| Bulgarian poetic folk
art originates in ancient times and has a centuries-old
history. The first preserved records of the existence
of folk singers and songs derive from the 9th and 10th
centuries. Most of the folk songs date from the 17th century.
Folk songs are an expression of the Bulgarian way of life
through the ages, resulting from the historical and social
fate of the country, from its experience and popular customs.
Bulgarians enrich the folk songs with their best qualities
- diligence, honesty, steadiness, loyalty, wit and love
of freedom. The songs grow from the inner needs of the
creators to give expression of their thoughts and experience.
They are sung on sad and joyful days - in the fields,
in the meadows, on working-bees, playing the Bulgarian
ring dance, called HORO, in the gathering places of the
rebels - called HAIDOUTI. Their creators are the folk
singers - people with poetical and musical talent. The
songs as well as the fairy tales, riddles, proverbs and
sayings are a product of joint creative work. As the folk
songs were spread by word of mouth they changed and had
many versions. Since the books were not easily accessible
to the working people, folklore and songs were the source
of their experience, wisdom and knowledge. According to
their subject Bulgarian folk songs are ritual songs, labour
songs, customs songs, historical, heroic and songs about
the Haidouti. |
