Abstract

An effort has been made with this research to gain an insight into the extent to which the music practice of Srebrenica has changed in the context of the 1992–1995 war and the genocide committed in July 1995, but also to uncover how much music has remained amongst the surviving Bosniacs of Srebrenica, how relevant it is in relation to the major human tragedy, and how much of an integral part of the culture and life of the survivors it is today. Examples of the range of religious music practice are presented in the paper, of the international humanitarian organisations’ music therapy projects, along with examples of music works of diverse genres that have emerged in the name of Srebrenica.
