  • 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.

Cahn, Ph.D. Abstract This study investigates the influences, both domestic and foreign, on the composition of Jón Nordal´s Piano Concerto of 1956. The research question in this study is, “Are there elements that are identifiable from traditional Icelandic music in Nordal´s work?” By using set theory analysis, and by viewing the work from an extramusical vantage point, the research demonstrated a strong tendency towards an Icelandic voice. In addition, an argument for a symbiotic relationship between the domestic and foreign elements is demonstrable. i ii My appreciation to Dr. Steven J. Cahn at the University of Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music for his kindness and patience in reading my thesis, and for his helpful comments and criticism.

  • Working Tambura Bands and the Construction of the In- Between in Croatia and Its Intimates
    From the Center in the Middle: Working Tambura Bands and the Construction of the In­ Between in Croatia and its Intimates Ian MacMillen Prelude: Miroslav Skoro's Twentieth Anniversary Concert In November 2009, Croatian pop singer Miroslav Skoro performed in front of some twenty thousand fans at Arena Zagreb, the capital city's much lauded new sports hall. This was the second largest audience drawn by a Croatian act since the hall's opening the previous December, I a testament to Skoro's continuing status as one of Croatia's most popular patriotic performers (as well as television star and, in recent years, politician and record mogul). Aside from the notably large attendance, the concert in Zagreb was of particular significance to Skoro for its timing: held on the twentieth day of November, his performance celebrated twenty years' work in the music industry as a professional singer and songwriter. Accompanied by his band (on backup vocals, tenor saxophone, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboard, drums, and electric bass) and a number of guest musicians from past projects and from his family, Skoro performed repertoire from throughout his career and thereby commemorated his twenty years of hit songs and his many musical collaborations with these and other musicians. Skoro spoke to those of us in the audience about the significance of several of these individuals to his life and career, drawing particular atten­ tion to one who, although unable to attend, loomed large over the event: legendary Pittsburgh-born player oftraditional tambura chordophones, Jerry Grcevich. This longtime musical collaborator of Skoro's had arranged most of the singer's early hits and had singly performed the accompaniment (of overdubbed melody and rhythm tamburas) to each of the songs on Skoro's first and third albums.
