davor in jenko between slovenian and ser bian music
bia (TV premiere: November 22).6 The film was shown in public soon after,
at the Festive Academy dedicated to Jenko, in the Conference Hall of SASA,
on 26 November 2014, exactly a day after the centenary of Jenko’s death.7
On the same day, organised by the Institute of Musicology and the Nation-
al Council of the Slovenian Minority in the Republic of Serbia, the interdis-
ciplinary scientific conference Davorin Jenko (1835–1914). Contributions to
the Culture of Remembrance was held. The results of their latest research
work were presented by experts in the fields of musicology (Sonja Marink-
ović, Marijana Kokanović-Marković, Ivana Vesić, Srdjan Atanasovski and
Katarina Tomašević), comparative literary studies (Maja Đukanović), mu-
sic theory (Anica Sabo) and cultural anthropology (Mladena Prelić). The
two-day programme dedicated to Jenko was concluded with a concert of
his music, carefully and thoughtfully selected by Anica Sabo.8 The pro-
gramme consisted of Jenko’s most representative achievements in the fields
of choral, chamber vocal and orchestral music (in piano versions).9 To all
these events the daily press and electronic media in Serbia have paid a sur-
prising amount of attention, which was unexpected for nowadays! One of
the possible reasons for such unexpected media attention certainly lies in
the fact that Jenko’s solemn song “Bože pravde” serves as the official an-
them of the Republic of Serbia.
6 This film, with Slovenian subtitles (translation from Serbian to Slovenian by
professor Maja Đukanović), appeared in 2015 in DVD version, produced in a small
number of copies, as an internal edition of the National Council of the Slovenian
national minority in the Republic of Serbia.
7 The Academy was held with the presence of the highest representatives of SASA, the
Slovenian Embassy, the Institute of Musicology SASA and the National Council of
the Slovenian minority in the Republic of Serbia.
