Bulgars
The Bulgars (also Bolgars, Bulghars, or Proto-Bulgarians) were a people who lived in Eastern Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Their ethnicity is uncertain but most scholars posit that they were a Turkic people with some Iranian elements that migrated to Europe from Central Asia in 4th century. In the 7th century they established two states on the Pontic-Caspian steppe: Great Bulgaria, which spanned between the Caspian Sea and Black Sea, and Volga Bulgaria on the territory that is now part of the Russian Republics of Tatarstan and Chuvashia. Likewise, they imposed themselves in the Balkans as the elite ruling class of the Danube Bulgar Khanate. In each of these regions they were gradually assimilated over a period of centuries by the local ethnic groups, giving rise to several modern peoples claiming descent from them: Volga Tatars (see Bulgarism) and Chuvash, Balkars and Bulgarians.

Carolingian dynasty
The Carolingian dynasty (known variously as the Carlovingians, Carolings, or Karlings) was a Frankish noble family with its origins in the Arnulfing and Pippinid clans of the 7th century AD. The name "Carolingian", Medieval Latin karolingi, an altered form of an unattested Old High German *karling, kerling (meaning "descendant of Charles", cf. MHG kerlinc), derives from the Latinised name of Charles Martel: Carolus. The family consolidated its power in the late 7th century, eventually making the offices of mayor of the palace and dux et princeps Francorum hereditary and becoming the de facto rulers of the Franks as the real powers behind the throne. By 751, the Merovingian dynasty which until then had ruled the Franks by right was deprived of this right with the consent of the Papacy and the aristocracy and a Carolingian, Pepin the Short, was crowned King of the Franks.

Charlemagne
Charlemagne (; , meaning Charles the Great; possibly 74228 January 814) was King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans (Imperator Romanorum) from 800 to his death. He expanded the Frankish kingdom into an empire that incorporated much of Western and Central Europe. During his reign, he conquered Italy and was crowned by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800. This temporarily made him a rival of the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople. His rule is also associated with the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, religion, and culture through the medium of the Catholic Church. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne helped define both Western Europe and the Middle Ages. He is numbered as Charles I in the regnal lists of France, Germany (where he is known as Karl der Große), and the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne wished to expand his kingdom by "the sword and the cross". He wished to see his kingdom grow, but he also wanted Christianity to be taught in all the kingdoms he conquered as well. Charlemagne was a Catholic and a strong believer in his faith.

Eurasian Avars
The European Avars, or Ancient Avars, were a highly organized nomadic confederacy of mixed origins. They were ruled by a khagan, who was surrounded by a tight-knit retinue of nomad warriors, an organization characteristic of Turkic groups. Although the name Avar first appeared in the mid fifth century, the Avars of Europe enter the historical scene in the mid sixth century A.D., when they established a pax spanning considerable areas of Central and Eastern Europe. Avar rule persisted over much of the Pannonian Plain up to the early 9th century. Their ultimate fate is believed to have been assimilation by the invading Magyars (Hungarians).

Francia
Francia or Frankia, later also called the Frankish Empire (), Frankish Kingdom (Latin: regnum Francorum, "Kingdom of the Franks"), Frankish Realm or occasionally Frankland (, Frangistan, "Land of the Franks"), was the territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks from the 3rd to the 10th century. Under the nearly continuous campaigns of Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, and Charlemagne—father, son, grandson—the greatest expansion of the Frankish empire was secured by the early 9th century.

Franks
The Franks ( or gens Francorum) were a West Germanic tribal confederation first attested in the third century as living north and east of the Lower Rhine River. From the third to fifth centuries some Franks raided Roman territory while other Franks joined the Roman troops in Gaul. Only the Salian Franks formed a kingdom on Roman-held soil that was acknowledged by the Romans after 357. In the climate of the collapse of imperial authority in the West, the Frankish tribes were united under the Merovingians and conquered all of Gaul except Septimania in the 6th century. The Salian political elite would be one of the most active forces in spreading Christianity over western Europe.

