Тодор Джиджев: „Народни песни от Тракия"
Todor Djidjev: Folk Songs of Thrace

Summary/Abstract: Folk Songs of Thrace by Todor Djidjev is an impressive publication of the so-called grand collections. It provides deciphering of 1,066 songs with indexes and a CD. They were collected by the folklorist and researcher in the period 1964 - 1980, which was the time of his most active fieldwork. On the one hand, the work on the collection follows a long and fruitful tradition in publishing of large song collections from separate cultural and music regions. On the other hand, there are innovations in the final product. I would recapitulate some of these novelties. This is the first work on such a collection made by a Bulgarian interdisciplinary team. Thus among the important results, there is a program, which allows for working with the song collection like a database and searching by keywords. For the first time a CD with the fieldwork recordings is attached to the deciphering of such collection. Another novelty is the created appendix with all the lyrics. The main initiator and coordinator of this complex project is Prof. Lozanka Peycheva, DSc. She is compiler and editor together with Asst. Prof. Grigor Grigorov and Assoc. Prof. Nikolay Kirov.
