Из историята на Българското радио: авторската музика за деца в радиопредаванията (1931 – 1951)
From Bulgarian Radio’s History: Original Music for Children in Radio Programmes (1931 – 1951)

Summary/Abstract: Radio programmes for children were among the earliest activities from the beginning of Bulgarian public radio and within the structuring of a nationwide radio programme. Children’s radio hours on a regular basis were a natural stage for Bulgarian writers, composers, actors and other performers. New works had premieres to be then published in books, collections of poems or made into musical performances. The programmes featured concerts, poems and various music genres realized by school choirs, orchestras or soloists. The Bulgarian Radio in its capacity as a cultural institution actively produced original children’s songs. The article deals with the history of children’s music radio programmes in the said decades, bringing to the fore the contribution of certain figures in the field of culture and music. Dimitar Nenov was the first music editor of the Bulgarian Radio in the 1930s. Gjurga Pindjurova, Ivanka Miteva and Petar Raykov sang live. Composers Parashkev Hadjiev and Yossif Tzankov (in the 1930s/1940s) as well as Petar Stupel and Alexander Raychev (in the 1940s) among others, contributed to children’s radio programmes.
