Josip Vrhovski u cvjetnjaku međimurskih skladatelja

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je prikazati važnost, utjecaj i rad poznatog međimurskog skladatelja Josipa Vrhovskog. Posebno je važna povezanost njega s radom ostalih glazbenika iz Međimurja jer su svojim individualnim te originalnim radom, ali sličnim idejama, ambicijama i željom da ostave utisak, obogatili kulturu na nacionalnoj, ali i međunarodnoj razini. Ostavili su brojne vrijedne skladbe koje u sebi sadrže sažet duh vremena u kojem su nastale te time doprinijeli odgoju, podizanju kulturne svijesti i znanja o prošlim vremenima. Osim njihova umjetničkog rada neizostavan je naglasak na odgoju jer je većina međimurskih skladatelja davala veliku važnost pedagogiji i djeci. Takav je bio i Josip Vrhovski koji je upravo zbog svoje upornosti i originalnosti jedan od najvažnijih međimurskih skladatelja i pedagoga te će njegov život i rad biti u fokusu ovog diplomskog rada.The aim of this diploma thesis is to show the importance, influence and work of a well-known composer from the Međimurje County, Josip Vrhovski.
