Traditional singing and music playing |
|---|
| The National List presents musical activities preserving and sustaining the ancient folklore musical culture in its genuine state, void of professional arrangement and academic training. Special attention is paid to the activities being part of a whole rite complex, including music and dancing.
Traditional singing and music playing is remarkable for its specific dialectal peculiarities. They are reflected in a number of differences: in sound making (in singing – chest voice, chest-and-guttural voice, guttural voice, head voice, nasal voice, falsetto; in music making – in sound making when playing on wind/stringed/percussive instruments; in training; in the size of the instruments, etc.), in sound power and in resultant melody volume or voice diapason, as well as in ornamentation. These peculiarities define the existence of performance practices specific for the following regions: Shopp, Rhodopi Mountain, Pirin Mountain, Thracian, Strandzha Mountain, Dobrudzha, North Bulgarian (Western and Eastern inner variance), Sredna Gora Mountain, Pazardzhik and Ihtiman region, Velingrad.

The item for specific performative practices includes kinds of music playing that had first appeared in the Bulgarian National Revival period. They have initially come into being in an urban milieu and had more often been a matter of foreign musical influence.
