Marko Tajčević
Marko Tajčević (born January 29, 1900 in Osijek , † July 19, 1984 in Belgrade ) was a Yugoslav composer.
Life
He received his training in Zagreb with Fran Lhotka , Blagoje Bersa and Franjo Dugan , in Prague with Václav Štěpán and in Vienna with Joseph Marx . From 1950–1966 he taught as a professor of music theory and composition at the Belgrade Music Academy .
His musical expression was strongly connected to the South Slavic folklore, in a freer, modern style, he combined late romantic harmony with the sharpness of folk sounds. Tajčević worked for many years as a choirmaster, the sound of the choir fascinated him, and was one of the most sought-after lecturers for music theory and composition at the Belgrade University of Music in the period after the Second World War.
Tajčević was a master in the field of smaller musical forms. His main work in the field of piano music was the famous suite Seven Dances from the Balkans (1930), which was arranged for orchestra by the Austrian-Slovenian conductor Bogo Leskovic (1909-1995).
In addition, several song cycles were created.
