In this article we discuss the critical reception of the work of composer Stanojlo Rajičić (1910–2000), whose presence in the public musical life of Belgrade was noted already in the 1920s, when he was a student at the “Stanković” Music School and then the Belgrade Music School. The critical reception of his compositional
work can be followed for almost seven decades. Performances of Rajičić’s
works often provoked controversies and polemics – which speak not only about
the composer’s oeuvre itself, but even more so about the state of musical life of
Belgrade, Serbia and Yugoslavia in the 20th century. Thus we analyze the reception
of Rajičić’s work in the light of historical events that crucially influenced the
development of Serbian art music throughout the twentieth century. The article
is based on the study of extensive archival material preserved at the Institute of
Musicology SASA, Radio Belgrade, as well as private collections.
У овом раду представљамо критичку рецепцију стваралаштва композитора,
академика САНУ Станојла Рајичића (1910–2000), чије је присуство у јавном
музичком животу Београда било забележено још двадесетих година XX века,
у периоду када је био ученик музичке школе „Станковић“ и потом Музичке
школе у Београду. Критичку рецепцију Рајичићевог композиторског
деловања могуће је испратити у распону од готово седам деценија. Извођења
Рајичићевих дела неретко су пратиле контроверзе и полемике, које говоре
не само о композиторовом опусу, већ још више о музичком животу
Београда, Србије и Југославије током XX века. Отуда рецепцију Рајичићевог
стваралаштва сагледавамо у светлу историјских догађаја који су кључно
утицали на развој српске уметничке музике у ХХ веку. Студија је заснована
на проучавању обимне архивске грађе сачуване у Музиколошком институту
САНУ, Радио Београду и приватним колекцијама.
In this article we discuss the critical reception of the work of composer Stanojlo Rajičić
(1910–2000), whose presence in the public musical life of Belgrade was noted
already in the 1920s, when he was a student at the “Stanković” Music School and
then the Belgrade Music School. The critical reception of his compositional work can be followed for almost seven decades. Performances of Rajičić’s works often
provoked controversies and polemics – which speak not only about the composer’s
oeuvre itself, but even more so about the state of musical life of Belgrade, Serbia
and Yugoslavia in the 20th century. Thus we analyze the reception of Rajičić’s work
in the light of historical events that crucially influenced the development of Serbian
art music throughout the twentieth century. The article is based on the study of
extensive archival material preserved at the Institute of Musicology SASA, Radio
Belgrade, as well as private collections.
Based on the reception of Rajičić’s compo...sitional output during the seven decades
of his career, we come to a conclusion that his oeuvre fully reflected all the
ideological upheavals, challenges and turnovers that Serbian and Yugoslav society
experienced during the twentieth century. Rajičić’s personal creative style underwent
several, more or less dramatic transformations, which were largely motivated
by his reactions to the reception of his works by music critics, fellow composers,
concert audiences, but also by the communist ideologues after World War II.
After Rajičić’s initial success as a young Belgrade prodigy, upon his return from
Prague where he studied composition, Rajičić’s modernist works were mostly misunderstood,
and their negative reception reflected a long and arduous struggle for
the professionalization and modernization of musical life and education in Serbia.
On the other hand, Rajičić’s works written during the dictates of the ideology of
socialist realism, such as the Second Violin Concerto or the Third Piano Concerto
– which at the time of their creation were considered by the Marxist critics to be
on the “correct” path of bringing high art closer to the broadest audience – were
later harshly criticized precisely because of the composer’s readiness to meet the
expectations of the Marxist ideologues and to follow the path of least resistance.
Furthermore, Rajičić, a former modernist, became notorious in the late 1970s as an
advocate of “backward” and “outdated” compositional tendencies, which hindered
the modernization of Serbian music in the Yugoslav and European contexts. Last but
not least, towards the end of his academic career, Rajičić’s status as an authoritative
professor of composition at the Belgrade Academy of Music and a fellow of the Serbian
Academy of Sciences and Arts provoked a revolt of the youngest generation of
composers, who strived to emulate the most innovative global music tendencies of
that time.
