PEDAGOGICALLY JUSTIFIED CONDITIONS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE PRESENCE OF MAJOR SONGS IN BULGARIAN POP AND ROCK MUSIC

Abstract

. The article explores the presence of major songs in Bulgarian pop and rock music in the interval from its creation in the 1960s and 1970s to the present day. The time period is divided into two periods - up to the 1990s and beyond. The subject of the study are the two types of keys in the songs - major and minor. A total of 98 songs from the two periods were studied and analyzed. Their selection was made after the survey, as well as with data from music charts of specialized Bulgarian media. The hypothesis investigated is that there is a growing tendency for a dominant presence and even dominance of the minor mode over the major in contemporary Bulgarian songs. A comparative method and analysis were used to prove or reject this assumption. They confirm the hypothesis of a growing presence of minor keys in contemporary Bulgarian pop and rock songs. The study found that this phenomenon is also valid for included songs from this period in the content of music schoolbooks for 2019/2020. , minor, pop and rock, song, music, festival, schoolbooks, rеception, education
