Abstract

The polyphonic choral singing is presented in Bulgaria after the Liberation from Turkish slavery in 1878. For the perceptions of our first professional musicians it is a musical “advancement” and chance for us to be raised up “next to the culturally elevated nations”. Polyphony is introduced mostly in the central part of the divine service – Liturgy. The first Bulgarian professional musicians (almost all of whom have passed through sacred choirs, conducting) introduced sacred music in their creative work, understanding the necessity for establishment of a Bulgarian style of sacred music, of “national body of works for sacred singing”.
