Arti Musices Pannoniarum - the compositional practice in Vojvodina in the social-historical and musico-historical context

Abstract

In this paper, the territorial frameworks are set with the aim of forming a regional histor?ical synthesis dedicated to the creation of art music in Vojvodina, a synthesis that differs from those offered in previous music historiographies. It can be said that the composers who greatly contributed to the development of the musical life of the Vojvodina communities in the interwar period have made modest contributions to the ?local type? musical modernism. In the second half of the 20th century, they were involved in determining the place of ?new music? within modernism and realism in the Cold War period. The Serbian National Theatre, the Association of Composers of Vojvodina and the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad gave support to compositional practice in Vojvodina after the Second World War.
