Folk singing in Solin in the context of development of the klapa singing in Solin since the mid 20th century
No full textNakon što su u razdoblju od 1906. do 1947. godine melografi i folkloristi u nekoliko navrata pohodili Solin s namjerom da zabilježe vokalnu folklornu glazbenu praksu ovdašnjega stanovništva za potrebe vlastitih etnografskih odnosno etnomuzikoloških istraživanja, ili su pak djelovali u sklopu projekata koje su organizirale i podupirale strukovne institucije s istim znanstvenim interesima, u drugoj polovini 20. stoljeća solinsko pučko pjevanje u najvećoj mjeri počinje bivati predmetom zanimanja glazbenih stručnjaka zaokupljenih klapskim pjevanjem. I dok su njihovi prethodnici solinskoj vokalnoj folklornoj glazbi većinom pristupali iz znanstvenoga diskursa, melografi druge polovine stoljeća u solinskom pučkom pjevanju uglavnom nalaze materijale za kreaciju klapskoga repertoara, posebice nakon osnivanja Festivala dalmatinskih klapa u Omišu 1967. godine, koji je potaknuo ubrzani razvoj i uspon klapskoga pjevanja. Ovaj rad donosi pregled njihove melografske i obrađivačke djelatnosti te s njom nedjeljiva razvoja klapskoga pjevanja u Solinu od sredine sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća pa sve do danas.After several visits by melographers to Solin from 1906 till 1947, aimed to collecting the local vocal folk music activities for their own ethnographical or ethnomusicological researches, or within the projects organised and supported by musicological institutions of the same scientific interests, in the latter part of the 20th century the folk singing in Solin became subject matter of an increased interest of music professionals dealing with the klapa singing. While their predecessors had approached the vocal folk music in Solin from a scientific discourse, the melographers of the latter half of the 20th century in the folk singing in Solin found materials for creating the klapa repertoire, especially after establishing the Omiš Dalmatian Klapa Festival in 1967, that stimulated a faster development and rise of the klapa singing. In Solin the klapa singing developed simultaneously with the klapa singing in the rest of Dalmatia, stimulated by establishing the Omiš Dalmatian Klapa Festival in 1967, to have reached a stronger expansion after founding the Solin male klapa in 1974. From then till the
creation of this paper, through activities of numerous male and female klapas in Solin that have made significant achievements at the klapa scene, placing thereby Solin among the reputed klapa localities, the klapa singing in Solin has kept its developmental continuity, today sharing the destiny of the klapa singing in the rest of Dalmatia and Croatia, encountering the present day social and cultural challenges. In the second part of the paper, the author deals with the activities of the melographers and arrangers, Vinko Lesić, Jerko Martinić, Ljubo Stipišić, Duško Tambača, Blaženko Juračić, Jure Šaban Stanić and Tonći Ćićerić, who in the period of time from 1950 till 2020 collected 44 folk tunes in as many as 54 different melographic records. These records have resulted in 63 arrangements for Dalmatian klapas. In the latter half of the 20th century the klapa arrangers of the folk singing of Solin used also 7 melographic records collected in Solin in 1906 by Vladoje Bersa. From these Bersa\u27s records 11 klapa arrangements have been created. Arrangements of some of the recorded tunes have become part of the standard klapa repertoire, performed by numerous Croatian klapas today. Still, most part of them has remained in the repertoires of the klapas of Solin that, by performing the vocal folk music of their closer region, are trying to preserve their own heritage and music identity
Notes for the study of medieval Solin (1)
No full textRad je nastao kao uvod u detaljnije istraživanje solinskoga razvijenoga i kasnoga srednjeg vijeka. Radi se o svojevrsnom uvodom tekstu koji će se u budućnosti dodatno razraditi kako bi se dobila što cjelovitija slika topografije i povijesti ovoga prostora u navedenom razdoblju.The Classical and early medieval history of Solin play an immense role in the contexts of the national and the European histories alike. This paper is a collection of notes on the time that followed the most famous part of the Solin\u27s history, making a base for further and more detailed researches. So far, this period has been best treated in the numerous works of Rev. Lovre Katić on the medieval and Early Modern Period history of Solin. The paper is intended to make a triptych. The first part, published in this issue of Tusculum, is to describe briefly time, space, borders and communications. The second part will be