Музиката като дискурс в историята на Мъжката гимназия в Русе
Music as Discourse in the History of the Boy High School in Rousse

Summary/Abstract: By applying the discourse analysis to the musical history of the oldest high school in Rousse, the article aims to research the specifics of music and composing as part of both the educational system and the urban sociocultural situation. Arguments for choosing the discourse approach could be found in the characteristics of the discourse itself as well as in the peculiar symbiosis between the institutions (educational, cultural and municipal), typical for the first decades after the birth of the modern industrial town and for shaping of an urban culture of a new type that is oriented primarily towards adopting the best European standards into the Bulgarian situation. The article focuses on different aspects of the problem: the adaptation of European musical culture standards in urban environment; the music as accelerator of the process of shaping the new type of urban culture; the perception of music and the new type of aesthetics influencing the new urban socio-cultural pattern.
