1. Zupni pjevacki zbor "Sveti Mihovil" - MURTER (island Murter) Preveliku radost naviscujem vama Male singing group: Viktor Banov (1971.), Duje Belamaric - Pivalo (1963.), Stipe Juraga (1947.), Marijan Kostelic (1940.), Tomislav Markov (1961.), Darko Mudronja (1951.), Marko Mudronja - Rebac (1935.), Zarko Mudronja (1949.), Ferdinand Pleslic (1958.), Dragutin Sikic (1962.), Ive Sikic - Balara (1931.), Vedranko Sikic - Balara (1959.), Aldo Skedel (1951.), Boris Turcinov - Klepac (1952.), Eduard Turcinov (1957.) The first track on this CD, Preveliku radost naviscujem vama, was performed by the choir in May 1998 in Zaton near Sibenik at the Festival of Popular Church Choirs of the Sibenik Diocese. In the end of performance by the male singing group of St. Michael�s Parish from Murter, who sung a selection of their Lent songs, bishop Ivas, their former longtime priest, asked the choir members to perform a song which is "sung only in Murter". The performance reflected their determination to present something of their own and share that with the audience in the same convincing manner as at the concert at the Church of St. Catherine in Zagreb. 2. Pucka skupina pjevaca "Sveti Petar" - SUPETARSKA DRAGA (island Rab) Oj, Bog se rodo, Vitlijanjo Male singing group: Ante Fafanja (1935.) - lead voice, Josip Holjak (1938.), Ivan Poldan (1949.), Josip Vidas (1939.) This is a rare performance of one of the oldest Croatian Christmas songs. The text of the Christmas song Bog se rodi v Vitliomi had been documented in the so-called Paris Codex in the late 14th century (Duda 1990:16). "That octosyllabic song, probably of indigenous origin, paraphrases a text on the birth of Christ according to the Gospel of Luke" (Hercigonja 1975:177). The male singing group from Supetarska Draga sings the song Oj, Bog se rodo, Vitlijanjo in non-tempered narrow intervals with a distinctive manner of ornamentation and decoration of melodic line, which matches the traditional singing in the regions of Istria and Kvarner islands. According to the singers, this song used to be sung on the way to and from the Christmas Mass at the Church of St. Peter. 3. KUD "Cetingradska tamburica" - CETINGRAD (Slunj) Zora je zora, bijeli se dan Mixed singing group: Jozo Jukic - Jole (1956.) - lead voice, Anka Capan (1941.), Jelena Capan (1950.), Dragica Galic (1955.), Franjo Galic (1954.), Ana Jukic (1961.), Milka Jurcevic (1961.), Jure Kuterovac (1961.), Stanko Matic (1965.), Anka Medved (1959.), Joso Medved (1932.), Mirko Medved (1955.), Manda Mesic (1937.), Marija Muic (1952.), Mile Muic (1950.), Marica Paulic (1961.), Toma Paulic (1957.), Justina Plivelic (1952.), Marica Radocaj (1957.), Matija Stepic (1945.), Vlado Stepic (1955.), Draga Tominac (1947.) In some parts of central Croatia (e. g. Zagrebacko prigorje and polje, Turopolje) a variant of this song with the same introductory text and similar melody is sung at wedding by the end of ceremony. In Cetingrad it is considered the most popular Christmas song, which is included in the paraliturgical repertoire of the Christmas period. 4. Etno grupa "Zvirek" - SV. KRIZ ZACRETJE (Zabok) O sveta Tri kralja, o blazen vas dan Female singing group: Marija Grozaj (1942.) - lead voice, Stefanija Goricki (1938.), Zorica Hrastinski (1930.), Nada Jecmenica (1935.), Marija Martinec (1948.), Branka Piljek (1951.), Julija Sinkovic (1935.) The song O sveta Tri kralja, o blazen vas dan is also known as a Christmas carol which was sung on the eve of Epiphany in the region of Hrvatsko Zagorje by zvezdari, who went from village to village donned as the Magi with a "star" made of a riddle hoop and paper decoration. The first known documented text of the song dates back to the late 18th century when it was written in the manuscript songbook of Juraj Lehpamer under the title Pro festo Ss. trium regum (Sojat 1970:36). The melody O sveta Tri kralja is known in almost the entire region of northwestern Croatia in a number of local varieties. One of the melody varieties of the same song was documented by Jerko Bezic in 1971 in Pustodol near Stubicke Toplice and through the analysis of metric and rhythmic structures pointed to the shared elements of that melody with the East Alpine songs performed to the dance (Bezic 1993). 5. KUD "Sokica" - SLOBODNICA (Slavonski Brod) O slavna Betlemska ti si stalica Female singing group: Marija Draganic (1936.) - lead voice, Marija Antunovic (1957.), Filika Badanjak (1936.), Vlatka Duspara (1963.), Ruzica Djakovic (1940.), Tereza Kovacevic (1942.), Marija Mikulic (1939.), Marija Pocinak (1943.), Marija Silobod (1950.), Kata Varcic (1933.), Marija Vasic (1937.) The Advent song O slavna Betlemska ti si stalica performed by the female singing group from Slobodnica is a typical example of church singing in the region of Slavonia. The part-singing of melody is characterized by a wide tempo and the parlando-rubato style of performance with the distinctive three-part line (with an underlying bourdon tone). 6. Zenska pucka pjevacka skupina "Snase" - KLAKAR (Slavonski Brod) Oj, Isuse poljubljeni, slatki sine moj Female singer: Eva Stanic (1935.) The singing of Christmas lullabies, such as O Isuse poljubljeni performed by Eva Stanic from Klakar, is a tradition that "came into existence in the family atmosphere of celebrating the ritual waiting for Christmas Mass, invocation of God�s blessing, of exchanging presents and gathering at the family table, just like songs that encourage company, giving of presents and good wishes. The wealth of their contents is a genuine inspiration for family life and philanthropy" (Spralja 1993). Plus 29 other tracks |
