Summary/Abstract: This study deals with lullabies by Bulgarian composers composed at the turn of the twentieth as well until the mid-century. The specifics of this genre are interpreted in the light of the changed musical thinking and the establishing of a national composers’ school. The role of the genre is broached in the development of a school repertoire that has been ultimately shaped into a music-cultural layer in the post-Liberation era. Lullabies are defined as a tool of a kind meant to form and develop students’ abilities in the practice of Bulgaria’s music education. Information has been summarised of examples by Bulgarian and foreign authors published in 65 textbooks and collections grouped by time periods (until the end of the nineteenth century; until the 1930s and until the mid-twentieth century). Some of the most popular to this day lullabies by Bulgarian composers are presented.