dedicated to the objects that existed alongside the communications and within the borders – churches, cemeteries, settlements, fortifications. The third part would be dedicated to the people of that time and the attitudes for the Classical town\u27s ruins. Strictly speaking, in the period of time dealt with here there was no clearly delineated area of Solin, because its main character was being fought for by both Klis and Split. Same as in the previous, Classical, period, through the Solin area passed extremely important communications, connecting this area with its closer and farther hinterlands, but also with the neighbouring area of Trogir. Besides these, there are also less important, local communications, still waiting to be properly valued
Prehistoric finds from Sutikva hillfort in Solin
No full textGradinsko naselje Sutikva nalazi se u istočnom dijelu Solina, uz veliku vapnenačku stijenu koja je bila njegova središnja točka. To prapovijesno naselje danas je većim dijelom uništeno gradnjom ceste prema Mravincima i širenjem novoga solinskog groblja. U radu se obrađuju pokretni nalazi iz arheološke zbirke Marka Matijevića prikupljeni na Sutikvi tijekom devedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća. Uglavnom je riječ o ulomcima keramičkih posuda koje se mogu datirati u brončano i željezno doba.The archaeological site Sutikva is situated in the eastern part of the present day Solin, next o the large limestone rock by the road to the Mravinci village. This is a prehistoric archaeological site of the hillfort type. From the top of the rock possible is a fine visual control of the surrounding area and communications. Today, most part of the prehistoric site is destroyed, and a larger number of archaeological finds collected during various construction works in the area settlement is in the archaeological collection of Marko Matijević. Most part of the finds was collected in the 1990s, during the construction of the said road to Mravinci and widening of the Solin cemetery. In total, collected is around 15 kg of ceramic material, of which separated are 104 diagnostic fragments. Most of them are fragments of local ceramic pottery that can be dated to the Bronze or the Iron Ages. Represented are various variants of vessel types, dominated by pots, bowls, cups and pitchers. A larger part of the pottery is of fine quality, and of polished wall surfaces. The dominating decorations are plastic applications of tongue like and horseshoe like forms, applied plastic strips that may be decorated by impressing and cutting, and variations of warted protrusions.
A lesser part of the material found is imported pottery. Most part of this is material of the South Italic production, dominated by the workshops from the present day Apulia and the Greek colonies in South Italy. Besides the ceramic finds, found is also a lesser quantity of lithic artifacts. These are mostly manual millstones and grindstones. Chipped lithic finds are present as well. Considering all the treated material from Sutikva, there can be noted a significant similarity with the sites of the coastal Dalmatia and the offshore islands, from the period from the late Bronze Age till the early Iron Age. Lacking of finds dated around the 3rd ct. BC and later lead to the conclusion that Sutikva ceased being used as a settlement at that time, that could coincide with the beginnings of settling at the area where in the 2nd ct. BC Salona will be forme
Know Your Boundaries: Constraining Gaussian Processes by Variational Harmonic Features
No full textGaussian processes (GPs) provide a powerful framework for extrapolation, interpolation, and noise removal in regression and classification. This paper considers constraining GPs to arbitrarily-shaped domains with boundary conditions. We solve a Fourier-like generalised harmonic feature representation of the GP prior in the domain of interest, which both constrains the GP and attains a lowrank representation that is used for speeding up inference. The method scales as O(nm2) in prediction and O(m3) in hyperparameter learning for regression, where n is the number of data points and m the number of features.Furthermore, we make use of the variational approach to allow the method to deal with non-Gaussian likelihoods. The experiments cover both simulated and empirical data in which the boundary conditions allow for inclusion of additional physical information.Team Jan-Willem van Wingerde
Two drawings by Franjo Kopač in Solin