Giovanni Boccaccio
Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 – 21 December 1375) () was an Italian author and poet, a friend, student, and correspondent of Petrarch, an important Renaissance humanist and the author of a number of notable works including the Decameron, On Famous Women, and his poetry in the Italian vernacular. Boccaccio is particularly notable for his dialogue, of which it has been said that it surpasses in verisimilitude that of virtually all of his contemporaries, since they were medieval writers and often followed formulaic models for character and plot.

Giovanni Villani
Giovanni Villani (c. 1276 or 1280–1348, ) was an Italian banker, official, diplomat and chronicler from Florence who wrote the Nuova Cronica (New Chronicles) on the history of Florence. He was a leading statesman of Florence but later gained an unsavory reputation and served time in prison as a result of the bankruptcy of a trading and banking company he worked for. His interest in and elaboration of economic details, statistical information, and political and psychological insight mark him as a more modern chronicler of late medieval Europe. His Cronica is viewed as the first introduction of statistics as a positive element in history.

Valuk (duke)
Knez (Duke) Valuk was a duke of the Slovenian duchy of Carantania. In 626 after the failure of the Avars to capture Constantinople they turned towards the west and attacked the Slovenian lands. The Slovenians then united under their leader Knez (Duke) Valuk, and joined forces with King Samo (the leader of a Slavic confederation of Czechs, Slovaks, and Sorbs) to defend themselves against the Avars. Knez (Duke) Valuk was possibly the first Duke of Carantania. Carantania was the first Slavic state known to have been created. The capital was located at Krn Castle, near Klagenfurt in present day Austria. It is unknown if Valuk's bloodline was continued in that of the later Dukes of Carantania.

Eslovenia 1/5
La República de Eslovenia es un país de Europa Central y desde 2004 un estado miembro de la Unión Europea. Limita con Italia al oeste, con el mar Adriático al suroeste, con Croacia al sur y al este, con Hungría al noreste y con Austria al norte. Tiene una población de 2.009.000 habitantes. Cerca de 400.000 eslovenos viven fuera del país, principalmente en Italia, Austria y Estados Unidos. La actual Eslovenia se formó el 25 de junio de 1991 al independizarse de Yugoslavia, tras un conflicto armado relativamente corto denominado Guerra de los diez días que la opuso al ejército de la antigua federación yugoslava encabezada por Serbia. Ya era por aquel entonces el país más desarrollado de aquella federación. En 2004 se adhirió a la Unión Europea. Eslovenia en 2007 forma parte de la Eurozona, del área Schengen, el Consejo de Europa y desde julio de 2010 forma parte de la OCDE. En el año 745, Carantania, que hasta aquel entonces era una nación pagana, fue seriamente amenazada militarmente por los ávaros de la vecina Panonia. Por eso el duque Borut solicitó ayuda militar a los amistosos bávaros, que ya estaban cristianizados.

Resian folk song 1
-rezijanska svatbena pesem- very very ancient and very hard to get; Resian wedding song, from resia valley old original recording. on the extreme western border of the slavic world high in the julian alps, in opposite to other places of the alps where slovenes live, resia valley has been cut from the outter world for centuries thats why it maintains its orthodox authentic slavic character. if the Resians are Slovenians is left to the debate we certinly got same ancestors, but today our cultures are very diffrent. Officialy they are recognized as slovenian minority in italy but few of them fell Slovenian, they rather advocate Resia being a separate slavic micronation on its own. more about Resia valley: 147.162.119.1 www.resianet.org sl.wikipedia.org

Slovenia
Slovenia was part of the Roman Empire; partly the Republic of Venice; the principality of Carantania (only modern Slovenia's northern part); the Holy Roman Empire; the Habsburg Monarchy; the Austrian Empire (later known as Austria-Hungary); the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (renamed to Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929); partly Kingdom of Italy; between the two World Wars it was occupied and or annexed by Germany, Italy, Hungary, and the Independent State of Croatia (19411945); and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1945 until recent independence in 1991. Slovenia is a member of the European Union, the Eurozone, the Schengen area, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Council of Europe, NATO, UNESCO, WTO, and UN (As of 2010, Slovenia together with Slovakia are the only former Communist nations to be part of all of these institutions simultaneously).

