Glasba in narodna zavest

In awakening compatriots to its cause, the Slovenian national movement has throughout recent centuries made much use of music, especially choral music. Singing spread enthusiasm and attracted participants, as well as lessening discord among various opposing groups. In times of persecution of the Slovenes, especially under Fascism and Nazism, it was the main form of mass resistance. Music also contributed towards the relaxation of totalitarianism and the democratization of Slovenian society.Slovensko narodno gibanje se je v osveščanju rojakov v veliki meri naslonilo na glasbo, zlasti zborovsko. Petje je navduševalo, pridobivalo, pa tudi brusilo ostrine različnih nasprotnikov. V času preganjanja Slovencev, zlasti pod fašizmom in nacizmom je bilo poglavitna oblika množičnega odpora. Glasba je mehčala tudi totalitarizem in prispevala k demokratizaciji slovenske družbe
