a word on chanting: 
Byzantine as well as the old Serbian sacred music is characterized, as far as its inner essence is concerned, by simplicity or. freedom from undue complexity, by purity or freedom from everything sensual, ostentatious, insincere, and by unsurpassed power and spirituality. As regards its outer form or technical aspect, it is characterized bu the fact that it is entirely vocal, not making use of any instruments, and monophonic, that is, employing melodies in one vocal part only. In order to enrich and augment the melody, this music employs, , instead of polyphony and the accompaniment of the organ or some other I instrument, a finer, more spiritual means: the isocratima or holding-note. The work of the isocrats consists of holding a drone on the basic tone of the mode in which the melody is being sung. The isocratima not only enhances the melody, but also emphasizes the mode in which the psalm, humn or ode is being sung, and adds, solemnness and power to the psalmody. Its use goes back to the early Christian period. In order to provide the chanters worth needed period,of rest, and to keep the congregation in a state of inner wakefulness antiphony is employed. That is, not one but two choirs are employed, so the congregation are not subjected. to the sleep-conductive monotony of hearing continuously the same voice or voices, coming from the same part of the church. This music has its own system of musical scales, its own laws and canons, its own modes of composition, its own notation. The symbOlS above the words are interval signs. They do not give the pitch of every tone in the melody, bud indicate how many tones a certain note lies above or below the preceding one, orwhether it is a repetition of it. The aim of this music is not to display the fine voices of the chanters, or to entertain the congregation, or to evoke aesthetic experience. In the firct place it is a means of worship and veneration; and in the second plase, a means of self-perfection, of eliciting and cultivating man\'s higher thoughts and feelings and of oposing and eliminating his lower, undesirable ones.

Stevan St. Mokranjac - Rukoveti, Liturgija, Opelo / Song Wreaths, Liturgy, Requiem

Song Wreaths, Liturgy, Requiem
Hor RTB - dirigent Mladen Jagušt 
RTB Choir - conducted by Mladen Jagušt 

Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac (1856—1914) centralna ličnost srpske muzike. Srpski kompozitor i muzički pedagog, klasik srpske muzike, njena najistaknutija licnost na prelazu iz XIX u XX vek, zaslužan za uvođenje srpskog nacionalnog duha u umetničku muziku.

Rođen je 9. januara 1856. godine u Negotinu. Završio je gimnaziju u Beogradu; upisao se na prirodno-matematički odsek Velike Škole. Kao gimnazijalac bio je član Srpskog pevačkog društva. Uz pomoć Društva, 1879. godine otišao je na muzičke studije u Minhen, kod J. Rajnberga. Privremeno je prekinuo studije 1883, ali ih je nastavio 1884. u Rimu, kod Parizotija, a od 1885. do 1887. na Konzervatorijumu u Lajpcigu.

Godine 1884. postaje horovođa pevačkog drustva Kornelije Stankovic, a 1887. godine dirigent Belgradeskog pevačkog drustva. Od 1887. do 1900. radio je i kao nastavnik muzike u Prvoj Beogradskoj gimnaziji, a od 1901. kao predavač pojanja u Bogosloviji. Zajedno sa Stanislavom Biničkim i Cvetkom Manojlovićem osnivac je prve stalne muzičke škole (1899) – Srpska muzička škola u Beogradu (danasnje ime „Mokranjac“), čiji je direktor bio do svoje smrti. Njegovom zaslugom osnovan je prvi gudački kvartet u Srbiji. Godine 1906. izabran je za dopisnog člana Srpske kraljevske akademije (danas: Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti).

Najpoznatija njegova dela su svakako Rukoveti – petnaest spletova pesama zasnovanih na folklornim motivima iz različitih delova Srbije, Bosne, Makedonije, Bugarske, Primorski napjevi, duhoviti skerco Kozar, kao i muzika za pravoslavna bogosluženja: velelepna Liturgija, iz koje je najpoznatija Heruvimska pesma, najznačajnije ostvarenje horske muzike u Srba, Opelo u fis-molu, Tri statije, Tebe Boga hvalim, Veličanije svetom Savi...