Carantania, also known as Carentania (, , in old Slovene onomastics ''Korotan'') was a Slavic principality that emerged in the second half of the 7th century, in the territory of present-day southern Austria and north-eastern Slovenia. Having lasted more than 300 years, it is considered one of the first Slavic states. It was the predecessor of the medieval Duchy of Carinthia.

The Ducal Coronation
Origin of the name
The name ''Carantania'' is of pre-Slavic origin. It has two possible etymologies. It may be formed from a toponymic base ''carant-'' which ultimately derives from pre-Indo-European root *''karra'' meaning 'rock', or it may be of Celtic origin and derived from *''karantos'' meaning 'friend, ally'.
Its Slavic name '''' was adopted from the Latin *''carantanum''. The toponym ''Carinthia'' (Slovene: < Proto-Slavic '''') is also claimed to be etymologically related, deriving from pre-Slavic *''carantia''.
Territory
Carantania's capital was most likely Karnburg (Slovene: Krnski grad) in the Zollfeld Field (), north of modern-day town of Klagenfurt (). The principality was centered in the area of modern Carinthia, and included territories of modern Styria, most of today's East Tyrol and of the Puster Valley, the Lungau and Ennspongau regions of Salzburg, and parts of southern Upper Austria and Lower Austria. It most probably also included the territory of the modern Slovenian province of Carinthia. The few existing historical sources distinguish between two separate Slavic principalities in the Eastern Alpine area: Carantania and Carniola. The latter, which appears in historical records dating from the late 8th century, was situated in the central part of modern Slovenia. It was (at least by name) the predecessor of the later Duchy of Carniola.The borders of the later Carantania state, which was under the feudal overlordship of the Carolingians, and its successor, the March of Carinthia, 826-976), as well as of the later Duchy of Carinthia (from 976), extended beyond historical Carantania.
History
In 568, the Langobards receded into Northern Italy. Subsequently, in the last decades of the 6th century, Slavs settled in the depopulated territory with the help of their Avar overlords. In 588 they reached the area of the Upper Sava River and in 591 they arrived in the Upper Drava region, where they soon fought with the Bavarians under Duke Tassilo I. In 592 the Bavarians won, but three years later, in 595 the Slavic-Avar army gained victory and thus consolidated the boundary between the Frankish and the Avar territories. By that time, today's East Tyrol and Carinthia came to be referred to in historical sources as ''Provincia Sclaborum'' (the Country of Slavs).
Slavic settlement in the Eastern Alps region is proven by the collapse of local dioceses in the late 6th century, a change in population and material culture, and most importantly, in the establishment of a Slavic language group in the area. The territory settled by Slavs, however, was also inhabited by the remains of the indigenous Romanized population, which preserved Christianity.
Slavs in both the Eastern Alps and the Pannonian region were originally subject to Avar rulers (''kagans''). After Avar rule weakened around 610, a relatively independent March of the Slavs (''marca Vinedorum''), governed by a duke, emerged in southern Carinthia in the early 7th century. Historical sources mention Valuk as the duke of Slavs (''Wallux dux Winedorum'').
In 623 Slavs of the Eastern Alps probably joined Samo's Tribal Union, a Slavic tribal alliance governed by the Frankish merchant Samo. The year 626 brought an end to Avar dominance over Slavs, as Avars were defeated at Constantinople. In 658 Samo died and his Tribal Union disintegrated. A smaller part of the original March of the Slavs, centred north of modern Klagenfurt, preserved independence and came to be known as ''Carantania''. The name ''Carantania'' itself begins to appear in historical sources soon after 660. The first clear indication of a specific ethnic identity and political organisation may be recognised in the geographical term ''Carantanum'' which Paul the Deacon used in reference to the year 664, and in connection to which he also mentioned a specific Slavic people (''gens Sclavorum'') living there.
