AN ADAMIÈ (1912–1995)
Bojan Adamiè and (Wind) Music of the Time
Summary
A person that was born in 1912, two years before the outbreak of World War I, and died in
1995, five years before the end of the 20th century, certainly lived in troubled times —
troubled also for music. World War I that passed him by when he was a child was followed
by difficult years of political and economic turmoil in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Bojan
Adamiè lived through the Second World War at the peak of his creative powers. In 1941,
he completed his musical studies in Ljubljana, but it was not until the formation of the new
Yugoslavia that he was given more opportunity and recognition for his rich musical
activity. In 1995, soon after Slovenia had become an independent country for the first time
in history, Adamiè died. The article describes the position of wind instruments and
ensembles on the Central European music scene after 1945 — just when Bojan Adamiè’s
first seminal works appeared.4
