A valuable and rare historiographical work by the esteemed Croatian musicologist and academician Josip Andreis. This is a monumental, comprehensive study that systematically introduces the history and development of Croatian musical heritage to foreign experts and art enthusiasts. The book chronologically covers an exceptionally long period—from medieval sacred chants and Glagolitic singing, through Renaissance and Baroque masters, the period of musical Classicism and the Illyrian Movement, all the way to modern trends and composers of the second half of the 20th century. The highest professional standard of translation and terminology is guaranteed by the respected Croatian linguist and professor Vladimir Ivir, who successfully translated Andreis's original work into English. The book includes forewords to the first and second editions, a detailed table of contents, an extensive general bibliography, and an alphabetical index of terms and names at the end, making it an excellent reference manual for researchers and students. The striking white cover, adorned with historical fragments of musical notation in color (including entries from the 12th-century Dubrovnik Neumatic Codex, a 1564 aria by J. Skjavetić, passionals, traditional folk songs, and motifs by F. Lhotka), lends artistic charm and additional aesthetic value to the volume.
