This web site has been created by the Coordinating Committee for State Celebrations, the Protocol of the Republic of Slovenia and the Government Communication Office.

The year marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of Primož Trubar (1508–1586). The web site presents his life and work, and gives an outline of the major events of his time. The calendar lists events in Slovenia and abroad commemorating the anniversary. The list is regularly updated.

The material on this web site is taken mainly from a commemorative booklet published by the Coordinating Committee for State Celebrations. A full version of the booklet is available on this web site.

Production

This web site is produced and maintained by the Government Communication Office in collaboration with Agenda d.o.o. from Maribor.

Music

The web site also presents 16th century music. The piece you are listening to was kindly donated by Alta capella Carniola, who aim to revive the tradition of the professional musicians of Slovenia's mediaeval towns. Records show that In the 16th century Slovenia, professional musicians were financially supported mainly by regional assemblies, which at that time were predominantly protestant.

The anonymous piece entitled Tourdion performed by Alta capella Carniola would have been a typical dance tune of the 16th century.
