Райна Кацарова и детският музикален фолклор
Raina Katsarova and Children’s Music Folklore

Summary/Abstract: The collection “Du-Ii du-Ii, gaida” (1947) contained 22 folk songs, skilfully arranged with a pedagogical insight into “from the easier to the more difficult”. It was the first time in Bulgarian literature that children’s folk songs had been collected. In the collection “The Alphabet in Songs - Cheerful and Easy” (1957) songs with texts from the alphabetical order were included. The collection “A Source of Beauty and Patriotism” (1969) contained tales, legends, riddles, sayings, calendar series of songs from customs, in which children participate, e.g. Sourvakari, Koledari, Lazarki etc. Katsarova did all this with the only aim to get these ancient customs and games used today too because they possess everlasting artistic value.
