Abstract

The subject of the article is "Suite of Three Songs" by Nikolay Stoykov. The three parts of the suite cycle are created on the basis of Bulgarian folk songs, distinguished by bright, memorable intonations and non-traditional structure. The folk songs are not similar, but differ significantly one from the other in terms of character and structure of the melody. This, as well as the fact that the work was created in a relatively early period of the artistic development of the composer, i.e. in that period he is more unprejudiced, more immediately and intuitively experiencing the influence of the folklore primary source, the professional experience is already available, but it still has not taken hold over the tonal artist with its analytical-rational influence; makes the suite cycle especially appropriate to examine the path from the emotional response, which the folk song produces, to the new, author's work. In the article are analized the specifics of the melodies in the three folk chants and the musical-expressive means, used by Nikolay Stoykov in constructing the suite cycle.
