Sažetak
The Military Frontier was a defence area in Croatian and other Habsburg lands which bordered the Ottoman Empire from the sixteenth century to 1881. Military service was compulsory for every adult and able-bodied man between the ages of 16 (raised to 20 after 1850) and 60. The Illyirian movement established the commom Croatian literary language and literature, and initiated the first public newspapers in the Croatian language. The movement also inspired the founding of libraries, reading rooms and national societies so that during the Romantic era, in the spirit of European 'Zeitgeist', musical and other cultural activities in north-western Croatia prevalently served the Revival Movement, which gave its attention also to the Military Frontier. "As a rock in the midst of the sea / he fearlessly stands at guard, / neither rain nor snow disturbs him, / neither winds which waver the woods / he is getting warm by the fire of his heart". These were the verses by Franjo Turić from Gospić in July 1843 from his poem Graničari (The Frontier Men), published in the Illyrian newspaper Danica in November of the same year. There is no need to additionally point out its importance of the place and role of Illyirian occasional songs about the Military Frontier and other topics in the process of institutionalization of modern burgeois music and culture at large during the nineteenth century.