In 745, Carantania lost its independence and became part of the semifeudal Frankish Empire (which was ruled by the emperor Charlemagne from 771 to 814), due to the pressing danger posed by Avar tribes from the east.
In 828, Carantania became a margraviate of the Frankish empire. The local princes were deposed for following the anti-Frankish rebellion of Ljudevit Posavski and replaced by a Germanic (primarily Bavarian) ascendancy. In 843 it passed into the hands of Louis the German (804-876). In 887 Arnulf of Carinthia (850-899), a bastard grandson of Louis the German, assumed his title of King of the East Franks and became the first Duke of Carinthia.
The Ducal Inauguration
The principality of Carantania is particularly notable for the ancient ritual of installing Carantanian dukes (or princes, both an approximate translation of Fürst), a practice that continued after Carantania was incorporated into the later Duchy of Carinthia. It was last performed in 1414, when the Habsburg Ernest the Iron was enthroned as Duke of Carinthia. The ritual took place on the Prince's Stone (Slovenian ''Knežji kamen'', German ''Fürstenstein''), an ancient Roman column capital near ''Krnski grad'' (now Karnburg) and was performed in the Slovene language by a free peasant who, selected by his peers, in the name of the people of the land questioned the new Prince about his integrity and reminded him of his duties. Later, when the Duchy of Carinthia had fallen to the Habsburgs, the idea that it was actually the people from whom the Duke of Carinthia received his legitimation was the basis of the Habsburgs' claim to the unique title of Archduke.The coronation of Carinthian Dukes consisted of three parts: first, a ritual in the Slovene language was performed at the Prince's Stone; then a mass was held at the cathedral of Maria Saal (); and subsequently, a ceremony took place at the ''Duke's Chair'' (, German: ), where the new Duke swore an oath in German and where he also received the homage of the estates. The Duke's Chair is located at ''Zollfeld'' valley, north of Klagenfurt in modern Carinthia, Austria.
The ceremony was first described by the chronicler John of Viktring on the occasion of the coronation of Meinhard II of Tyrol in 1286. It is also mentioned in Jean Bodin's book ''Six livres de la République'' in 1576.
Mentionings in late medieval literature
Chronicle of Fredegar mentions Carantania as ''Sclauvinia'', Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) mentions Carantania as ''Chiarentana''. The same name was also used by Florentines, such as the poet Fazio degli Uberti (circa 1309–1367), the famous chronicler Giovanni Villani (c. 1275–1348), and Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375), who wrote that the Brenta River rises from the mountains of Carantania, a land in the Alps dividing Italy from Germany.
Ethnic and social structure
:''See main article: Carantanians'' The population of ancient Carantania had a polyethnic structure. The core stratum was represented by two groups of Slavs who had settled in the Eastern Alps region in late 6th century. Other ethnic elements included Croats, Dulebes and the descendants of the Romanised aboriginal peoples (Noricans), the latter which is attestable on the basis of a number of place names. It is also possible that traces of Avars, Bulgars and the Germanic peoples were present among Carantanians.The people of Carantania are considered to have been among the precursors and ancestors of modern Slovenes.
Language
In its early stages, the language of Carantanian Slavs was essentially Proto-Slavic. In Slovenian linguistic literature and reference books it is sometimes provisionally termed ''Alpine Slavic'' (''alpska slovanščina''). Its Proto-Slavic character can be deduced from language contacts of Alpine Slavs with the remainders of the Romanised aboriginal population, later also with Bavarians. The adopted Pre-Slavic placenames and rivernames and their subsequent phonetic development in Alpine Slavic, as well as Bavarian records of Alpine Slavic names, shed light on the characteristics of the Alpine Slavic language.
From the 8th century onwards, Alpine Slavic underwent a series of gradual changes and innovations which were characteristic of South Slavic languages. By roughly the 13th century, these developments gave rise to the Slovene language.

