Summary: Croatian musical heritage pertaining to the town of Rijeka
is only partly known and all the signs are that additional part of it does
exist but it has not, however, been scientifically dealt with up to now. A
new set of procedures for doing the research in the archives, church
collections of musical works and collections in private property is being
initiated. Especially a new for us methodology of processing is set up and
the whole work is consequently directed to a full exploration and valuation
of herttage.Still unknown and as yet unpublished works are being processed
to be made ready for public presentation and performing. The work greatly
contributes to the development of Croatian musicology on the whole and
should be considered chiefly from the viewpoint of Rijeka as its
contribution to the heritage both in the field of sacred and secular music.
Research goals: Exploration of Croatican musical heritage in Rijeka
is dually orientated, viz.: 1. To explore Rijeka musical heritage and
systematize it into Croatian musical heritage as an integral part of it. 2.
To view and consider Musical heritage of Rijeka as a specific constituant
part of overall Croatian cultural heritage. In that sense, the purpose is
to establish the exsistence of Rijeka musical life during the course of its
history and to make up the present musical life in Rijeka full complement
to a musically-scientific compoment is badly needed. The research into the
matter is intended to record and preserve the material of Croatian musical
heritage to be existent. In addition, by musicological process of works and
authors, either of those already known or those presumed to be existnt and
to be found in the not yet sufficiently explored archives, will no doubt
add greatly to the development of Croatian musicology. Special attention is
to be paid to researches in the church musical archives of Rijeka and, if
need be, in others throughout Croatia. Part of the results will be made
public in special monografhs or other publications and this fact will
nicely enrich Croatian musical publishing. With that, a notable
contribution will be welcome for a larger current repertoire.
