Neoromantic »Answer« to the Demands of Socialist Realism: Stanojlo Rajičić Na Liparu for bass and symphonic orchestra (1951)

Abstract

This paper deals with the first cycle for soprano and orchestra in the history of Serbian music. The fact that it was written in 1950 by one of the most prominent Serbian modernist of the interwar period provokes the questions considering the context in which it was composed, the possible reasons for its composition, as well as the reconsideration of its position in the context of Rajičić’s output and Serbian postwar music.
