Okruen ruevinama Cesergrada i kapelom Majke Boje Risvike, na

ulasku u opinu Kumrovec u Hrvatskom zagorju, smjestio se jedinstveni
spomenik hrvatskoj himni. Predaja kae da je hrvatski pisac i politiar
Antun Mihanovi (1796. - 1861.) u tome slikovitom kraju, okruen
umovitim padinama klanca rijeke Sutle, napisao, a 1835. i objavio znamenite
stihove dananje himne Republike Hrvatske. U tim stihovima koje je 1848.
uglazbio Josip Runjanin, Mihanovi je na jedinstveni nain opjevao ljepotu
domovine, a Lijepa naa ubrzo je postala omiljena domoljubna popijevka te
simbol nacionalnog ponosa Hrvata koji voli svoju domovinu dok mu ivo
srce bije.
Iz Hrvatskoga zagorja s pjesmom Dej mi Boe idemo na krajnji sjever
Hrvatske - u lijepo Meimurje. Nepoznati narodni pjesnik moli Boga da
mu podari otre oi sokolove i snana krila labudova da preleti iroko more i
spoji se ponovno sa svojom ljubavi. Ti si meni po serdini srca, kak v rljeni
jabuki koica, zavrna je poruka, dirljiva i jednostavna, kojoj jedinstvena
melodija meimurskoga folklora dodaje neku posebnu, snanu i iskonsku,
bezvremensku kvalitetu.
Na jugu Hrvatske u Dubrovniku u treem desetljeu XVII. stoljea hrvatski
barokni pjesnik i dramatiar Ivan Gunduli (1589. - 1638.) stvara
pastirsku igru Dubravka i na njenu zavretku pie znamenitu Himnu slobodi.
Godine 1928. hrvatski skladatelj Jakov Gotovac (1895. - 1982.),
iju 120. obljetnicu roenja obiljeavamo ove godine, sklada scensku glazbu
za ovu pastoralu u Hrvatskome narodnom kazalitu u Zagrebu. Nema
toga blaga na ovome svijetu ravnoga slobodi, poruuje dubrovaki bard, a
slavni skladatelj odgovara velianstvenom glazbenom tapiserijom u kojoj do
punog izraaja dolaze vjeni Gundulievi stihovi: O lijepa, o draga, o slatka
slobodo.
O narodnoj heroini iz Zagore, Mili iz roda Gojsalia, nema povijesnih
tragova, ali je njen lik snano prisutan u narodnoj predaji, kao i u hrvatskoj
umjetnosti. Milu Gojsalia opjevao je hrvatski pjesnik August enoa, njezin
lik isklesao je veliki hrvatski kipar Ivan Metrovi (i danas stoji na litici iznad
ua rijeke Cetine u Jadransko more kod Omia), a Jakov Gotovac
posvetio joj je 1951. povijesnu glazbenu dramu snane izraajnosti. Epska
pria o poljikoj kneginji koja vlastitim ivotom spaava svoj narod od
Turaka, zahtijevala je od skladatelja snaan glazbeni odgovor, s arijom glavne

junakinje - Odom zemlji, u kojoj glavna junakinja izraava snanu dramu

pojedinca spremnog rtvovati sebe za svoj narod i domovinu:
O zemljo naa, ljubljena i draga, u tekoj borbi zavoljena arko.
Iz Moslavine u sredinjoj Hrvatskoj stie narodni napjev Lijepo pjeva za
lugom djevojka u kolopletu enskih i mukih glasova to veliaju ensku
ljepotu. Lijepo pjeva za lugom djevojka, lijepo pjeva, daleko se uje.
A mladii Ivo i Nikola ne mogu se dogovoriti ija je ona: Ivo veli: Moja je
djevojka! A Nikola: Nije, nego moja! Bogata je i raskona hrvatska folklorna
batina, a ovaj prekrasni napjev samo je jedan biser iz te nepresune narodne
riznice.
Antologijski Oprotaj iz 1914. hrvatski pjesnik Tin Ujevi
(1891. - 1955.) pie u ast oca hrvatske knjievnosti Marka
Marulia (1450. - 1524.), simulirajui Marulievu akavtinu i
ortografiju 16. stoljea. Ovim pjesnikim postupkom mladi pjesnik pokazuje
odnos nove generacije kojoj pripada, prema batini iz koje izrasta. Ujevi
potuje staroga klasika, ali istodobno jasno poruuje kako njegova mlada
laa mora krenuti vlastitim putem: Korugva nam uhta; gremo mi
puntari!.
Na najveem otoku gornjega Jadrana, na Krku, najpopularniji je ples tanac
koji se plee uz svirku dviju svirala - sopela. Ovaj narodni ples u trodijelnom
ritmu izvodi se u svim sveanim prigodama, u svatovima i o karnevalu, na
trgu i u kui. Capo di ballo, plesa koji zapoinje ovaj elegantni ples, poziva na
poetku svirae da zasope tanac, ali uz vanu napomenu: Ma da bude lip.
Domoljubnu ansonu Ljubim te do bola skladao je hrvatski skladatelj i
teatrolog Dalibor Paulik (1953. - 2012.) na tekst pjesnika Jake
Fiamenga. Fiamengovim u jednostavnosti produbljenim domoljubnim
stihovima, skladatelj je podario plemenitu glazbenu pratnju i izraajni
pripjev: Uvijek si mi ista, dragulj s bezbroj boja, plemenita, ista, domovina
moja. Pjesma je po prvi puta zaivjela u ozraju stvaranja Republike
Hrvatske u jedinstvenoj izvedbi hrvatske vokalne dive Radojke verko.
Komina opera Ero s onoga svijeta bez sumnje je najslavnije ostvarenje
Jakova Gotovca, a nadahnuta glazba iz 1935. godine zaivjela je ne
samo na svim hrvatskim, ve i na vie od stotinu opernih pozornica diljem

