Abstract

Prior to the establishment of the Institute, rare and modest in volume
ethnomusicological research was carried out by the Department for Folk Music of the
Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb (1921-1948) while folk songs were collected by the
Archive of Folk Songs of the Croatian Authors' Association in Zagreb (1943-1945). In its
Department for Musical Folklore the Institute (1948- ) with well-organized external
associates collected a large volume of material in the first twenty years of its existence. In
the seventies the research approach widened. Research was conducted of older and newer
forms, of the manifoldness and diversity of folk music and dance, of the continuity and
changes in tradition, of processes of acculturation and transformation of musical and dance
phenomena. By accepting and applying the theory of communication in the eighties the
subject of ethnomusicological researches started to be determined according to the specific
way of life of musical and dance phenomena in the direct communication of relatively small
groups of performers and listeners.