No full textU radu se objavljuju dva crteža slikara Franje Kopača (1885. – 1941.) koja je izradio u Solinu godine 1932. S tim u vezi iznose se podatci o nekim Kopačevim djelima sačuvanima u Splitu. Posebno je istaknut portret don Frane Bulića, koji je izvorno bio gotovo upola veći nego što je danas, a zanimljiv je i zbog prikaza Minervina (nestaloga) poprsja koje su Buliću darovali kolege profesori godine 1896.In 1926 the artistic community of Split between the two World Wars was joined by the painter Franjo Kopač. He was born on 1 February 1926 in Nova Vas near Žir in Slovenia. Having completed his education in Vienna and Prague, he met Vlaho Bukovac, was conscripted, and after numerous obstacles, made his way to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. He got employment as teacher of drawing, firstly in the Grammar School in Kruševac, and
then in Kranj, from where, in 1926, he was moved by state decree to the State Girls General-Curriculum Grammar School (Državna ženska realna gimnazija; Realschule) in Split. At that time the School was housed in the Classical Curriculum Grammar School building, and the School Master was the reputed professor and culture activist, Dušan Manger. Kopač was employed as a Teacher of Skills, and taught drawing. From the period of time of the Kopač’s employment in Solin, preserved are two drawings showing a gathering of the teachers in Solin in 1932. They are in a horizontally oriented notepad. At its second page there is drawing of teachers at a table. It is signed at bottom right: Solin 24/VI. 1932 Franjo Kopač. At the third page there is drawing of two teachers and a stricken out unfinished image of a third person. It is also signed at bottom right: Solin 26/VI. Franjo Kopač, but not stating the year. We assume it is from the same year. The drawings are sketchy, with some caricature quality, a part of the images are unrecognisable, and there are no names stated with either of them. However, next to some of them Kopač wrote «keys» enabling their identification. Next to the leftmost male image written is Higijena (Hygiene) wherefore this is certainly Dr. Mario Selem, the School Polyclinics physician who taught Hygiene. Next to him is a female person next to which is small bottle with the inscription JOD TIN, which is the «attribute» of Dr. Vesna Sikimić, born Smodlaka (*1903). In the school year 1931-1932 she was a substitute teacher, teaching Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. Left of her is another female image holding a glass in her left hand. Above her is the inscription ŽENSKO PRAVO (women’s right), indicating this is Antica Juras, born Ljubić (1899-1967), who taught Biology. She was the secretary of the Danica Catholic Women Educational Society in Split (Katoličko žensko prosvjetno društvo Danica). One source states her as a co-founder of the Society for Protection of Girls (Društvo za zaštitu djevojaka), also in Split, and she also wrote a children book. At the head of the table is a female image and above her music notes, indicating this is Olga Petrović (later Tresić-Pavičić), who taught Singing and lead the school choir. At the right in the centre is a balding elderly man with spectacles, beard and moustache. By comparison with a photograph of him, we have concluded this is Dušan Manger (1870-1940), the school master and
the City Library director. Upon his arrival to Split, Kopač did not limit his activities to teaching at the Grammar School only, but also intensively painted, especially portraits by which he became well known. He presented himself to the public in the one-man exhibitions in the Salon Galić in Split in the years 1927, 1929 and 1937. Of his «Dalmatian theme» paintings, published are The Port of Split, St. Domnio made after a Lateran mosaic, the portraits of the Rev. Frane
Bulić, the Bishop Kvirin Klement Bonefačić and Dr. Ivo Tartaglia, a copy of the Our Lady of Sorrow after a painting in the Split Cathedral, and The Assumption of Mary in the St. Anthony’s church at Čiovo. The portrait of the Rev. Frane Bulić has had an interesting destiny. Originally it was almost twice as long showing the bronze bust of Minerva (disappeared) presented to him by his fellow teachers when he was forcedly retired for political reasons in 1896. Today preserved is just the right hand side part of the painting, showing Rev. Bulić. Here the catalogue of the Kopač’s works is added four paintings kept in Split: Ss. Cyril
and Methodius, St. John the Evangelist, The Last Communion of St. Jerome and Christ of 1911, from the period of the painter’s studies in Prague. Also published is the iconographically interesting drawing, Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, in possession of the painter’s grand-daughter in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Besides painting his own paintings or copying old ones, Kopač also engaged in restoration of paintings, several such works being known to us.
