Discontinuum-continuum: the theory of composition by Julio Estrada. The Julio Estrada’s output is still the unexplored area, what creates the opportunity to study the phenomenon called discontinuum-continuum. During the last 36 years of the creative activity, Estrada has developed several aspects of the macro timbre that integrate several compounds of a composition. In his research, Estrada confronts two different situations in the compositional process: continuous transformation of the sound and chronographical method, using strictly defined recording process in order to receive three-dimensional movements of the sound in the topological order. As a result of existing these two situations, a musical work is impossible to be defined by one technique or musical style. Examination of the theory of composition called discontinuum-continuum allows one to understand a new methodology of musical creation that involves scientific research of the physical phenomenon of sound and introspection of the imagination of the sound.

The new Bulgarian damascenes are important moment of the development of the literary Bulgarian language. The use of vernacular in the damascenes restores the relation between literary and spoken language and incorporates the living Bulgarian language enriched with literary vocabulary and means of expression. Thus, Bulgarian literature becomes part of the pan-European trend for democratization of written languages. The goal of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis of the 6th commandment from the enlightening speech on the Ten commandments from the Tihonravov damascene with part of the introduction from Slavonic Bulgarian History from Paisius of Hilendar. The analysis aims to track the diverse developments of the literary Bulgarian language. The study is based on comparing morphological and lexical particularities. The results indicate that the language of the Tihonravov damascene comes very close to the vernacular of the period and the present day vernacular, which confirms the hypothesis that the words used in the new Bulgarian damascenes are also the foundation for the new Bulgarian literary language.