Vredno je radio i kao melograf; poznati su njegovi zapisi Narodnih pesama i igara sa melodijama iz Levca, kao i dve znacajne zbirke zapisa sa srpskim crkvenim napevima: Osmoglasnik i Strano pjenije. Umro je 28. septembra 1914. u Skoplju.

Antologija srpskih i crnogorskih narodnih pesama / The Anthology of Serbian and Montenegrin folk songs


Antologija srpskih i crnogorskih narodnih pesama
The Anthology of Serbian and Montenegrin folk songs
2 CD set with artwork and a booklet

All types of songs in this Anthology have been classified into three groups, according to their textual subject matter: love and sim-ilar songs, working songs, ritual and custom songs. Sound examples on the disk include the said genres, divided, according to the manner of performance into two categories: one-part and multi-part singing. One-part (monophonic) songs (1-15), with their archaic characteris-tics, are generally performed by a solo voice (posamo) (1,3, 4,12-15), but often enough by several voices in unison (2, 5-11). 
However, multi-part (generally two-part, or diaphonic) rural singing (16-30), known also as singing "iz glasa", can be hetero phonic or bourdon (16-21), with special stylistic, archaic traits manifested primarily in simultaneous seconds. As a relatively novel practice, in some villages in Serbia songs are performed in a way known as "na bas". This is homo-phonic two-part singing (22-30), with the prevailing intervals of thirds and fifths. Owing to specific geographical and historical circumstances, the Serbs and Montenegrin were for centuries exposed to i cultural influences both from the East and the West. The traces of foreign cultural spheres have been preserved to this day, primarily in larger settlements and towns, located on the longitudinal and transversal communications of the Balkans, connecting Europe and the East. Ancient rural patriarchal culture, which was only exceptionally affected by foreign influences, survives in many parts of Serbia and Montenegro.

Gabi Novak ~ Peva Gabi Novak (1961)



I found two versions of this album,. One was a LP rip, the other a CD reissue rip. Both were poorly executed rendering the LP rip essentially useless because of severe clipping and other artifacts that were superimposed onto the audio files during the conversion process.The original masters from which the CD was recreated could have been in stereo, but the Sound Forge audio editor showed two identical waveforms for both channels. Again, excessive clipping along with DC offset was found on mp3 files which were encoded at 192kbps.

In order to make these audio files more listenable, the following "re-mastering" was done:
All audio files normalized at -16dB; removed DC offset Then the both channels were converted into a true centered MONO at 128 kbps. This essentially cut the file size in half and did not compromise the audio quality. Original dynamics and frequency curve were retained. For optimum listening you may need to tweak your EQ slightly.

Matt Collins - 18 izvornih snimaka (1963-67)



