Abstract

Folkloric music and dance in Bulgaria are performed as has been for generations, but also present are innovative hybrids in text, form, and instrumentation. Historically, traditional musical activities were divided by gender with singing a priority for women and playing instruments for men. This has been rapidly changing as in so many countries, and gender is no longer a hard and fast rule regarding specific means of music participation. This article will offer a brief description of particular musical traits from the different regions of the country, and it will then feature the score and teaching suggestions for a popular folk song and dance “Trâgnala Rumjana” that can be implemented in elementary and secondary general music classes.
