Sažetak
The work bearing the title Tracing the Istrian Music Treasure: An Overview of Music History in Istria Through the Centuries could be described as the first attempt to summarise the Istrian music history through the centuries. Given the non-existence of a monograph or publication which would present the development of music in the aforementioned geographic area, the basic guidelines on how to write about such a history are highlighted here, not pretending, however, to claim comprehensiveness which is hardly achievable in this moment. Besides the fact that the history of a region is narrowly connected to its geographic position and natural beauties, it is especially enriched by the creative traits of the people inhabiting it. This thought is, therefore, the starting point, although the contemporary approach to writing about music history is more about its culturological and sociological phenomena, and less about the heroic names marking it. The work presents the bibliography used to write about music history in Istria, questioning at the same time the term «Istrian composers«. It also directs its attention to characteristic music phenomena, and the fi rst to be mentioned among them is the Istrian-litt oral traditional music, which was the inspiration for the appearance of numerous music pieces in this area. The Istrian music history is composed by musicians who entered the list of the greatest figures who influenced the historical course of the music culture on the Croatian ground with their numerous activities – creative, pedagogical, performing, scientific-publicist, organisational and activist. Starting from the Middle Ages, through music typography, repercussions brought by the Renaissance and Baroque period, all the way to the infiltration of traditional music and 20th-century music, this is the place where all the more performed stakeholders of the historical Istrian music are chronologically summarised, from Andrea Antico, Francesco Spongia Usper, through Matko Brajša Rašan, Antonio Smareglia, Ivan Matetić Ronjgov, Slavko Zlatić, Luigi Dallapiccola, Nello Milotti, to contemporary Istrian composers. Introducing the composers’ portraits, along with the works which look at the musical art of the Istrian region in a wider context, thus increasing the volume of the musicological treasury of evidence, this work laid the first stone for an approach to conclusions which are the result of comparative methods that should, accompanied by biographical research, encompass the different preoccupations with the structural and stylistic characteristics of pieces in the context of historical circumstances.
