Link title the main and only institute of its kind specialising in scientific research into the classical music in Slovenia. Its research work focuses in particular on the historical aspects of Slovene music from its beginnings to 1941 (including the styles of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th century).

Background

Founded by the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU) in 1972 on the initiative of Academician Dragotin Cvetko, the Institute of Musicology commenced work in Autumn 1980. Cvetko became its first Director and President of its Research Advisory Board. The Institute of Musicology was conceived as an institution that would specialise in the study of historical musicology in the Slovenian lands within a conceptual scheme of national academic science. Upon the founding of the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1982 and the reorganisation of the institutes, Cvetko remained President of the Research Advisory Board while Danilo Pokorn took up the position of Director, heading the Institute until 1992 when he was succeeded by Ivan Klemenčič who carried out the function of the Head of the Institute (the function had been renamed) until 2004. From 2004 onwards the Head of the Institute is Metoda Kokole.

During the 1980s and 1990s the basic research work of the Institute, formally carried out within the Academy research programme on the National and Cultural Heritage of the Slovenians, included the inventory and critical publication of important sources for the history of music in the Slovenian lands on one side, and their academic study on the other. In this vein the collection Monumenta artis musicae Sloveniae was launched in 1983, and is still in circulation.

As a member of the Slovenian Academy Dr Dragotin Cvetko was well aware of the importance of foreign ties. Immediately upon its foundation he drafted a plan for the Institute to host an international scientific conference every three years.

Research takes into account documentary, biographical, bibliographical, analytical and synthetic aspects. The results have been presented in the form of bibliographical catalogues, scientific treatises, critical editions of early Slovene music and contributions to international scientific conferences organised by the Institute. The members of the Institute further participate in other national and international conferences and publish their findings in proceedings. The Institute also collaborates with similar establishments abroad: The Pedagogical Faculty of the State University of Tver in Russia, Ethnological Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic and the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland.

The Institute’s library contains musicological literature, a smaller stock of recent musical scores, copies of manuscripts and editions of earlier Slovene music and audio collection, all together more than 7,000 units of library material. All this material is listed in the alphabetically-organised catalogue in the base of COBISS - Slovene Virtual Library.

The Institute publishes the series Monumenta Artis Musicae Sloveniae and other monographs, proceedings and journals. The complete list of published editions is available on-line.
