Kosta P. Manojlović and the Teaching of Liturgical Singing
Сажетак
The aims of this paper are to provide new insight into Kosta Manojlović’s teaching of liturgical singing, and to interpret the ways in which his work in this field was affected by the historical, social, and cultural milieu of the interwar period in Serbia and Yugoslavia. The first part of the study deals with “facts and figures”, mostly from archival data, about Manojlović’s teaching career at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology between 1923 and 1937: dates, subjects, scarce data on teaching methods, his rise through the hierarchy, organizational issues, etc., while the second part considers the influence of historical, cultural, and social circumstances on his approach to teaching, syllabi, and Serbian church music in general, based on the study of his writings on Serbian medieval music.
