His melographic and ethnomusicological work dedicated to Serbian musical folklore is of great significance. In this domain he left pieces of lasting value, such as Sever duva for the mixed choir. As a composer, he was a proponent of the “national style”, which was primarily reflected in choral music. His musical activities were diverse and fuitful. Manojlović (1890–1946) is one of the most important Serbian musicians and musical intellectuals of the interwar period. Manojlović and the Idea of Slavic and Balkan Cultural Unificaton (1918–1941), is the result of research by fourteen scholars from Russia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Portugal, Great Britain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, which were partly presented at an international conference organized by the Muzikološki institut SANU in November 2016. This collective monograph, titled Kosta P. We use the Vygotskian concept of perezhivane to link the emotional experience of the children with the adult culture and history to explain why participation in the children’s choir has been such a significant part of cultural learning and identity formation. The concluding discussion includes an exploration of musical culture, community and identity. This latter we do through an interview with the director and some illustrative observations of two sisters who are participants in the choir. In this paper we historically locate the church and choir and describe the present activities of the children’s choir.
There has been a choir in this space operating continuously since 1853, The First Belgrade Singing Society, Prvo Beogradsko Pevacko Drustvo (PBPD), and in 1981 the children’s choir (DHPBPD) was founded. This church occupies an important geographic, political and religious position in the culture of historical Belgrade. This paper contributes to this particular interdisciplinary genre by contextualising and describing a well-known children’s choir in Serbia that practices and performs in the Belgrade Orthodox Cathedral (Saborna Crkva). In 2013 Campbell and Wiggins edited The Oxford handbook of children’s musical cultures which described different musical experiences and diverse child populations across the world.
