Abstract

In awakening compatriots to its cause, the Slovenian national movement has throughout recent centuries made much use of music, especially choral music. Singing spread enthusiasm and attracted participants, as well as lessening discord among various opposing groups. In times of persecution of the Slovenes, especially under Fascism and Nazism, it was the main form of mass resistance. Music also contributed towards the relaxation of totalitarianism and the democratization of Slovenian society.
