Stephen Langton was an English Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and Archbishop of Canterbury between 1207 and his death in 1228. The dispute between King John of England and Pope Innocent III over his election was a major factor in the crisis which produced Magna Carta in 1215. Cardinal Langton is credited with having divided the Bible into the standard modern arrangement of chapters used today, his father was a landowner in Langton by Wragby, Lincolnshire. Stephen Langton may have been born in a moated farmhouse in the village, was educated in his local cathedral school. Stephen studied at the University of Paris and lectured there on theology until 1206, when Pope Innocent III, with whom he had formed a friendship in Paris, called him to Rome and made him cardinal-priest of San Crisogono, Rome, his piety and learning had won him prebends in Paris and York and he was recognised as the foremost English churchman. His brother Simon Langton was elected Archbishop of York in 1215, but that election was quashed by Pope Innocent III.

Simon served his brother Stephen as Archdeacon of Canterbury in 1227. Simon and Stephen had another brother named a knight who died childless. On the death of Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1205, the election of a successor proved problematic: some of the younger canons of the cathedral chapter elected Reginald, the subprior of Christ Church, Canterbury, as bishop while another faction under pressure from King John chose John de Grey, Bishop of Norwich. Both elections were quashed on appeal to Rome, sixteen canons of the chapter, who had gone to Rome empowered to act for the whole chapter, were ordered to proceed to a new election in presence of the Pope. Langton was chosen and was consecrated by the Pope at Viterbo on 17 June 1207. There followed a hard political struggle between John of England and Pope Innocent III; the King proclaimed as a public enemy anyone. On 15 July 1207, John expelled the Canterbury chapter, now unanimous in support of Stephen. In March 1208, Pope Innocent III placed England under interdict and at the close of 1212, after repeated negotiations had failed, he passed sentence of deposition against John, committing the execution of the sentence to Philip II of France in January 1213.

In May 1213 King John yielded and thus in July and his fellow exiles returned to England. His first episcopal act was to absolve the King, who swore that unjust laws should be repealed and the liberties granted by Henry I should be observed—an oath which he immediately violated. Stephen now became a leader in the struggle against King John. At a council of churchmen at Westminster on 25 August 1213, to which certain barons were invited, he read the text of the charter of Henry I and called for its renewal. In the sequel, Stephen's energetic leadership and the Barons' military strength forced John to grant his seal to Magna Carta. Since King John now held his kingdom as a fief of the Holy See the Pope espoused his cause and excommunicated the barons. For refusing to publish the excommunication Stephen was suspended from all ecclesiastical functions by the papal commissioners and on 4 November this sentence was confirmed by the Pope, although Stephen appealed to him in person, he was released from suspension the following spring on condition that he keep out of England until peace was restored, he remained abroad till May 1218.

Meanwhile, both Pope Innocent and King John died and all parties in England rallied to the support of Henry III. Stephen Langton continued under Henry's reign to work for the political independence of England. In 1223 he again appeared as the leader and spokesman of the barons, who demanded that King Henry confirm the charter, he went to France on Henry's behalf to call on Louis VIII of France for the restoration of Normandy, he supported Henry against rebellious barons. He obtained a promise from the new pope, Honorius III, that during his lifetime no resident legate should be again sent to England, won other concessions from the same pontiff favourable to the English Church and exalting the see of Canterbury. Of great importance in the ecclesiastical history of England was a council which Stephen opened at Osney on 17 April 1222, he died at Slindon, near Chichester, Sussex, on 9 July 1228. He was buried in some open ground beside the south transept of Canterbury Cathedral. St Michael's Chapel was built over this ground, the head of his tomb projects into the east end of this chapel, under its altar, with the foot outside it.

Stephen was a prolific writer. Glosses, commentaries and treatises by him on all the books of the Old Testament, many sermons, are preserved in manuscript at Lambeth Palace, at Oxford and Cambridge, in France. According to F. J. E. Raby, "There is little reason to doubt that Stephen Langton... was the author" of the famous sequence Veni Sancte Spiritus. The only other of his works, printed, besides a few letters is a Tractatus de translatione Beati Thomae, an expansion of a sermon he preached in 1220, on occasion of the translation of the relics of Thomas Becket, he wrote a life of Richard I, other historical works and poems are attributed to him

The music of Bulgaria refers to all forms of music associated with the country of Bulgaria, including classical, popular music, other forms. Classical music and ballet are represented by composers Emanuil Manolov, Pancho Vladigerov and Georgi Atanasov and singers Ghena Dimitrova, Mariana Paunova, Boris Hristov, Raina Kabaivanska and Nicolai Ghiaurov. Notable names from the contemporary pop scene are Emil Dimitrov and Vasil Naydenov. Prominent Bulgarian artists living abroad include Sylvie Vartan, Kristian Kostov, Philipp Kirkorov, Lucy Diakovska, Mira Aroyo, Mikhael Paskalev, Nora Nova, Vasko Vassilev and Ivo Papazov; the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir has received a Grammy Award in 1990. The Philip Kutev Ensemble, the first of the Bulgarian state-sponsored folk ensembles and founded in 1951 is featured on the 1990 Grammy-winning album and has had many well-known Bulgarian folk singers, including, at present, Neli Andreeva and Sorina Bogomilova. Rhodope folk singer Valya Balkanska has recorded the folk song "Izlel ye Delyo Haydutin", included on the Golden Disk sent into space with the Voyager spacecraft in 1977.

