Peter DINEV (1889-1980), the versatile Bularian composer, musicologist and pedagogue, received his theological and musical education in Istanbul and in St. Petersburg (1911-1915). Be-tween 1919 and 1922 he taught East-Orthodox music at the Kazan Conservatoire in Russia and of his return to Bulgaria lectured at the State Academy of Music in Sofia (1925-1936). Parallel to that he was lecturer at the Academy of Theology in the same city. Peter Dinev laid the foundations of Bulgarian church music, transcribed into contemporary linear script the neumed church chants (those of John Koukouzeles including), trained scholars for research work. He was most prominent as composer of choral music. Alongside with the arrangements of folk songs (about 60), he worked actively in the sphere of East-Orthodox liturgical music. He is the author of four liturgies for different occasions, two collections of East-Orthodox church music and one liturgical concerto. In the basis of Peter Dinev's Liturgy presented in this release lies his "Big Four->Part Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom on East-Church Motives" (1926). The conductor Stoyan Kralev has transformed the contents of the performed work by adding numbers from other religious works by the same author (from "Church-Singing Collection of Chants for Night-Long Vigil and Liturgy"). To the traditional parts of the Liturgy there has been added as its first section "The Lent Concerto on East- Orthodox Motives "By the Rivers of Babylon" (1927) with which the Liturgy is directed to the Easter holidays. It is followed by the prayers - Great Litany and the three antiphons - from the traditional Chrysostom Liturgy. Thus the first accent in the liturgical cycle - the litanies of suppli-cation - is formed. The second accent is laid by the God-glorifying prayers between the Small and the Big Entrance. The Liturgy continues with the prayers of the Eucharist canon. This is the music- and-dramatic centre of the work. Here end the traditional prayers from the Chrysostom Liturgy. In the numbers that follow, Stoyan Kralev has used chants from the quoted collection by introducing the motive of Christ's resurrection. These are Rejoice, Virgin Mother of God, Praise Ye the Name of the Lord and the two Troparia of Resurrection. It is only the conclusive chant that returns to the finale of the Chrysostom Liturgy. The traditional free treatment of the liturgical cycle has given
Prof. Kralev the opportunity to compile a programme of high artistic mer¬its. Together with the diatonic of Russian music-religious traditions, it con¬tains typical features of Bulgarian church singing. Characteristic of the per¬formance of the Liturgy is the search for greater variety in the choral texture, of contrasts between the separate parts. Prof. Kralev has achieved this by jux-taposing the dense sound of the whole choir to the "transparent" sound of chamber ensembles and soloists. This is particularly true of the performance of the prayers Our Father, We Sing Thee and The Judicious Villain.
