Abstract
This article was intended to reconstruct the peculiarities of the Mostar’s
musical culture in the first half of the 20th century, its species, starting
points and meaning in the continuity, emphasizing the institutional organized
musical practice and its connection with larger social context.
The approach that was imposed by purpose of research includes the presentation
of the musical reality whithin the cultural and political history
of the determinated period, whose result in the larger part it was. In the
field of the autonomous, music until the middle of 20.th century almost
it has not existed, because it has been connecting functionally with the
kindes of the conscience and living ways of the enviroment whose reality
was determinated by regime changes, political party conflicts, economical,
political and cultural differences leaving the significant tracks in its
historical continuity. Because of that, the approach to music as the part
of the entire socio-political and cultural life seemed to be the only correct
one. The proposed material can be observed as the mosaic whole made
of the parts presenting the localities and forms of the music practice, the
activites of prominent choral societies, amateur and professional musical
societies, the education and organized manifestations by which music has
lived in Mostar.
