Bulgarian folk music has received international recognition. The "Bulgarian Voices" are admired worldwide. The least known is the folk variety of this small Balkan country. This article presents the results of an investigation whose purpose was to gather information about the various folk regions of Bulgaria: Shopska,Trakiia, Rodopi, Pirin, Severniashka and Dobrudja. We conducted an analysis of regular and irregular rhythms and melodies in terms of modes, intervals and rhythms, and completed our investigation by examining the subject matter and the character of songs, instruments, dance, dress, customs, and rituals. We observed notable differences among some adjacent areas, such as the Pirin region, characterized by songs performed by two voices, and Rodopi, whose music is totally monodic.Downloads
