Hrvatske uskrsnice

The collection and songbook Hrvatske uskrsnice (Croatian Easter Songs) by the distinguished ethnomusicologist, music transcriber, and collector of folk heritage Miroslav Vuk Croata represents an exceptional work of Croatian musical and religious heritage. Published in 1998 by Naklada Dr. Feletar, the book offers a comprehensive overview of traditional Easter hymns. Through years of fieldwork, the author transcribed and preserved from oblivion precious folk songs from various regions of Croatia. This publication includes lyrics, melodies, and harmonizations of traditional church songs dedicated to Easter, the Passion of Christ, and the Lenten season. Each transcription reflects the deep devotion and authentic musical expression of the Croatian people. The book also serves as an invaluable resource for choir directors, organists, church singers, and researchers of folk heritage. This work remains an enduring monument to Croatian folk spirituality and musical culture. The collection is essential reading for all enthusiasts of traditional art, theology, and ethnomusicology. It beautifully bridges the art of music and Christian tradition.
