MUSIC AND SUSTAINABILITY: ŠKOFJA LOKA, A PASSION PLAY IN AN INTERRELIGIOUS CONTEXT

Abstract

The rudimentary beginnings of the Škofja Loka Passion Play (ŠLPP) can be found in Slovene Lenten songs. Each year’s procession of the ŠLPP, was seen on Good Friday or at the end of the time of fasting within the frame of the church calendar. The repertoire of Slovene folk and art songs is very rich, therefore it is not strange that the author, Father Romuald Štandreški,, a Capuchin, (1715–1721) was to be the author of the ŠLPP who would be familiar to the Slovene folk songs.