Music
Andy first discovered trance music in 1997 when he bought the album, Dream Dance. Since then, his interest in trance music has grown, expanded and matured. Near the end of 2001, he started producing his own music, following his brother who did the same the year before. Until recently, Andy was producing with a variety of tools and experimenting with different styles, such as ambient/chill out, film music, melodic, progressive and uplifting trance.In 2007, Perceptive Recordings had launched, and Andy's first track ''Nyctalopia'' was the first release on the label, with an extra Club Mix, and remixes by Onova and Will B. The release was a fantastic success. He decided to stay with Perceptive Recordings to release his music because they had a fair and amicable partnership. The popularity of Perceptive quickly grew with further singles including releases by Daniel Kandi and Adam Nickey.
Komatovic's uplifting trance music style includes the application of classical compositions, a genre many have called "Orchestral Uplifting" or "Uplifting Trance with Symphonic Orchestra". His first track, ''Nyctalopia'', included a dramatic string ensemble in the breakdown, while still applying the same laws of Trance. His tracks ''Neverland'' and ''The World To Come'' both included an emotional breakdown with the use of eastern drums, and ''Everlasting'' included a piano solo.
His first E.P., ''Sea Tides'', was released on February 23, 2009, and received hype by DJ's such as Ferry Corsten and Armin van Buuren. It included three original tracks: ''Sea Tides'', ''Neverland'' and ''Everlasting''. The E.P. also included a re-work of each of the tracks. These re-works still included all the same instruments, but both breakdown and main chorus melodies were changed.
Since the ''Sea Tides E.P.'', Komatovic has produced numerous remixes for various labels, including Armada and Anjunabeats, receiving hype from many DJ's including Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, and others. His work has influenced the production of more orchestral trance, and more upcoming and established producers are producing their tracks with extended emotional orchestral breakdowns, including SoundLift, Arctic Moon, Nery, Aly & Fila, Ciro Visone, and Sara Pollino within the uplifting scene and Ralph Fritsch and Roger Shah in other trance genres. During 2010, Blueman continued to produce remixes, for Blue Soho, Subculture, Abora, AVA, and Enhanced Recordings. His fourth single ''Florescence'' was released in July 2010 as another purely solo release on Perceptive Recordings.
Many of his tracks have been widely voted as amongst the best in trance music. Eleven of his tracks were each voted as one of the 1,000 greatest trance tracks of all time out of over 10,000 nominees in the Trance Top 1000 poll organized by Armada Music (the largest trance label in the world). These were ''Afternova - Serenity (Andy Blueman Remix)'', ''Time To Rest (Daniel Kandi Banging Remix)'', ''Sea Tides (Original Mix)'', ''Neverland (Energetic Mix)'', ''Everlasting (Original Mix)'', ''Nyctalopia (Original Mix)'', ''Nery - Redawn (Andy Blueman Remix)'', ''The World To Come (Andy Blueman Mix)'', ''Airbase - Roots (Andy Blueman Remix)'', ''Adam Nickey - In Motion (Andy Blueman Remix)'', ''Robert Nickson - Circles (Andy Blueman Remix)''. By the time of the competition, only 13 trance songs Komatovic had worked on had been released; this rate of 85% is amongst the highest of any producer in the history of trance music and is a testament to Komatovic's consistently high quality.
His songs have also been voted highly by listeners of A State of Trance, which has about 15 million listeners a week: Five songs -- ''Time to Rest (Live Guitar by Eller van Buuren Mix)'', ''Nyctalopia (Onova remix)'', ''Time To Rest (Original Mix)'', ''Armin van Buuren pres. Gaia – Tuvan (Andy Blueman remix)'', and ''Nery – Redawn (Andy Blueman remix)'' -- were voted the corresponding week's Future Favorite. As for Trance Around the World and its 30 million listeners, two of Andrej's other tracks -- ''Ferry Tayle & Static Blue - L'Acrobat (Andy Blueman Remix)'' and ''Adam Nickey - In Motion (Andy Blueman Remix)''-- won the TATW web vote contest. And in the 2010 Trancefix poll of the best trance songs of 2010, ''Afternova - Serenity (Andy Blueman Remix)'' was rated the 11th best and his ''Florescence (Epic Mix)'' the 18th best of all trance songs for the year.
On 29 December 2010, Komatovic announced via his personal blog that he would quit the trance scene, having lost his passion for trance music. Rather, in the future he will focus on producing pieces of his favourite type of music: film scores. ''Away From The Sun'' (set for a 2011 release) and ''Cydonia'' are expected to be Andy Blueman's last two trance singles.