Franjo Kopač passed away at the age of 56, on 7 September 1941, after a long illness, and was buried at the Split cemetery
Scalable Magnetic Field SLAM in 3D Using Gaussian Process Maps
No full textWe present a method for scalable and fully 3D magnetic field simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) using local anomalies in the magnetic field as a source of position information. These anomalies are due to the presence of ferromagnetic material in the structure of buildings and in objects such as furniture. We represent the magnetic field map using a Gaussian process model and take well-known physical properties of the magnetic field into account. We build local maps using three-dimensional hexagonal block tiling. To make our approach computationally tractable we use reduced-rank Gaussian process regression in combination with a Rao-Blackwellised particle filter. We show that it is possible to obtain accurate position and orientation estimates using measurements from a smartphone, and that our approach provides a scalable magnetic field SLAM algorithm in terms of both computational complexity and map storage.Peer reviewe
Solin as a satellite town of Split
No full textSolin je grad snažne prostorne i demografske dinamike. U ovom radu istražit će se razvoj Grada Solina u sklopu gradske regije Splita. Istraživanje je provedeno putem analize demografskih i socioekonomskih elemenata. Provedeno je istraživanje utjecaja funkcije rada Grada Splita na dnevnu cirkulaciju stanovništva Grada Solina. Utvrđen je stupanj funkcionalne i fizionomske preobrazbe Solina uvjetovane suburbanizacijom i satelitizacijom Splita. Korišten je pojam urban sprawla kao pokazatelja suburbanizacije za koji je korištena nova metodologija.Solin is a city of strong spatial and demographic dynamics. This paper will explore the development of Solin within the Split urban region. The study was conducted through the analysis of demographic and socioeconomic elements. The influence of the work function of Split on the daily circulation of the population of Solin was conducted. The degree of functional and physical transformation of Solin conditioned by the suburbanization and satellitization of Split was determined. The term urban sprawl was introduced as an indicator of suburbanization, for which a new methodology was used
Two epigraphic fragments from a family house in the Ninčevići (Solin)
No full textČlanak opisuje dva ulomka epigrafskih spomenika pronađenih prilikom obnove obiteljske kuće u solinskom naselju Ninčevićima.
Uz ova dva natpisa pronađena su još dva kamena ulomka koji nisu predmetom ove rasprave. Radi se o ulomku stele od koje se vrlo malo može razaznati,
dok je ulomak kasnoantičkoga sarkofaga bogatiji podatcima. Napravljena je podrobna jezična analiza natpisa prema kojoj se može pretpostaviti da je sarkofag bio postavljen za dvije osobe, a vrlo zanimljiv podatak odnosi se na vrijednost izraženu u zlatu koja je uložena u izradu, odnosno pribavljanje sarkofaga. Ulomak stele pripada razdoblju kraja 2. ili 3. stoljeća, dok se sarkofag po svim elementima može datirati u 4. stoljeće.The article describes two fragments of epigraphic monuments found during the renovation of a family house in the Solin settlement Ninčevići. In addition to these two inscriptions, two more stone fragments were found that are not the subject of this discussion. It is a fragment of a stele from which very little can be discerned, while a fragment of a late antique sarcophagus is richer in data. A detailed linguistic analysis of the inscription was made, according to which it can be assumed that the sarcophagus was placed for two people, and a very interesting piece of information refers to the value expressed in gold that was invested in making or acquiring the sarcophagus. Of the sarcophagi known so far in Salona, those on which the price is stated could be obtained from 3 to 15 solidi. The
sarcophagus described here was acquired for 25 solidi, which is the highest price ever reported for Salonitan sarcophagi. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the price of some Late antique Salonitan examples must have been much higher if compared to those on which the information about how much they cost was engraved, only that this price was not stated. The fragment of the stele belongs to the period of the end of the 2nd or 3rd century, while the sarcophagus can be dated to the 4th century by all elements