svijeta, dok je libreto preveden na desetak svjetskih jezika. Glazbeni kolorit,

bujna orkestracija, ivahni ritmovi, pjevne vokalne linije glavne su odlike
ovoga opernog remekdjela, nastalog u uskoj vezi s vrsnim libretom Milana
Begovia. Ero je Gotoveva operna posveta ovjeku iz naroda, a efektni finale
- pjesma i zavrno kolo to na nebu sja visoko - iva je, sveana i snana oda
zemlji i pukome nainu ivota.
I nakon Gotoveva sveanog finala, vrijeme je za pogled u budunost. A koji
je bolji nain od onog koji nam poruuju jazz saksofonist i skladatelj
Igor Gerina i lanovi Zbora Izvor u pjesmi Dream for the future iz
2014. godine. Poruka pjesme poruka je novog optimizma i vjere u bolje sutra
koja na najbolji nain zakljuuje ovu sveanu inauguraciju.

A unique monument to the Croatian national anthem is placed at the entry

into Kumrovac Municipality in Hrvatsko zagorje, surrounded by the ruins
of the ancient Cesergrad and the chapel of the Mother of God. Legend has it
that the Croatian writer and politician Antun Mihanovi
(1796 - 1861) wrote the verses of what was to become the Croatian national
anthem in this picturesque place, surrounded by hills and valleys of the River
Sutla. These were published in 1835. In the lyrics which were put to music in
1848 by Josip Runjanin, Mihanovi sings about the beauty of the homeland.
The song fast became popular patriotic tune and the symbol of national pride
of any Croat who loves his country, for as long as his heart beats.
The tune Dej mi Boe takes us to the north of Croatia, to the region of
Meimurje. An anonymous poet prays for the good sight of a falcon and
strong wings of a swan, to fly across the seas and be united with his beloved.
You are the core of my heart, like the kernel of a red apple, is the touching
message of this typical tune of the Meimurje region, which has strength and
a timeless quality.
In the south of Croatia, in Dubrovnik, the baroque poet and dramatist
Ivan Gunduli (1589 - 1638) wrote a pastorale Dubravka, which ends
is the Ode to Freedom, in 1630s. In 1928 the Croatian composer
Jakov Gotovac (1895 - 1982) composed the music for this pastorale,
which was performed at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. No
treasure compares to freedom, is the message of the bard of Dubrovnik, and
the famous composer responded with a magnificent music tapestry which
celebrates the verses written by Gunduli: Oh, pretty, oh dear, oh sweet
freedom.
There is no historical evidence of the popular heroine of the Zagora area,
Mila of the Gojsali family. She is, however, present in the popular tradition
and in the Croatian art. A poet wrote about Mila Gojsalia (August enoa),
she was sculpted by the greatest sculptor (Ivan Metrovi), the statue is on
the cliff over the estuary of the River Cetina in to the Adriatic, near the town
of Omi. Jakov Gotovac dedicated a musical historical drama to her
memory in 1951. A woman of noble birth sacrificed her life in order to save
her people from the Turks. The composer gives her the tune Ode to Land
to express the drama of an individual prepared to sacrifice own life for the
people and the land.

PROGRAM
OF THE INAUGURATION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
KOLINDA GRABAR-KITAROVI

The melody of Lijepo pjeva za lugom djevojka is from Moslavina in central

Croatia. Male and female voices unite in the praise of the feminine beauty.
Two young lads Ivo and Nikola are in a dispute over a girl. This tune is yet
another pearl from the treasury of Croatian folk art.
The poem Oprotaj from 1914 was written by Tin Ujevi (1891 - 1955)
in honour of the father of Croatian literature Marko Maruli
(1450 - 1524). He tried to replicate the language of the 16th century. The
then young poet indicated the attitude of the new generation he belonged to,
towards the heritage he rose from. Ujevi pays his respect to the old classic,
but sends a clear message that his young nave has to go its own way: Our
flag is high on the mast, and we, rebels, depart!.
The Island of Krk is the largest island in the northern Adriatic, the most
popular folk dance of the island is tanac, danced to the music of two
traditional woodwind instruments - sopele. This folk dance is performed on
all occasions: weddings, carnival, and alike, both in the open and in homes.
The leading dancer begins the elegant dance and invites the musicians to
accompany it, in order to make it beautiful.
The patriotic song The Pain of Love was composed by Dalibor Paulik
(1953 - 2012). The lyrics are by Jaka Fiamengo. The simple patriotic
verses are accompanied by the music and a tune: You are always the same, a
jewel of all colours, noble, pure, my homeland. The song was first performed
by Radojka verko at the time the Republic of Croatia was established.
Ero s onoga svijeta, a comical opera, is the most famous work of
Jakov Gotovac, and the inspired music of 1935 is alive not only on the
Croatian but on over one hundred stages in the world. The libretto has been
translated into more than ten languages. The lively music and catchy tunes are
the main features of this operatic masterpiece. The libretto is by Milan Begovi.
This is a dedication to a man of the people, and it ends in the grand finale: a
wheel dance dedicated to the land and the beauty of pastoral life.
After this grand finale, it is time to look to the future. There is no better way
than the Dream for the future of 2014. It is performed by the jazz saxophonist
and composer Igor Gerina and the Izvor Choir. The message is
the one of new optimism and the faith in the better tomorrow, which thus
concludes this inaugural ceremony.
