Abstract:
The paper presents the main results of an ongoing project aimed at
the development of technologies for digitization of Bulgarian folk music and
building a heterogeneous digital library with Bulgarian folk songs presented
with their music, notes and text. An initial digitization and preservation of the
Bulgarian cultural heritage starts by means of digitization and insertion into the
library of over 1000 songs that were recorded and written down during the 60s
and 70s of XX century. Also we present a full text search engine in a collection
of lyrics (text of songs) and coded notes (symbolic melody). Some perspectives
for future projects are also discussed.
