Designed for undergraduates with little or no background in world
music, Music in Bulgaria is one of several volumes that can be used
along with Thinking Musically, the main book in the Global Music
Series, in any introductory world music or ethnomusicology course.
It provides an overview of the cultural, historical and political
meaning of traditional Bulgarian music and begins by exploring how
Bulgaria's rural traditions affect the expression and
interpretation of its music. It goes on to examine how the
country's social, political and economic histories have influenced
its music over many decades. The book also shows how the musical
traditions of Bulgaria have been preserved despite the social
changes brought about by the post-World War II era of
industrialization and urbanization. It analyses how Bulgarian music
has spread throughout other cultures and how it has made its mark
on new forms of popular music.
