FOREWORD

The author, composer, arranger, and editor of the electronic book “Pearls of Bulgarian Folklore” “New Songs from the Pazardzhik Region” Part Six is the folklore singer Ivanka Ivanova Pietrek, whose artistic name is Ivanka Ivanova. Her songs haven’t been published, they’re created by her after samples from authentic folk songs from the Pazardzhik region, which she has collected for years. It is known that she collected over 1000 authentic songs.

All her books until this time have contained published and already popularized songs from the Pazardzhik region that she performs herself.

What makes the author publish this new series of books?

Her love for the Bulgarian people and her long-lived dream to preserve in a book the songs she collected. Songs that can stay for the future generation and for all the lovers of Bulgarian folklore around the world.

Our people have survived because we sang …

And our songs contain the daily life, the manners, the history, the customs …

The roots of being Bulgarian are exactly in the folklore arts as a whole, and this is her goal – for them to be preserved and passed on to the future generations.

The songs heretofore recorded are in the previous e-books by Ivanka Ivanova:

2012 – “Folklore Dedication” – Self-teacher in folk singing in four languages – Bulgarian, Russian, German, and English

http://youtu.be/kQBpUAfiHCM

2013 – The tetralogy “The Songs of Ivanka Ivanova” – Parts One, Two, Three, and Four – in three languages, Bulgarian, German, and English follows – each book with 44 Pazardzhik folk songs from her repertoire, with musical notation and lyrics.

All 176 songs have been recorded in various radio stations, TV channels, compact discs. The fourth book also introduces one authored carnival song in German – “Katrin”.

The specifics of the Pazardzhik Folklore Region

It is a specific part of the Thracian folklore region and it is a mixed region from the folklore point of view. It is influenced on the Thracian, the Rhodope, the Pirin and the Sofia sing tradition. It is characterized by a large variety of beats. A two-voice part is detached from the town of Vakarel to the Topolnitsa river and there are two singers in a band in Sestrimo and Varvara villages.

The songs in two voices with dynamic second voice are separated around Velingrad town. The highest interval between the first and the second voice is fourth.

The Western part of the Thracian lowland begins from Pazardzhik town. The town is a juncture between Europe and Asia. The pause between the couplets is typical for the singing of the region. The common beats here are 2/4- Pravo horo, 11/16- Krivo horo, 7/8- ruchenitsa, 5/8- Paidushko horo, 9/8- Daichovo horo, 13/16…and mixed beats like 5/8 + 9/8- Yovino horo. The slow songs have the typical throat trembling (modulating of the sound). The songs are thematically various: harvesting, heroic, mythical, haidouk, love, songs for table, for work and working-bee.

The traditional instruments are wooden flute, bagpipe (dzhura), rebec, tambourine and drum.