MATT COLLINS was born as Karlo Metikoš on February 8, 1940 in Zagreb, Croatia (ex-Yugoslavia). Studied to become a classical pianist but got absorbed into rock and roll in 1956 via couple of singles (Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Little Richard) that he got as a present with an imported record player. Finding replacement needles for western gramophones was next to impossible in 50's Yugoslavia so he had to improvise with ordinary sewing needles to cater for his hunger for music. Needles to say he played those few precious records to the bone. Got his first paying job in 1958 in a cabaret show. Since nobody in the management knew nothing about rock and roll they simply filed him under negro spirituals and made him wear black shoe polish makeup on stage. In 1959 he puts together a vocal group "Regal", and sings to French tourists in holiday resorts on the Adriatic coast. The band appears a few times on regional television which sparks a controversy over its name. In Serbo-Croatian language "Regal" is most commonly associated with a three wing wardrobe. In December of 1961, encouraged by French "fans", Matt arrives in Paris with only a dollar in his pocket. He had spent his modest budget on a trendy shirt in Dannemark. For some time he lives in the street or in shelters and goes to auditions. Finally, he gets to play at American army bases. For this he had to learn the songs which were popular stateside. Since he had little money, Matt went to a record shop on Chaps du Elliseys where they had booths for listening. He spent hours in that store played all the songs several times until he learned them all. At that time Matt caught the attention of Phillips Records as one of the most popular singers in a club called "Golf Druo". Philips records coupled him with a vocal group "Double Six of Paris" in an effort to cover the Cascade's hit "Rhythm of the Rain" in French. Making cover of American hits in native language was a common practice throughout Europe, for these records easily outsold the originals. The record was a huge hit in France which led to further singles on Philips like "Nobody But You" and "She's Not You". In 1962 riding high on the tide of his French fame (in the poles he was higher than Syvie Vartan and Johny Hallyday-The French Elvis) Matt comes back to Yugoslavia. He toured his homeland a few times in the mid 6O's, always to fanatic response of the audience. Yugoslav singer have always been popular in the Soviet Union, so Matt joined a few package shows. In this country he was known as the Man of steel (Zheleiznoe Thchowek) because of his gold lame suit like the one made famous by Elvis. It was here that he was ordered to sing either in Russian or Serbo-Croatian, because whenever he sang in English the authorities had to bring policemen on horses to calm down the audience. Eventually a deal was struck. One song per concert could be sung in English. From 1966 to 1971 Matt and his band were under contract to appear in Hilton Hotels across Mediterranean, Asia and Africa. In Teheran he appeared with an Italian band on The Schah's birthday party. Time was scarce to prepare a sort of "Happy Birthday" song, so Matt came up with the idea to sing a rock version of a Croatian folk song "Marica"-"These are not the sails of my boat, they are the underpants of my girlfriend Marica". The Schah Resa Pahlavi liked the song and awarded each member of the band with a golden coin. In Morocco he played for the harem of King Hasan. The band was locked in the bathroom, golden plumbing and all, while the speakers were placed in the actual premises of the harem. Once in Addis Ababa during the meeting of The Organisation of African Unity, the emperor Bokhasa, later to come to international fame as cannibal, liked their music so much that he offered to buy the band a drink. Matt tried to negotiate a Dom Perignon, but Bokhasa was an anti alcoholic so he ordered the waiter to bring them each a cup of coffee. In 1971 he returns to Yugoslavia once more. He meets an upcoming young singer Josipa Lisac. It was love at first sight. Matt gives up his singing for a role of live-in husband and an exclusive songwriter. Josipa becomes one of the biggest stars of former Yugoslavia and still remains a huge celebrity in her native Croatia. During the 70's Matt draws attention to himself as author of rock opera "Gubec Beg", based on a leader of peasants uprising. In the 80's and until his death in 1991 Matt Collins was the songwriting force behind his wife's huge success. In 1984 he caused a stir in the media being a bad boy behind Josipa's sold out concert in the capital of Yugoslavia, Belgrade. During the course of that same night Matt, Josipa and their party crashed a Folk Club where the newspapermen saved Matt's life by preventing him from snatching the microphone away from the house singer. Now a reader should be avare that Yugoslav folk music consists from a Accordion based melody with Greek and Turkish elements thrown in for good measure. Singing R&R there, would be like trying to enlighten guests at a Hassidic wedding with a little heavy metal. Matt was in a grave mood:" Maybe these people never heard of Rock and Roll. In my time we had the twist, madison.. Do I have to learn to Kolo (a traditional ring dance) just to save myself from being run over by the crowd?" The party had a meal during which Matt indulged in some target practise using tchevapchtci ( a grilled minced meat fingers) as ammo and singer as a target. The next stop of Matt's Belgrade cruise was a trendy discotheque. The DJ spotted Matt and unearthed a copy of "Hey Hey Hey" (a Little Richard's cover). Nobody could stop Matt from grabbing the mike this time and singing along with his voice on the record. This all came as quite a shock to regulars raised on Duran Duran and Boy George. Nevertheless the raw energy vibes it was reported in the press, was something that everyone understands and is able to feel. Matt got a standing ovation for his little stunt-some applauded to the legend whom the recognised, others to the brave imitator of the singer from that strange old record. Matt Collins died in summer of 1991. Exactly one year later his wife Josipa launched the first of now annual tribute concerts where contemporary artists mix with 60's veterans to pay homage to a great man and Rock and Roll - the music that started it all.

