Предмети на културата (музикални инструменти) и музиката в Библията. Към въпроса за музикалността на поетическото слово, за химнографията и лириката на Николай Лилиев
Cultural Artefacts (Musical Instruments) and Music in the Bible: On the Question of the Music of Poetry, Hymnography and the Lyric Poetry of Nikolay Liliev

Summary/Abstract: The present paper is dedicated to the symbols of musical culture in semiotic and cultural discourse, as reflected by the category “cultural artefacts” (musical instruments) in the Bible. At the same time, it is as an attempt to demonstrate the literary critical and musicological potential of the problem. The category “musical instruments” in biblical texts has been discussed in a historical perspective. Another issue analysed in the paper are the rhythmic and metric structures of Byzantine and Bulgarian hymnography. Both these questions are viewed from the perspective of musical and poetical homology in Bulgarian symbolist poetry, specifically in the lyric poetry of Nikolay Liliev, and of the connections of Orthodox hymnography with broadly understood musicality of poetry.
