Abstract
Josip Andreis documents data on Glagolitic singing in Croatia in Povijest glazbe [History of Music] (1974, Engl. translation 1974; 1982). Though it is a case of only four printed pages based mostly on Jerko Bezić’s book (published doctoral dissertation entitled Razvoj glagoljaško pjevanja na zadarskom području [The Development of Glagolitic Singing in the Area of Zadar, 1973]), and though Josip Andreis did not research or synthesize the works of other researchers in that field, basic issues, still current today, are considered on these pages. It is a matter of the term, language, as well as of musical and simultaneous liturgical affiliation (i.e. it is a question of the level of the cognateness of melodic material with the Gregorian chant and of the level of specific quality of the melodic material) through the centuries of historical development. Expansive literature is included.
The author endeavours to evaluate Josip Andreis’s approach to a field that was of marginal interest to him. In spite of that, she exposes a number of data on Glagolitic singing, dividing them according to the types of Andreis’s works. His histories of music are in first place, followed by the articles in which he displays the survey of the results that Croatian musicology had achieved and of the tasks for the future.
