O KOMPOZITORIMA

Samir Fejzić (Sarajevo, 1966.), bh. kompozitor i jazz-pijanist. Diplomirao je na Muzičkoj akademiji u Sarajevu, predaje u SMŠ Sarajevo, a snimio je i izdao pet CD albuma sa autorskim kompozicijama. Valcer Sjetni princ je kompozicija nadahnuta pričom o bosanskom kraljevstvu i srednjovjekovnom gradu Bobovcu. Nakon razloženih akorada, slijedi sjetni valcer pun tuge i boli, melodije protkane bogatim harmonijama, koje snažno dočaravaju posljednji pogled na grad Bobovac. Virtuzno djelo Balkan Madness spaja Istok i Zapad, balkanske ritmove i melose sa jazz standardima. Milan Prebanda (Šibenik, 1907. – Sarajevo, 1979.), bh. kompozitor hrvatskog porijekla. Diplomirao je solo pjevanje na Muzičkoj akademiji u Zagrebu, a kompoziciju poha�ao kod Franje Dugana. U njegovom stvaralačkom opusu, najznačajnije mjesto zauzimaju solo pjesme. Od 1940. pa sve do smrti, djelovao je kao muzički umjetnik i pedagog u niz gradova BiH. U djelu Četiri minijature za klavir na način bosanskog i dalmatinskog folklora, kompozitor prenosi folklorni tonski jezik bosanskog, ali i rodnog dalmatinskog podneblja u vlastiti muzički stil, koji iz pojedinačnog zvuka folklora stvara cjelinu kompozicije. Vlado Milošević (Banja Luka, 1901. – Banja Luka, 1990.), bh. kompozitor koji u svom stvaralačkom opusu obimno koristi folklorni materijal. Napisao je preko 500 kompozicija koje predstavljaju sve muzičke žanrove osim baleta. Kompozitor je i prve opere u BiH, Jazavac pred sudom. Fantastične Tri burleske, komponovane 1943. godine, programskog su sadržaja: I (burleska) Dva dječaka zadirkuju jedan drugog gurkajući se, II (humoreska) Dva penzionera šetuckaju s noge na nogu, spominjući, stara dobra vremena, III (groteska) Dvije žene se sva�aju. Vojin Komadina (Karlovac, 1933. – Beograd, 1997.), bh. kompozitor izuzetnog stvaralačkog opusa, dugogodišnji profesor kompozicije na Muzičkoj akademiji u Sarajevu i prvi dekan Muzičke akademije Univerziteta u Istočnom Sarajevu. U njegovim djelima primjetno je prisustvo folklora i otvorenost prema savremenim i modernim stilsko-estetskim odrednicama. Refrain IV – Nijemo glamočko kolo (1975.) u kojem su folklorni elementi protkani s najsavremenijim kompozitorskim tehnikama, posvećeno je doajenu hrvatskog pijanizma Vladimiru Krpanu. Milan Jeličanin (Dobrljin, 1935. – Sarajevo, 1999.), bh. kompozitor i dirigent. Nakon završene Muzičke škole „Stanković“ u Beogradu, 1970. godine završava studij kompozicije na Muzičkoj akademiji u Sarajevu, na kojoj je izabran na mjesto profesora. Vodio je horove KUD-ova s kojima je nastupao diljem svijeta. Dvije tokate za klavir nastale su 1963. godine u Sarajevu i predstavljaju virtuozna djela, u kojima se prepliću repetirani tonovi sa teškim akordima in modo rustico, nadahnuti folklornim motivima ruralne BiH. Asim Horozić (Tuzla, 1958.), bh. kompozitor čija su mnogobrojna djela izvedena diljem svijeta. Diplomirao je kompoziciju na Muzičkoj akademiji u Sarajevu i nadaleko je poznat kao kompozitor opera Hasanaginica, Aska i Vuk i Zmaj od Bosne. Rijetko izvo�ena Sonata za klavir nastala je 1980. godine, a praizvela ju je prof. Nedžmija Omerćehajić. Odiše mladalačkom poletnošću i razigranošću,

ne bježeći od klasične forme. Kompozitor se odlučio da tri stavka sonate formom čine jednu klavirsku sonatu koja sadrži sonatni stav, trodijelnu pjesmu i na kraju rondo u koji je fantastično protkana istarska ljestvica.

