Abstract
Slovenian musical works after 1918
Slovenian musical identity is based on a number of factors. Mainly two of them have been studied in some detail by now: musicians and musical institutions. Musical works, however, have not received systematic treatment to date, even though they represent from 19 century onward a central historiographic category as well as one of the basic cultural values (not only in the Slovenian culture).
Therefore we propose a systematic evaluation of the Slovenian music works as on of the pillars of the Slovenian musical identity in the contemporary musical practice. Cofinement on the period after World War I is rather misfortuitous, but given the large number of musical creations in the 20th century seems imminent. This does not mean that the older musical works from the cultural history of Slovenia are excluded from the study: institutional history of the Slovenian musical culture riches back at least to 1848. It shall be also included in the proposed project. In fact, the entire history of musical works belonging to the spiritual legacy of the Slovenian musical practice shall find its place in the project as a part of reception of the Slovenian music, which aims to be one of the key contributions of the proposed project.
The projects should provide a systematic treatment of the Slovenian musical works known and preserved on any medium, including the three central: musical scores, audio / video media, and archival sources.
In short: each musical work, important for the Slovenian contemporary musical practice, shall be processed and incorporated into an electronic database of Slovenian musical works in accordance with requirements of RILM. The project aims to systematically enhance the reception history of Slovenian musical works with critical analyses of each work in its phenomenological entirety. This also allows for broad international connectivity with related projects on concert life in the major musical cultures that are currently underway in Europe.
Significance for science
Slovenian musical identity is based on a number of factors. Mainly two of them have been studied in some detail by now: individual musicians and, to certain extent, musical institutions. Musical works, however, have not received systematic treatment to date, even though they represent from 19 century onward a central historiographic category as well as one of the basic cultural values (not only in the Slovenian culture). The project systematically addressed the Slovenian music works as on of the pillars of the Slovenian musical identity in the contemporary musical practice. Confinement on the period after World War I is not a fortunate one, but given the large number of musical creations in the 20th century it was imminent. This does not mean that the older musical works from the cultural history of Slovenia are excluded from the study: institutional history of the Slovenian musical culture riches back at least to 1848 and was taken into consideration within the given possibilities. In fact, the entire history of musical works belonging to the cultural and spiritual legacy of the Slovenian musical practice has its place in the project as a part of reception of the Slovenian music. The projects provided a systematic treatment of the Slovenian musical works as phenomena of historical as well as reception interest, preserved on any medium, including the three central: musical scores, audio/video media, and archival sources. In short: each musical work, important for the Slovenian contemporary musical practice, was considered and will be incorporated into an electronic database of Slovenian musical works. The project aimed to systematically enhance the reception history of Slovenian musical works with first factual and afterwards also critical analyses of each work in its phenomenological entirety. This allows for broad international connectivity with related projects on repertoires in the major musical cultures in different parts of Europe.
Significance for the country
The project offers some results derived from the defined working plan addressing systematically the collecting and dealing with information on Slovenian musical works after 1918, which is evident not only from the recorded bibliography in the system Cobiss for each of the scholars involved in this project, but also from the specially site for this project on: http://slovenskaglasbenadela.ff.uni-lj.si. Researchers have prepared a series of analyzes of the oeuvres of Slovenian musical works, as available from the Cobiss entries for each member of the research group: so far the history and perception of the all Slovenian operas from the period between the two world wars has been published, in preparation for the publication is also the historical and reception analysis of the entire symphonic music for the period between the two world wars, and the same goes for the folk music between the two world wars. In preparation for distribution of the phenomena of musical works is also prepared for the second half of the twentieth century (currently available in the form of monographs on individual composers), in addition, of course, other results of the analysis Slovenian musical works, which are described in the Project's website Slovenian musical identity is based on a number of factors. Mainly two of them have been studied in some detail by now: individual musicians and, to certain extent, musical institutions. Musical works, however, have not received systematic treatment to date, even though they represent from 19 century onward a central historiographic category as well as one of the basic cultural values (not only in the Slovenian culture). The main contribution of this project on the national level is its focus on the main pointers of the national identity - musical works - that may be considered for further, broader-context comparison within European and also wider contexts.
