Празникът като духовно-музикално събитие при българите католици от двата обряда (с посвещение на Петър Динев по повод 135 години от рождението му)
The Festivity as a Spiritual-Musical Event Among Bulgarian Catholics of Both Rites (With a Dedication to Peter Dinev on the Occasion of the 135th Anniversary of His Birth)

Summary/Abstract: The Holy Liturgy is the expression of religious celebration within the Church. With regard to it, this article provides concise notes on the liturgical order used by Western and Eastern Catholics – specifically, the Roman rite for Western Catholics and the Byzantine rite for Eastern Catholics. It also discusses the types of celebrations in the history of the Church as to outline, though briefly, the origins of the modern peculiarities of the music that accompanies the two rituals.The Bulgarian Catholics have a distinctive culture and partly, aspects of everyday life that set them apart from their Eastern Orthodox countrymen. What is more, each Catholic community has unique ethno-cultural characteristics that have been shaped by the community’s interactions with West European Catholicism as well as it creation and development within the borders of Bulgaria.At the end of this article, on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of his birth, I have examined the theoretical and musical works of Petar Dinev, the great Bulgarian musicologist and theorist of Eastern Church music.
