Summary/Abstract: Bulgarian folk monody from the point of view of polyphonic science is treated by three men of science: Assen Karastoyanov, Dimiter Christoff and Rositsa Todorova. Contains a chronology of the best important titles and represents the development of the conception. Here Todorova derives in abstract two components in the texture of Bulgarian folk monody: 1) monody – in one’s capacity of general sound stream with its vibrations, and 2) melody – the crystallization of line of intonation and rhythm. The author analyzes its verbal and semantic specifics as peculiarities of performer’s action. She gives a new, comprehensive definition for monody, which takes in all the historical, regional, cultural, typical, stylistic et al. characteristics of monody through a new rationalization – as a kind of performer’s practice to have an influence by means of vocal expression.
