  • Milko Kelemen: Life and Selected Works for Violoncello
    MILKO KELEMEN: LIFE AND SELECTED WORKS FOR VIOLONCELLO by JOSIP PETRAČ (Under the Direction of David Starkweather) ABSTRACT Milko Kelemen (b. 1924) is one of the most extraordinary Croatian composers of the post-World War II era. He has received numerous prestigious awards for his work, while his compositions are published by major companies, including Schott, Universal, Peters, and Hans Sikorski editions. His music is little studied or known internationally. This paper examines this innovative, avant-garde musician and sheds light both on Kelemen’s life and his compositional technique. The latter is examined in four compositions featuring cello as the main subject: Changeant (1968), Drammatico (1983), Requiem for Sarajevo (1994), and Musica Amorosa (2004). The examination of these compositions is placed in a biographical context which reveals how Kelemen’s keen political and cultural interests influenced his development as a composer. In particular, this document looks at Kelemen’s role as one of the founders, and the first president, of the Zagreb Music Biennale Festival, an event known for its ground-breaking work in bringing together artists and composers from the eastern and western blocs during the Cold War, as well as revitalising Croatia’s old-fashioned and provincial cultural scene. This festival of avant-garde music has been running since 1961. INDEX WORDS: Milko Kelemen, Zagreb Biennale, cello, avant-garde music, Changeant, Drammatico, Requiem for Sarajevo, Musica Amorosa MILKO KELEMEN:LIFE AND SELECTED WORKS FOR CELLO by JOSIP

  • Pre-Congress Report 2018 – Croatia / Hrvatska.Pages
    Croatia / Hrvatska In 2017, Hrvatska udruga muzičkih knjižnica, arhiva i dokumentacijskih centara (The Croatian Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres, HUMKAD or CAML), which is the Croatian National Branch of IAML still has a modest number of members: 11 individual and 5 institutional – all from music libraries. Our administration consists of President Željka Radovinović (Academy of Music in Zagreb Library), Secretary Aleksandra Mežnarić Karafin (Academy of Music in Zagreb Library) and Treasurer Nada Bezić (Croatian Music Institute in Zagreb). We hold an annual general assembly and four meetings a year. In addition, we exchange numerous e-mail messages throughout the year. From the government in Croatia again we received no money for our activities. All our plans for new web-projects have been deferred due to lack of finances – we continue to plan them for the next year. In the meantime, we began with an introduction to the idea of creating a virtual exhibition on the great Croatian composer, Boris Papandopulo, his work and perception in the Croatian capital – Zagreb. Croatian members presented it as a poster as part of the congress: 15th Days of Special and Academic Libraries, held in Lovran. The pictures of exhibitions are stored in their institutional repositories, waiting to link them in one joint virtual exhibition, as soon as conditions allow that. The plan anticipate adding also items from the database of autographs made by Music Information Center, biography and bibliography of Boris Papandopulo. Motivated by the great public response last year, linked with the manifestation The Night at the Library, once more we organized an open fair at the Croatian Music Institute.
