Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the composer T. Popov in the light of the personal meeting with him and the author's acquaintance with him. The creative work of T Popov in song adaptations is analyzed in different aspects — types of songs, which the composer remakes, his creative style in adaptation of the song material, melodic and harmonic devices etc. Special attention has been paid to the remakes by T. Popov of Bulgarian folk songs from different regions, where the ambition to keep the regional melodic and rhythmic specifics of the song is clearly outlined. A brief summery has been made to the creative work of T Popov in the field of solo song (mainly accompanied by a piano). The text emphasizes the significance of the creative work of a composer who should not be forgotten.
