Episkop Sava Vuković i srpsko crkveno pojanje

Abstract

Ovaj rad je zasnovan na autorovim sećanjima na episkopa Savu Vukovića, u svoje vreme jednog od najvećih znalaca srpskog crkvenog pojanja i vodećeg pregaoca u Srpskoj pravoslavnoj crkvi na polju njegovog očuvanja. Iznose se poznati i nepoznati momenti iz biografije episkopa Save koji se tiču ovog aspekta njegove ličnosti: njegovi prvi dodiri sa pojanjem; kako ga je i od koga učio, te načina na koji ga je interpretirao i predavao; kako je sve radio na njegovom čuvanju; kako je izgradio svoj muzički ukus i liturgijsku kulturu; kako je video odnos pojanja i bogosluženja, te tradicionalnih metoda učenja po sluhu i učenja iz notnih zbornika; kako je koristio nove tehničke mogućnosti za popularisanje pojanja; kako je gledao na probleme koji se javljaju u percepciji srpskog crkvenog pojanja u novije vreme. Iznose se i mnoga sećanja samog episkopa Save na druge znamenite pojce, kao i njegova saznanja i stavovi u vezi sa istorijom srpskog crkvenog pojanja, naročito ulogom koji je u njegovom razvoju imala Karlovačka mitropolija.

The paper also presents many memories of bishop Sava himself on the other famous chanters, as well as his knowledge and his standpoints regarding the history of Serbian church chanting, particularly regarding the role of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci in its development.
