Danijela v Celju|The subject of the article is the old music collection kept in the Abbot Church of St. Daniel's, Celje (Slovenia's third largest -and likewise prominent -town). The collection that has so far been unknown in scholarlyreference works ranks among the fairly voluminous collections to be found in the territory ofSlovenia: it consists of 189 bibliographical units, 170 of which are manuscripts and 19prints covering mostly the timeofthelatterhalfofthe 18th,andthefirsthalfofthe19thcentury.Itsoriginsare diverse. A portion ofthe collection originates from the Jesuit College ofGorizia, some of the compositions were left to the church by the musical society active in Celje in 1801-1807 and 1836-1846, whereas the greatest part of the written/printed music has been copied or procured for the use 0 f the church's choir. The collection's central figure as a copyist was the schoolmaster Benedikt Sluga, Carinthian by origin, who was active in Celje from at least 1777: nearly half the manuscripts have been written by his hand.In terms ofstyle, the collection corresponds to the time when it originated. It manifests some vague reflections of Baroque and some foretokensof early Romanticism but, on the whole, is dominated by Classicism in its different sta-ges with a number ofdistinguished composers ofthe time included. It is a characteri-stic of the collection that it leans on opera rather heavily, which, naturally, was no merit to church music but, nevertheless, seems to have been to the taste 0 f the town churchgoers. At anyrate, the collection reveals an interesting segment ofthe musical history ofthe town on the Savinja river, while at the same time enhancing the know-ledge of the musical life in the territory of Slovenia in the period of ClassicismTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
