	Music of Croatia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of Croatia, like the country itself, has three major influences: the influence of the Mediterranean especially present in the coastal areas, of the Balkans especially in the mountainous, continental parts, and of central Europe in the central and northern parts of the country.
		The folk music of Zagorje, an area north of Zagreb, is known for polka and waltz music similar to the neighboring Slovenia and Austria.
		Croatian pop music is fairly often listened to in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro due to the union of Yugoslavia that existed until the 1990s.

	Haydn and folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is not because Haydn ever went to Croatia to learn this music; rather, he heard it from people living in Croatian ethnic enclaves, found in the eastern part of Austria near the border with Hungary.
		The "Haydn as Croatian" theory was originated by a Croatian ethnologist named Franjo Kuhač, and was propagated (for instance, in various editions of the prestigious Grove Dictionary) by the musicologist Henry Hadow.
		Weighing in on the opposite side of the "Haydn as Croatian" issue is one of Haydn's principal biographers, the musicologist Karl Geiringer.

		It is therefore not surprising that in the periodization of the history of Croatian music this period is called the era of Ivan Zajc and Franjo Kuhač.

		Folk music was the term for only those musical products (songs and dances in view of their sound organisation) that the Concord’s experts had legitimated as Croatian, peasant, old-time and local.
		Following Merriam, besides the sound aspect of music, attention was gradually being given to the concepts about music in a certain cultural environment, to the person who is making music, and to the uses and functions of music (see Merriam 1964:32, 210).
		Rather than at the traditional music, attention was aimed at the field of popular music because it was the central point of encounters, negotiation, conflict, reconciliation and resistance.

		Croatian folklore music has a long tradition and therefore is characterized through its near-to-the people character.
		With the development of the different Tamburica-groups more refined, poly-vocal compostions emerged - also from famous croatian componists - who contributed much to the perfection of musical pieces and the playing technique.
		All that, the characteristic sound of the instruments (and much more) are responsible for the charm, the attraction of this kind of music - on one hand the slight and simple near-to-the-people style, on the other hand an artistically perfected and still popular style of music in Croatia.
