Tsvetan Tsvetanov (6 November 1931 – 4 April 1982) was a Bulgarian composer and music educator. His compositional style blended Western classical music idioms with Bulgarian folk music. He authored the music theory textbook Zadachi po kharmoniya (1973; English: Exercises in harmony).[1]
Born in Sofia, Tsvetanov studied music composition in his native city at the Bulgarian State Conservatory (BSC, later re-named National Academy of Music) with Parashkev Hadjiev and Pancho Vladigerov.[1] He also trained as a violinist at the BSC under Vladimir Avramov. After graduating from that institution in 1956, he worked as a music editor at the Central Military Club from 1956-1958.[2]
Tsvetanov joined the faculty of the BSC as a teacher of harmony in 1956.[2] He was appointed lecturer at the BSC in 1970 and then made a professor in 1975. From 1966-1969 he served as secretary of the Union of Bulgarian Composers. He died in Sofia in 1982.[1]
His compositional output included four symphonies, two ballets, film scores, oratorios, concerti, chamber music, art songs, choral music, and works for solo instrument.[1][2] He had success with his cantata Stalbata (1966, English: The Ladder) for alto soloist, male chorus, and orchestra.[3]