Bulgarian music uses a wide range of instruments. Some folk instruments are variants of traditional Asian instruments such as the "Saz", or the kemençe. More modern style instruments are used in the modern dance music, an offshoot of traditional village music. Bulgarian folk bands, called bitovi, use instruments that include: The gaida, a traditional goat-skin bagpipe. There are two common types of gaida; the Thracian gaida is tuned either in D or in A. The Rhodopi gaida, called the kaba gaida, is larger, has a much deeper sound and is tuned in F; the kaval, an end-blown flute is close to the Turkish kaval, as well as the Arabic "Ney." The gadulka, a bowed stringed instrument descended from the rebec, held vertically, with melody and sympathetic strings. The bass gadulka has been replaced by the double bass; the tǔpan, a large drum worn over the shoulder by the player and hit with a beater on one side and a thin stick on the other. The tambura, a long-necked, metal-strung, fretted lute used for rhythmic accompaniment as well as melodic solos.

It is somewhat like the Greek bouzouki and similar to the Tamburica family's "alto" instrument, the brac. The tarabuka or dumbek, an hourglass-shaped finger-drum, it is similar to the Turkish and North African "darbouka" and the Greek "touberleki". Modern professional musicians soon reached new heights of innovation in using traditional Bulgarian instruments, by expanding the capacities of the gaida and kaval. Other instruments arrived in Bulgaria including the accordion and the clarinet. Bulgarian accordion music was defined by Boris Karlov and Roma musicians including Kosta Kolev and Ibro Lolov. In 1965, the Ministry of Culture founded the Koprivshtitsa National Music Festival, which has become an important event in showcasing Bulgarian music and dance, it is held once every five years, the last festival was 7–9 August 2015. Instruments used in wedding music include violin, clarinet, drum set, electric bass, electric guitar and synthesizer. Not to be confused with Chalga's "folk" subgenre Regional styles abound in Bulgaria.

Dobrudzha, the region surrounding Sofia, Macedonia, Thrace and the Danube shore all have distinctive sounds. Some folk music revolves around holidays like Christmas, New Year's Day and the Feast of St. Lazarus, as well as the Strandzha region's unusual Nestinarstvo rites, in which villagers fall into a trance and dance on hot coals as part of the joint feast of Sts Konstantin and Elena on 21 May. Music is a part of more personal celebrations such as weddings. Singing has always been a tradition for both women. Songs were sung by women at work parties such as the sedenka, betrothal ceremonies, just for fun. Women had an extensive repertoire of songs that they sang while working in the fields. Young women eligible for marriage played a important role at the dancing in the village square; the dancing — every Sunday and for three days on major holidays like Easter — began not with instrumental music, but with two groups of young women singing, one leading each end of the dance line. On, instrumentalists might arrive and the singers would no longer lead the dance.

A special form of song, the lament, was sung not only at funerals but when young men departed for military service. Bulgarian folk music is known for its asymmetrical rhythms, where meter is not split in beats, but in combinations of short and long beats, corresponding to the dancers' short and long steps. In European folk music, such asymmetrical rhythms are used in Bulgaria, elsewhere in the Balkans, less in Norway and Sweden; the most important state-supported folk ensemble of the socialist era was the Sofia-based State Ensemble for Folk Songs and Dances, founded in 1951 and led by Philip Koutev. Koutev became the most influential musician of 20th century Bulgaria, arranged rural music with harmonies more "accessible" to audiences in o

Eggstone is a Swedish Indie Pop band, formed in 1986. The three members - Per Sunding, Patrik Bartosch and Maurits Carlsson - were raised in the small coastal town of Lomma, outside Malmö. In 1991 they formed Tambourine Studios in Malmö with friends Anders Nordgren and producer Tore Johansson, their debut album Eggstone In San Diego was released in 1992, followed by Somersault two years later. In early 1997, they released Vive La Différence!, their third full-length album, on their own Vibrafon label. Spanish Slalom, a compilation album, was released on Madrid-based Siesta Records in 1998 and a second compilation appeared in 1999 under the Tricatel label, titled Ca Chauffe en Suède!. Eggstone's songs and poppy on the surface, disguise great subtlety in their conception and execution; the trio delights in strange shifts of tempo, harmonic clashes and pseudo-amateurish incidental noises, whilst retaining an easy seductiveness for untrained ears. All three members are accomplished musicians. A fourth album has been in preparation since the late 1990s, with some sessions taking place under the tutelage of Tricatel owner/in-house producer Bertrand Burgalat.

Per Sunding's work as an in-demand producer in his home country and Patrick Bartosch's taste for foreign trips have prevented the band from doing more than teasing fans. Eggstone's lack of large-scale commercial success is all the more surprising since the trio was the inspiration and, to some extent, the template for a number of internationally successful Swedish Indie Pop acts such as Cinnamon and The Cardigans. In April 2016 the band made a surprise comeback when the song "Like So" appeared on various streaming services, their first new music in 19 years.