Jazz orchestra RTB - Muzika moje mladosti


Jedna od značajnijih kolekcija Yu- džeza iz 1984. Ovde je pretstavljeno CD izdanje iz otprilike 2000 ili tu negde sa 20 pesama. Originalno LP izdanje sadrži 11 numera. Na omotu je greškom izostavljena kompozicija #3 "Španske oči" ali se nalazi na samoj nalepnici na LP. Ovde sam priložio artwork sa LP.

Na poleđini LP se nalazi veoma lepa uvodna reč Dr. Dragutina Gostuškog.

Fotografija nije baš najbolja, sken nije originalan već sam ga pokupio negde na netu, ali uz malo napora može se pročitati.

Dorian Gray ~ Sjaj u tami (1984)



The band was formed in 1982 in Zagreb, then SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia consisting of the frontman Massimo Savić (vocals, guitar), Vedran Čupić (guitar), Emil Krnjić (bass guitar), Toni Ostojić (keyboards), and Branko Terzić (drums), who suggested the name Dorian Gray after the Oscar Wilde's fictional character Dorian Gray. Since the group was into art rock, influenced by artists such as David Sylvian's Japan, Bryan Ferry's Roxy Music and some David Bowie's works, the other members found the suggested name appropriate and gladly accepted it. Their early rehearsals and gigs were taking place in the art gallery of the Zagreb's Student Centre. After performing in Croatia and the then-SR Slovenia the group soon got critically acclaimed across the whole former Yugoslav federation and took part in the notable music festival YURM (Yugoslav Rock Moment).
In the late-1983 Dorian Gray recorded its debut album Sjaj u tami ("Glow in the Darkness") produced by Saša Habić, who played the electric piano in the recording sessions, which also featured guest appearances by the bassist Jadran Zdunjić and the saxophone player Miroslav Sedak Benčić. The album, which was a major success was also noted for its artistic record sleeve which was designed by Sanja Baharah and Mario Krištofić. Notable hit single was "Sjaj u tami", a cover version of the famous song "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)". After the release of the album, the line up was changed since Terzić, Čupić and Krnjić decided to leave the group. New members became: Zdunjić, the drummer Dragan Simonovski and the guitarist Zoran Cvetković Zok, a former member of the eminent Croatian and Yugoslav Rock acts Prljavo kazalište and Parni valjak. The second album Za tvoje oči ("For Your Eyes Only") which was recorded in Sweden and produced by Sjunne Ferger, was released in 1985. After Dorian Gray disbanded in 1986, Massimo Savić started a successful solo career as a pop music singer.

Vokalni Kvartet Predraga Ivanovića


Ovde vam pretstavljamo CD sa digitalno obrađenim kompozicijama sa albuma "Pod Sjajem Zvezda" plus 4 kompozicije koje se ne nalaze na originalnom albumu.  CD sam dobio na poklon od jednog prijatelja i koliko sam upoznat ovakva kompilacija nikada nije zvanično izdata.  Znači jedan, uslovno rečenio, raritet. Kvartet Predraga Ivanovića ne treba posebno pretstavljati, ali za one koji kojim slučajem nisu čuli za ovaj vrhunski sastav neke informacije mogu naći ovde

Što se tiče samog albuma, na netu nema previše podataka o istom kao ni dobrih fotografija omota.
Kompozicije na ovom CD-u su savršeno snimljene, dinamički opseg je veoma dobar s obzirom da sve kompozicije datiraju iz 50 i 60-ih godina prošlog veka.  I naravno, nema šuma ni dosadnog pucketanja kojim obiluju stare gramofonske ploče.
