CHORAL SINGING AS MEANS OF PRESERVING THE CULTURAL-NATIONAL IDENTITY OF SERBS IN THE PRESENT TERRITORY OF ROMANIA

(Case Study: Serbian Urban Choirs 1836-2020)

Summary/Abstract: The Serbian ethnic community in the present territory of Romania proudly nourishes a long and rich tradition of choral singing, which spans from 1836 continuously until nowadays. Initiated with the initial purpose of embellishing the church services, it quickly developed and became richer, carrying along a national component reflected mainly, but not exclusively in the repertoire. Choral singing thus became a means of preserving the cultural and national identity throughout the times, following the current geo-political contexts. The present article analyzes this phenomenon by looking at the repertoire and the overall activity of Serbian choirs in urban areas of today’s Romania.
