Antička Salona, colonia Martia Iulia Salona, glavni grad rimske provincije Dalmacije, nastala je uz ušće rijeke Jadro i zaštićeni morski zaljev u podnožju Koz-jaka. Tu su prije dolaska Italika i Rimljana obitavali domaći delmatski žitelji i grčki trgovci.

O veličini, blagostanju i raskoši antičkoga velegrada svjedoče impozantne zidine s kulama i vratima, forum s hramovima, kazalište, upraviteljeva palača, amfiteatar, te jedinstveni spomenici biskupovog sjedišta i ranokršćanske crkve na gro-bljima gdje su pokopani saloni-tanski mučenici (Manastirine, Kapljuč, Marusinac).

Nakon seobe naroda na dijelu srušene i napuštene Salone nastanili su se Hrvati. Na Gospinu otoku i uz rukavce Jadra hrvatski će vladari podig-nuti nove crkvene građevine i stvoriti središte hrvatskoga Solina.

Bogata kulturna baština

The ancient Salona, Colonia Martia Iulia Salona, as its full name was, the capitol of the Roman province of Dalmatia, was founded at the mouth of the river Jadro and in the sheltered sea bay, at the foot of the moun-tain Kozjak. Before the arrival of the Italics and the Romans, the area had been inhabited by local Delmats and Greek merchants.

The size, wealth and mag-nificence of this Roman city are testified by its impressive walls with towers and gates, the forum with temples, the theatre, the governor’s palace, the amphi-theatre, as well as the unique bishop’s seat and early Christian churches at the graveyards where the Salonitan martyrs were buried (Manastirine, Kapljuč, Marusinac).

Following the Great Migration, a part of the ruined and aban-doned Salona was inhabited by the Croats. At Gospin Otok and by the Jadro river branches, the Croatian rulers will erect new churches and create the core of the Croatian Solin.

Vokalisti Salone

Hrvatsko pjevačko društvo Vokalisti Salone iz Solina ove godine obilježavaju 40 godina postojanja. Nakon povratka iz Brazila 27.06.2014., gdje su predstavljali Republiku Hrvatsku na “Hrvatskim danima u Brazilu” u sklopu Svjetskog nogometnog prvenstva, primili su od Hrvatske Gazbene Unije tri Porina, nagrade za najveća glazbena dostignuća u Republici Hrvatskoj.Kao jedinstvena pjevačka skupina ovaj ansambl njeguje bašćinske muzikološke korijene i posebnosti mediteranskog pod-neblja, te spašava od zaborava niz dragocjenih pučkih napjeva i crkvenih popijevki. Koncertni program ”Vokalista” obuhvaća, dakako, i kompozicije suvre-menih skladatelja duhovnog i svjetovnog karaktera skladane

na autohtonim melosnim kori-jenima i tradiciji iz gotovo svih razdoblja htijući slušateljima, osim pomno izabranog pro-grama ponuditi i jedan povijesno edukativni put tijekom koncerta.Kroz cijelo vrijeme djelovanja Vokalisti Salone su nastojali, a vjerujemo da su i uspijeli, sačuvati autohtono baščinsko nasljeđe kao i zadati pravce u vokalnom izražaju glazbene tematike kojom se bave. Sukladno tome Vokalisti Salone pomno su birali pjevače. Težnja ka perfekcionizmu u ovaj su sastav pretočili mnogi priznati stručnjaci i umjetnički voditelji: Duško Tambača, pok. Petar Cvitanović, prof.dr. sc. Nikola Buble, Ivo Lipanović, Grgo Grubišić, Vladan Vuletin,

Mojmir Čačija, mr. Blaženko Juračić. Sastavom je najdulje ravnao (ukupno 23 godine) pok. maestro Ljubo Stipišić Delmata. Sadašnji umjetnički voditelj je prof. Mirko Jankov. Vokalisti Salone su tijekom svojih gostovanja nastupali u najpriznatijim koncertnim dvor-anama u zemlji i svijetu, osva-jali brojne nagrade i priznanja počevši od Festivala dalmatin-skih klapa u Omišu, Večerima dalmatinske pisme u Kaštelima, Večerima sakralne glazbe u Sinju, preko natjecanja na bro-jnim međunarodnim festivalima u Zagrebu, Veroni, Barceloni dva puta, Parizu dva puta, Americi i Kanadi dva puta, zemljama Skandinavije, Španjolska, Slo-venija, Crna Gora, Italija, Austrija,

