Folk Music Ensembles Of Hrvatsko Zagorje

Summary/Abstract: In this article focus is on several types of instrumental ensembles of Hrvatsko zagorje: violin ensembles, wind ensembles and tamburitza ensembles. At the regional and local level these types of ensemble are given prominence as folk ensembles and they are a regular feature at various social gatherings (from baptisms, weddings and dances to funerals) at which they sometimes perform music of the earlier tradition, but much more frequently newly-composed songs in the Kajkavian dialect and/or in local vernaculars. But at the state level, creativity is still entrusted to the performances of cultural and art societies whose performances are adapted to the stage, and who frequently perform old songs and dances that are rare in spontaneous performances by groups of people.
