In memoriam Проф. д.изк. Светлана Захариева
In memoriam Prof. D.Sc. Svetlana Zaharieva

Summary/Abstract: Prof. D.Sc. Svetlana Zaharieva (1937 – 2013) On the 18th of June this year we lost Prof. D.Sc. Svetlana Zaharieva. Her scientific interests cover a wide array of topics, and in each of them her contributions are crucial. After stating her strong presence as a musical theorist with the monographs “Bulgarian Folk Diaphony” and “The Musical Form in Bulgarian Folk Song” she becomes one of the moving forces in the turning of Bulgarian folkloristics to the horizons of ethnomusicology. Her significant work “The Player in Folk Culture” publicly celebrates this change of the paradigm and to a great extent turns into its symbol. This is the book, which inspired many young scholars and showed them how ethnomusicology can simultaneously be an art and a genuine science. We lost one of the brightest people of our Institute, a person with endlessly serene and delicate humaneness and a remarkably powerful and expressive scholar presence. Rest in peace!