Njemačka, Francuska, Mađarska, Belgija sa kojih su se redovito vraćali sa najsjajnijim odličjima (prve nagrade na natjecanjima klapa u Omišu, Večerima dal-matinske klape-Kaštela, prva nagrada na međunarodnom natjecanju u Veroni, srebrna plaketa na međunarodnom natjecanju u kategoriji zborova u Barceloni i Zagrebu, srebrene plakete u Sinju). Dobitnici su nagrade Grada Solina. Vokalisti Salone predstavljaju nepri-jepornu vrijednost, te u tom smislu predstavljaju Grad Solin i Republiku Hrvatsku.

This year Croatian Choral Society Vokalisti Salone from Solin celebrate 40 years of its existence. After having returned from Bra-zil on 27th June, where they pre-sented Croatia at the “Croatian days in Brazil”, as a part of the World Cup, they received three Porins, by the Croatian Musical Union, awards for the greatest musical achievements.As a unique singing klapa, the ensemble nurtures heritage musicological roots and spe-cialities of the Mediterranean climate, saves from oblivion a series of valuable folk songs and religious songs. The concert pro-gram of Vokalisti includes, not only compositions by contempo-rary composers of the spiritual and the secular nature of the indigenous composed melodic

roots and tradition of almost all periods, but also, a carefully selected program with historical and educational time during the show.

Throughout the entire period of performing, Vokalisti Salone have been trying to preserve, and we believe they succeeded in preserving indigenous heri-tage, as well as, giving directions in vocal expression of musical themes, they deal with.

Accordingly, Vokalisti Salone have carefully chosen their singers. Striving towards per-fection, many renowned ex-perts and artistic leaders like Duško Tambača, the late Peter Cvitanović, Ph.D. Sc. Nikola Bu-ble, Ivo Lipanović, Grgo Grubišić, Vladan Vuletin, Mojimir Čačija

and mr. Blaženko Juračić worked with them. Ljubo Stipišić Delma-ta was conducting Vocalists for 23 years. Their current artistic director is prof. Mirko Jankov. Vokalisti during their perform-ing period played in most acknowledged concert halls in the country and the world, have won numerous awards and ac-knowledgements, starting from Dalmatian klapa singing Festival in Omiš, Evenings of Dalmatian songs in Kaštela, Evening of Sacred Music in Sinj, competi-tions at numerous international festivals in Zagreb, in Verona, in Barcelona twice, in Paris twice, in America and Canada twice, in Scandinavian countries, in Spain, in Slovenia, in Montenegro, in Italy, in Austria, in Germany, in France, in Hungary, in Belgium.They kept returning from them

with prestigious awards (e.g. first prize at klapa festival in Omiš, Evenings of Dalmatian klapa-Kaštela, first prize at the Inter-national Competition in Verona, silver medal at the international competition in the category of choirs in Barcelona and Zagreb, silver plaques in Sinj).

Prva pisma klape Tamarin je „Perivoju cviće moje“, a prvi put su zapivale prid svojom publikom 1992. godine. Imale su i straha, jer domaća publika notaje i najmanje grešake. A neka, na greškama se čovik uči! Iste godine za maestra u klapu dolazi glazbenik prof. Grgo Grubišić. Prvi put nastupaju na 26. festivalu dalmatinskih klapa u Omišu /večer ženskih klapa/. Godine 1996. glazbeno vodstvo nad klapom preuzima mlada omiška, danas poznata operna pjevačica prof. Terezija Kusano-vić. Rade uobičajeno - dva puta tjedno i kreću na predstavljanje izvan solinsko-splitskog područ-ja: Filip Jakov, Makarska, Šibenik, Zagreb, Varaždin. Petu obljetnicu slave samostalnim koncertom u svome Vranjicu. Gostovanjem u Sloveniji 2000. godine, započe-

lo je razdoblje međunarodnog predstavljanja Tamarinki, a 2001. godine gostuju u Frankfurtu gdje su imale niz koncerata. Najzapaženiji je humanitarni koncert u katedrali na misi za Hrvate, gdje se prikupljao novac za obnovu vukovarske bolnice.U listopadu 2001. godine, za glazbeno-umjetničkog voditelja klape Tamarin dolazi gosp. Duš-ko Tambača.Tamarinke izdaju dva CD - „U ovome mistu“ s dalmatinskim narodnim pjesmama i drugi „Majko ljubezniva“ sakralnog karaktera.2003. godine odlaze na natjeca-nje u Veronu, te se kući vraćaju obasjane zlatom.Stari prijatelj Špiro Jurić se ne zaboravlja, te započinje zajed-nička suradnja. Kao mješovita klapa Tamarin nastupa u Opuze-

