Songbook Manuscript from Legrad

Đuro Franković ; Pecs, Hungary

Abstract

A songbook manuscript containing kajkavian songs, entitled »Sunday and Holiday Songs«, was collected by the cantor Ivan Horvat in 1790. These songs were sung in Croatian villages in Međimurje, Prekmurje and Podravina. This valuable manuscript is one in a series of manuscripts made from the 17th century until today. Cantor Horvat used the manuscript in everyday practical usage as it enabled him to rely upon a solid and stable flow of singing spiritual songs in liturgy.
