Slovenian Chamber Choir | Vladimir Kranjčević, conductor
Choral music as a type is an important feature of the Croatian music achievements of the 20 th century , particularly of its first half, between the two World Wars. Choir singing in a number of amateur societies and choirs in most of the Croatian towns nourished national self – confidence at that time.This, naturally, encouraged the composers and vice versa.
The choral setting was the most suitable vechile for the first layer of a plait of traditional culture and arts, and was largely applied by the authors born at the turn between the 19 th and the 20 th century.
The selection prepared for this recording is not an anthology because an anthology selection would require a broader view of the entire Croatian choral music of the 20 th century and also a selection which would include a far greater number of works than this.
However, the works presented in this recording would make part of any anthology, which renders them a special role among the achievements of the Croatian choral music of the 20 th century.