13

nu u okviru “Omiškog festivala”, te tri godine zaredom osvajaju odličja. Takva vokalna kombina-cija u tisku nazvana je „Povijesni nastup ženske klape s muškim tenorom“.Godine 2005. Grad Solin do-djelio je Tamarinkama nagradu grada u kategoriji kolektivnih nagrada povodom 15. obljetnice predanog rada i očuvanja narod-ne baštine. Na poziv hrvatskog veleposlanstva u Španjolskoj, Tamarinke odlaze u Barcelonu, Madrid i Valadolid, gdje pred-stavljaju dalmatinsku klapsku pjesmu na petodnevnoj turneji. 2006. godina je u znaku najdra-žih im gostovanja: „Solin Zagre-bu“ u Lisinskom i 18. studenoga obljetnica u Vukovaru.Glazbeni voditelj Tamarina prof. Milivoj Rilov došao je 2007. godine. Slijede godine kada bi-

lježe nagrade i u međunarodnoj konkurenciji.2008. i 2009. godine u Perastu osvajaju prve nagrade. Odlaze i na natjecanje zborova sa ad-ventskim i božičnim napjevima u Prag donoseći kući zlata, da bi 2010. godine u rujnu krenu-le u Den Hag-Nizozemska i u konkurenciji zborova osvajaju srebro. Iste godine u suradnji sa Maticom iseljenika Hrvat-ske-podružnica Split, odlaze na nezaboravnu turneju u Make-doniju. Tijekom 2011. godine slijedi niz sudjelovanja na mnogim kulturnim događanjima. Svoju 20. obljetnicu obilježile su samostalnim koncertom u Solinu u hotelu „President“ gdje su prijateljima, obitelji i mno-gim ljubiteljima klapske pjesme pružile nezaboravan doživljaj ženskog klapskog pjevanja.

Their first song was “Perivoju cviće moje.” For the first time they sang in front of the local audience in 1992. That same year, their maestro was Grgo Grubišić. Their first performance was in Festival of Dalmatian songs in Omiš, in the evening of female klapas.In 1996 their artistic leader was Tereza Kusanović, today a famous opera singer. They per-formed in Filip Jakov, Makarska, Šibenik, Zagreb, Varaždin.They celebrated their fifth anniversary in the concert in Vranjic. In Slovenia in 2000, began a period of international represen-tation of klapa Tamarin. In 2001 they performed in Frankfurt, where they had a series of con-certs and the most remarkable one was the charity concert at the Cathedral where they col-

lected money for the restoration of the Vukovar hospital. In October of 2001 Mr. Duško Tambača became the musical-artistic leader of their vocal group. Tamarin released two CDs – “U ovome mistu“ with Dalmatian folk songs and ”Majko ljubezni-va“ with sacred songs. In 2003 Tamarin won the international competition in Verona (Italy) among 10 acap-pella singers and won the gold medal. In that same year, they won in Opuzen (the first prize of the jury and the audience), in “Omiš Festival” they performed with their founder, Špiro Jurić. This combination was to many music theorists impossible, but through the efforts of the singers and their arrangements of their maestro Tambača, the

16

impossible was achieved. That was the “historical perfor-mance of female singing with the male tenor”.In 2005 for their many years of work, success, uniqueness of musical expression and inten-tion to preserve the traditions and heritage of our region, they received the award of the town of Solin. At the invitation of the Croatian Embassy in Spain , ”Tamarin” went to Barcelona, Madrid and Valadolid where they presented Dalmatian folk songs on a five-day tour.In 2006 they had their favorite performances “Solin to Zagreb” in Vatroslav Lisinski and on 18th November, on the anniversary of Vukovar.

Tamarin won a lot of awards in the international competitions. In 2008 and the 2009 they won the first prize in Perast. They performed in Choir Competi-tion in Prague, with Advent and Christmas carols, and brought home gold.