Josip Magdić (Ogulin, 1937.), bh. kompozitor hrvatskog porijekla. Magistrirao je kompoziciju u Ljubljani, a na poziv Miroslava Špilera 1970. godine, njegova radna i životna sredina postaje Sarajevo, gdje je bio dugogodišnji profesor na Muzičkoj akademiji. U opusu od preko 150 djela, prošao je kroz različite stvaralačke faze, a istakao se i na području avangarde. Kompozicija za klavir Bentbaša je stvorena na osnovi jednog od najljepših bh. melopoetskih starovaroških bisera. Djelo je posvetio svojoj kćerci Ivani, a sredinom 1992. godine praizvela ju je Esma Pašić u okviru ciklusa Ratnih matineja. David Mastikosa (Prijedor, 1992.), bh. kompozitor i asistent na Akademiji umjetnosti Univerziteta u Banja Luci. U njegovom stvaralačkom opusu značajno mjesto zauzima elektroakustička muzika i aleatorika, a kompozicije su mu izvedene na mnogim festivalima u BiH i svijetu. Autor je muzike za dokumentarni film „Sarajevo 1914“. Kompozicija iRitual za klavir i čovjeka je inspirirana poezijom Mehmedalije Maka Dizdara i muzikom Vlade Miloševića. Kao gradivni element korišten je akord iz Miloševićeve XIV bosanske elegije Iz dumača i šuma modrih. Ova kompozicija svojevrstan je hommage Bosni, hladnoj i gladnoj, prkosnoj od sna. Dražan Kosorić (Sokolac, 1976.), dekan Muzičke akademije Univerziteta u Istočnom Sarajevu, bh. kompozitor simfonijske, kamerne, instrumentalne i vokalno-instrumentalne muzike. Diplomirao je harmoniku i kompoziciju na Državnoj muzičkoj akademiji „A.V. Neždanova“ u Odesi (Ukrajina). Magistrirao je multidisciplinarne studije i kompoziciju na Muzičkoj akademiji Univerziteta u Istočnom Sarajevu. Njegova djela, nagra�ena na brojnim me�unarodnim konkursima, izvo�ena su diljem svijeta i izdana u izdanjima Muzičke akademije Univerziteta u Istočnom Sarajevu i njemačke edicije Avantus iz Freidberga. Osnivač je i umjetnički rukovodilac Orkestra harmonika Muzičke akademije Univerziteta u Istočnom Sarajevu. Virtuozne Etide za klavir predstavljaju briljantno ostvarenje savremene kompozicijske tehnike. Različiti motivi se ponavljaju u različitim oblicima, tvoreći jedan savršeni perpetuum mobile. Armen Škobalj (Zenica, 1980.), bh. kompozitor. Diplomirao je na Muzičkoj akademiji u Sarajevu. U komponovanju slijedi postulate klasičnog komponovanja sa elementima romantizma i jazz-a. Autor je prve Mozartove biografije na bh. jeziku „W. A. Mozart – Izme�u stvarnosti i legende“. Njemačka izdavačka kuća Kirstner & Siegel objavila je niz njegovih djela. Valcer The First Rain nadahnut je pričom o bosanskom kraljevstvu. U zanosnoj melodiji kompozitor prikazuje prve kapi kiše. Valcer At the Night je kompozicija neoromantičnog karaktera. Prvi dio oslikava noćni mir, koji se u kontrastnom dijelu remeti i mijenja tok kompozicije. U kompoziciji Fantasia in Jazz, nakon širokog melodioznog prvog dijela lepršavi drugi dio donosi niz sekvenciranih jazz skala, stvarajući sasvim novi ugo�aj.

In his work Four Miniatures for the Piano in the Manner of Bosnian and Dalmatian Folklore, the composer conveys the language of tones both from the Bosnian and his native Dalmatian region into in his own musical style, which creates the composition as a whole from a particular sound of folklore.

The rarely performed Piano Sonata had been created in 1980, and it was performed for the first time by professor Nedžmija Omerćehajić. It is full of youthful and vitality and playfulness, yet not evading the classical form. The composer decided that the three movements sonata together make a piano sonata, consisting of a sonata form, a ternary form and a rondo at the end, fantastically permeated with the Istrian scale.
