It is a string instrument related to the mandolin of Italy, the bandura of the Ukraine and the balalaika of Russia. The name derives from Turkish. It is first documented in the 14th century, and is said to have first entered Bosnia before being introduced to Slavonia and Bačka. The first major composer for the tamburitza was Pajo Kolarić, who formed the first amateur tamburitza orchestra in Osijek in 1847. Kolarić's student, Mijo Majer, formed the first tamburitzan choir led by a conductor, the "Hrvatska Lira" in 1882. These orchestras soon spread to what is now Bosnia, Austria, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Croatian composers for the tamburitza include Sinia Leopold and Julije Njiko. The instrument has long been a symbol of the Croatian identity, and is associated with nationalism. The first Croat to study his people's folk music was Franjo Saver Kuhač. He was followed by Vinko ganec, an associate of Bela Bartok's, who collected more than 19,000 Croatian folk songs. http://www.answers.com/topic/tamburitza What's a Tamburitza? Tamburitzas (or "tamburas" in Croatian or Serbian) are a family of fretted, steel-stringed acoustic instruments frequently used in playing the music of several countries in . "Tamburica" is the diminutive of "tambura". "Tambura" originates from the Turkish word "tambur", which is a similarly styled stringed instrument. What's Tamburitza Music Like? The music of the tamburitza is equally at home at a country picnic, in a cafe, bar, nightclub, or concert hall, or as part of a church service. The styles of music played by the tamburitza include traditional folk tunes ("village music"), urban music from the early part of the 20th century ("old city music"), modern tunes written in the folk idiom, Western classical music, the music of Hollywood and Broadway, and pop music with the addictive rhythms and beats of Western rock and roll. A tamburitza typically has four to six steel strings differing in thickness and pitch. It is usually played using a celluloid pick but can also be played with the fingers. Strings can be struck once or with a tremolo technique to sustain tones. A tremolo is a series of very rapid up and down strokes of the pick played smoothly over a string. The tamburitza produces both sweet and mellow as well as loud piercin tones. Origins and Early History The name "tambura" may have originated from "tamburu", the Persian word for "string". Another possibility is the Buddhist god Tamburu. Who, according to Buddhist mythology, is the protector of music and musicians. Finally, some suggest that "tambura" may be derived from the Sumerian "pan-tur" meaning "small bow." From "pan-tur" came "pandura" and then "tambura." Because of its popularity among the Croatian people, the tamburitza is sometimes claimed to be the national instrument of Croatia. However, its origin was in Persia with the Assyrians over 5000 years ago. Ancient carvings from this era depict musicians playing lute-like instruments. Tamburitzas have a distant relationship with the 14th and 15th century Turkish long-neck lute called the "tanbur" and today's "tar", a 6-stringed round back lute with a skin resonator found throughout Central Asia, Azerbaijian, Iran, and Turkey. The tamburitza's first appearance in the Balkans was in Bosnia about 500 years ago. Following the Ottoman Turkish invasion, musicians introduced tamburitza-like instruments into this region. Historic documents and poetry clearly record the existence of the tamburitza in the 16th century. However, a much earlier pre-Ottoman presence in the Balkans is possible. The 922 annals of the Bulgarian embassy report descriptions of tambura players by an Arab diplomat. In addition, the following reference is found in a Greek report written in the 7th century A.D. by a chronicler named Theophylactus of Simocatta, who wrote of the wars the Byzantine Empire fought against the Slavs and Avars: In the year 591 A.D. the Byzantine King Mauricius was contesting the Roman Empire in Thrace. Here he captured three Slavs. To the astonishment of Mauricius, he found these Slavs unarmed, carrying with them only a cithara. With surprise he asked these Slavs who they were and what was that in their hands? They replied, 'We are Slavs and we live along the Western Seas (Adriatic). We play the cithara because in our country there is no iron and we live in peace. We do not know the meaning of war bugles. http://www.answers.com/topic/tamburitza What is a Tamburitza? Tamburitza is a word from the Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian language with a variety of meanings. Most literally, it is the affectionate diminutive of tambura, any one of a number of long-necked fretted string instruments derived from those brought to the Balkan peninsula by the Turks and their vassals - mainly Roma (Gypsies) - beginning in the 16th century. During the years of the Ottoman occupation, many subject communities adapted these instruments to their customs and cultures. Tambure are thus distant cousins of other European string instruments introduced from the Islamic world, including instruments as diverse as medieval lutes and modern Greek bouzoukis. In the Pannonian plains region - along the central Danube and its tributaries; the Sava, Drava and Tisa rivers - tamburasi (tambura musicians) began to form themselves into ensembles in the early 19th century. Although it is believed that Hungarian Roma were the first to play tamburitza instruments in ensembles, modeled on their famous violin ensembles, the first known ensemble is that of Pajo Kolaric, formed in the Slavonian (eastern Croatian) city of Osijek in 1847. KolaricÇ's ensemble of six urban tradesmen played a repertoire much like that known today: Croatian folk songs and kolo-s (circle dances), folk songs and dances from neighboring peoples, light classical songs and instrumental pieces, and popular music of the day. From Osijek, tamburitza ensembles spread quickly among the Germanized Slavic middle classes of the Croatian and Serbian provinces of Austria-Hungary. This was a time when the Croatian and Serbian bourgeoisie was "discovering their roots" in a large-scale pan-Slavic national awakening, and playing folk songs in amateur ensembles was an important expression of national identity. Tamburitza ensembles spread to neighboring Hungarians, and also in smaller numbers to Czechs, Slovaks, Ruthenians, and even some Germans. During the same era, orchestras of national folk string instruments began to be formed elsewhere as well, such as the mandolin orchestras of Italy and the balalaika orchestras of Russia. As always, Roma remained the principle professional players, and in the years after World War I, they revolutionized tamburitza music, establishing the style and technique still used by many players today. It was during the interwar years that tamburitza ensembles became firmly established in Croatian and Serbian village culture, although some rural groups - notably the Bunjevci of northern Backa - had had ensembles since the late 19th centuries. When massive immigration from eastern Europe to North America peaked in the years 1870-1910, tamburitza ensembles first made their appearance in the New World. The first known American ensemble was the Hoffer Family Tamburitza Orchestra, active in the Steelton (PA) area from the early 1890s. However, many Croatian and Serbian immigrants heard tamburitza music for the first time in America, especially if they were from rural areas where tamburitza was not yet known. Many learned the instruments from some of the early tamburitza teachers active in North America; one such was Ilar Spiletak, a native of Dubrovnik who founded various orchestras in San Francisco beginning in 1902. Thus tamburitza spread among American Slavs much as it had in the Old World; a few musicians actively taught and proselytized, spreading it to those who had never heard it before. By the 1920s, tamburitza was firmly established in American Slavic communities too. Modern tamburitza orchestras are composed of instruments that are fretted like guitars and arranged in the standard Sremski/Srijemski tuning system: the small lead prima or bisernica, the alto brac or basprim, the tenor celo, the chordal bugarija or kontra, and the large fretted bas or berde. It is not unusual to find other instruments in a tamburitza orchestra; violin and accordion are most common, but some modern groups also include electric instruments and drums! Tamburitza music has become central to the cultural and spiritual life of Croatian and Serbian Americans. It can be heard at church social halls, ski trips, golf tournaments, weddings, funerals, slava-s (saints day observances), and celebrations of all sorts. It is promoted by well-known national community organizations such as the Duquesne University Tamburitzans, the Tamburitza Association of America, the Croatian Fraternal Union, and of course, our own Slavonic Cultural Center. It is hence altogether correct to speak of a "tamburitza culture"; indeed, the Tamburitza Association of America bestows awards on its most respected members for efforts to promote and elevate "our tamburitza culture." "Tamburitza" thus refers to any or all of the following: 1) an instrumental ensemble composed of or including tambura instruments, 2) a style of music played by tambura instruments 3) the songs, dances, and instrumental pieces played on tambura instruments, and 4) the part played by tambura instruments in maintaining the musical and cultural traditions of Croatians and Serbians, their neighbors and their friends. http://www.slavonicweb.org/events/tamfest_hist.html sretno |
