Mojim roditeljima, koji su me uvek podržavali, podsticali i verovali u mene . FUNKCIONALNA ULOGA MUZIKE I MUZI ČKE PRODUKCIJE U O ČUVANJU NACIONALNE KULTURE REZIME Predmet rada i istraživanja koje je u osnovi ove doktorske disertacije temelji se u kontekstualnom sagledavanju uloge muzike u očuvanju i promociji nacionalne kulture, a kroz povezivanje delatnosti i delovanja javnog medijskog servisa – RTS i njegove Muzi čke produkcije kao organizaciono-produkcione jedinice kojoj je primarno poveren zadatak sa navedenom misijom. Obzirom da je predmet rada je kompleksan, diskurs prou čavanja je fokusiran na programe Radio Beograda - Prvi program, Drugi program, Tre ći program, Beograd 202 i muzi čki program Stereorama, kao i na Zvu čni arhiv. U obradi ovako definisanog predmeta rada, koriš ćeno je nekoliko teorijskih diskursa, po čev od teorija javnog servisa, kojima se definišu specifi čnosti modela medijskih ustanova kojima je poverena uloga da budu promoteri i zaštitnici interesa javnosti; potom teorije nacije i nacionalnog identiteta, ali i sociološko-kulturološke teorije, koje ukazuju na potrebu kulturološkog definisanja nacionalne kulture. Okosnicu rada činila je pretpostavka, koja je velikim delom i kvalitetno potvr đena, da su muzi čki sadržaji koji su producirani u okvirima Muzi čke produkcije RTS, i koja se plasira kroz programe javnog servisa, jedno od najzna čajnijih programskih sredstava putem koga se reprezentuje nacionalna kultura. Pomenuto implicira da izborom i realizacijom, snimanjem, prenosima i arhiviranjem muzi čkih sadržaja, osnivanjem i razvojem umetni čkih ansambala, javni radiodifuzni servis ostvaruje svoju osnovnu funkciju i opravdava zadatke koje su mu povereni od strane javnosti i društva.

  • Round Dances Scot Byars Started Dancing in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years.

  • The Fiddle Traditions the Violin Comes to Norway It Is Believed That The
    The fiddle traditions The violin comes to Norway It is believed that the violin came to that violins from this period were Norway in the middle of the 1600s brought home by, amongst others, from Italy and Germany. This was Norwegian soldiers who fought in probably as a result of upper class wars in Europe. music activities in the towns. But, much suggests that fiddle playing was known in the countryside before this. Already around 1600 ‘farmer fiddles’ are described in old sources, and named fiddlers are also often encountered. We know of the Hardanger fiddle from the middle of the 1600s, which implies that a fiddle-making industry was already established in the countryside before the violin was popular in the Norwegian towns. Rural craftsmen in Norway must have acquired knowledge about this new instrument from 1500s Italy and been inspired by it. One can imagine From 1650 onwards, the violin quickly became a popular instrument throughout the whole of the country. We have clear evidence of this in many areas – from Finnmark, the rural areas of the West Coast and from inland mountain and valley districts. The fiddle, as it was also called, was the pop instrument of its day. There exist early descriptions as to how the farming folk amused themselves and danced to fiddle music. In the course of the 1700s, its popularity only increased, and the fiddle was above all used at weddings and festive occasions. Fiddlers were also prominent at the big markets, and here it was possible to find both fiddles and fiddle strings for sale.

The data have been obtained and XML-annotated using the Python program- ming language and the libraries lyricsmas- ter/yattag. The corpus has been preprocessed and basic statistical data have been gener- ated by the XSL transformation.

The extraction of socio- cultural topics has been performed using the Unitex software, whereas the prevailing top- ics have been visualised with the TreeCloud software. KEYWORDS: corpus linguistics, Yugoslav rock and roll, web scraping, natural language processing, text mining.

  • 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.
