  • In Loving Memory of Milan Yaklich Dennis & Janice Strootman UWM Foundation Non-Profit Slovenian Arts Program Organization 1440 East North Avenue U.S
    FALL ISSUE: NOVEMBER 2019 EDITOR: HELEN E. FROHNA NEWSLETTER OF THE UWM SLOVENIAN ARTS COUNCIL SLOVENIAN ARTS PROGRAM How would you describe Slovenian music? President: Christina Carroll Would it be Frankie Yankovic playing his accordion and singing about you and me under the silk umbrella (Židana Marela Polka)? Or would it be the Original Oberkrainer (Ansambel Avsenik) performing Trompetenecho? This is the type of music that most Slovenian-Americans recognize and relate to. When people left their homes and families behind in Slovenia/Austrian Empire to come to America to reinvent their lives in the mines and factories in Michigan’s UP, the Iron Range in Minnesota, and the cities of Cleveland, Chicago, and Milwaukee, they wanted to remember a little bit of “home”. Various singing choirs and musicians organized to replicate the melodies and sounds that they knew when they were growing up. Folk melodies were what they remembered. Over the past 30 years, the UWM Slovenian Arts Council presented various music programs that featured Slovenian performers and/or Slovenian compositions. Not all performers were from Slovenia, not all music sounded like familiar Slovenian folk tunes. Our goal was to showcase various types of music for the enjoyment and enrichment of the Slovenian-American commu- nity and the public at large. Singers and musicians from Slovenia consisted of the Deseti Brat Oktet, Navihanke, Vlado Kreslin, Perpetuum Jazzile, Slovenski Oktet, and the Lojze Slak Ansambel, performing folk, classical, and contemporary compositions. But other programs also featured the Singing Slovenes from Minnesota; from Cleveland, the Jeff Pecon Band, Fantje Na Vasi, and the Fantje’s next generation singers, Mi Smo Mi.

  • 1 SLOVENE FOLK DANCE Since I Am Very Passionate About Dance and Have Been Dancing for a Long Time, I Thought It Would Be Nice To
    SLOVENE FOLK DANCE Since I am very passionate about dance and have been dancing for a long time, I thought it would be nice to write a text on a specific topic about Slovenian culture – our folk dance. It refers to those dance traditions which were maintained by rural inhabitants of the Slovenian ethnic territory up to the years before World War II. Similar to the dances of other nations, Slovenian folk dances are either authentic or adopted from other cultures. The term »authentic« refers to dances that came into existence within the Slovenian geographic area and have roots in Slovenian culture, whereas »adopted« dances were taken from other national and cultural environments and then adapted to Slovenian dance movements. We cannot determine neither the exact age of adopted nor the exact age of authentic Slovenian dances, but it is believed that early Slovenian dance forms are of Indo-European origin (just like many other dances from different European nations). Each new nation took the common heritage and developed it in its own way, creating unique dance forms. Old Slovenian dances were rather simple, made up of rhythmic walking, jumping and free combination steps. One of the oldest Slovenian forms of dancing is known as the povšteranc (pillow dance), in which a dancer chooses his/her partner by offering a pillow or a handkerchief. A lot of folk Slovenian dances included the »courtship« motif and were made for couples. As far as authentic couple dances are concerned, there are three in Slovenian ethnic territory: the visoki rej (high dance) from Gailtal/Zilja, found in reports from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the kranjski ples (Carniolan dance) described by Anton Tomaž Linhart in 1791, and the rezijanski ples (the Resia/Rezija dance).
