores the interrelationship between the sticherarion and corresponding services in the oldest Serbian triodion, copied in the first half of the 13th century and now kept in the National Library of Russia in Saint Petersburg (F. ?. I. 68). Two services were selected as examples - the service for the Mid-Pentecost (Midfeast) and the service to the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council. An initial careful comparison already revealed the appearance of different translations of the texts shared by both manuscripts. Also, it was found that only a part of stichera in the sticherarion appear in full triodion services, in which stichera make up just one segment of the service as a complex hymnographic ensemble.","PeriodicalId":30174,"journal":{"name":"Muzikologija-Musicology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68536085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
