Summary/Abstract: The author searches of Dimitar Nenov in the field of the church musical art are works written in 1918–1919, and “Prayer” for a large mixed choir (1936). Could only make assumption what kind of evolution would have develope the church musical art if Dimitar Nenov has continued to create in this field. The composer speaks of “ignorance of the level and the price in the perfomance of a spiritual nature and this is particularly painful in the Arts”. Inadequate mental attitude during a long time is reason that to this day the Bulgarian musicology has not established a comprehensive contemporary assessment of the rich and multifaceted heritage of distinctive creative artist Dimitar Nenov. So that the XXI century is still in debt to the memory and creativity of the musician. To future researchers the composer offers a clear starting point: “I’m not difficult to understand - on the contrary, I am very clear. But the person for a while must go deep in my music. My things are liked at first, but they are understand on the tenth”.
