Допринос Петра Кранчевића раду Српског црквеног певачког друштва Кранчевић

Abstract

У тексту се сагледава уулога композитора и диригента Петра Кранчевића (1869-1919) и делатност важног ансамбла у музичком животу Сремске Митровице XIX века - Српског црквеног певачког друштва Кранчевић. Циљ истраживања је многострук: истражити на који начин је музички живот Сремске Митровице допринео српској историји музике XIX века; остварити увид у живот и дело композитора и диригента Петра Кранчевића и тумачење разлога за његово опредељење да проведе живот у Сремској Митровици, као и реконструкција развојне линије Српског црквеног певачког друштва. Заслуге за успех и развој друштва приписују се управо поменутом композитору, чија смрт на почетку Првог светског рата додатно отежава праћење рада друштва у почетном периоду. Након Другог светског рата, Никола Радојевић, одлучује се да споји преживеле чланове Српског црквеног певачког друштва и Српског занатлијског певачког друштва Стражилово у једно певачко друштво под именом Српско певачко друштво Кранчевић, на тај начин одавши почаст Петру Кранчевићу.

The paper Contribution of Petar Krancevit to the work of Serbian church singing society in SremskaMitrovica examines the role of Serbian composer Petar Krancevic (1869-1919), as well as that of the ensemble that would play an important part in the musical life of the 19th century Sremska Mitrovica. In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the cultural history of Sremska Mitrovica resulting in several publications that appeared recently documenting the cultural development of Sremska Mitrovica. However, very few publications are available that address the role of both ensemble, and it's conductor and composer Petar Krancevic. A small number of studies adress the connection of the two which motivates this research, having an aim to explain interweaving in musical life of the two. The findings illustrate the role Sremska Mitrovica took part in spreading the spirit and idea of nationality and freedom. The objective of the paper is manifold: to investigate the contribution this town made to Serbian history of music; to examine the life and work of the composer and conductor Petar Krancevic and his reasons for choosing Sremska Mitrovica as his residence; to reconstruct the development flow of the Serbian church singing society and thus to discover the reasons for the termination of its activity. Serbian church singing society is formed in 1864., but is active since 1865. The first president of the society was merchant and banker Pavle Panajotovic, and vice president catholic priest Zivko Odzic. First precentor of the society is lovan Radaus and after him were Branislav Adamovic, Nikola Radojevic, Petar Krancevic and Stevan Hinic. The success and the development of the society was mostly attributed to the work of Petar Krancevic, whose later death hinders the investigation of choir's activity, and so does the beginning of the World War I. Moreover, World War II devastates the archive and other property of the society, taking a great number of lives with it. Nikola Radojevic suggested the idea of joining the remaining living members of Serbian church singing society, as well as those of Serbian crafting singing society Straiilovo into one society named Serbian singing society Krancevit in honor of their most respected conductor and composer.
