Ennio STIPČEVIĆ
Sažetak
Author of this article delivers a brief and informative history of musical engagement of the Dominicans in Croatia from the sixteenth until the twentieth century. Dominican influence on the higher education, especially regarding the musical education, can be traced from the Late Middle Ages onwards. Augustin Kažotić, the bishop of Zagreb (1260/65–1323) was distinguished promoter of the schooling reformation, and thus formed professional care regarding the musical education, which positively affected musical life in the former
Zagreb. Moreover, some Dominicans and their activities significantly marked the period: Italian ecclesiastical writer and polyhistor Serafino Razzi (1531–1611) promoted spiritual laude in Dubrovnik, Vinko Komnen (1590–1667) was the author of the last Croatian baroque madrigals, and the learned panslavist Juraj Križanić (1618–1683) wrote a theoretical treaty about music (Asserta musicalia, Rome 1656), together with some other – mainly
unfinished – similar studies. By the same token, Dominicans supported organ building in their churches, and often they chose local artisans. Furthermore, one of the pioneers of the modern Croatian musical historiography was another Dominican Antonin Zaninović.
