Хорът в оперите на Любомир Пипков
Choir in Lyubomir Pipkov's Operas

Summary/Abstract: Undoubtedly the dominating function of the choir in Pipkov’s operas hides its reasons backward inthe past times, when during decades the operatic art penetrates in Bulgaria mainly by the practice of the town-choirs. With the assistance of the opera choir Lyubomir Pipkov presents different social communities and groupes; suggests archaic or heroic atmosphere; expresses a variety of moods; forms legendary or mystic images... Pipkov treats the choir as a commentator or a mastermind as well as a symbol of composer’s very favorite society -Nation. Lyubomir Pipkov confides a significant role in his three operas in the choir. His very special attitude to the opera choir is determined by his strong a cape/la choral pieces on one hand, and by his long and serious practice as a choral conductor and chorus-master -on the other. Something more, Pipkov’s chorus-master work on his first opera has been noted as a distinguished achievement in the development of the chorus stuff at the Sofia National Opera. At the same time Lyubomir Pipkov’s indisputable and remarkable contribution to the growth of the component chorus in Bulgarian operatic art is not an end-in-itself - it is achieved on the base of the latent plot in the librettos.
