author of poetry – Tone Pavček
auhtor of music – Tomaž Grom
The "Sonce in
sončice po vsem svetu" concert is a performance of the eponymous CD, which
was released by Zavod Sploh in cooperation with Mladinska knjiga in late 2007
with 45,000 copies. The concert included six musical arrangements to the works
of Tone Pavček in Slovenian and seven corresponding translations into foreign
languages (Japanese, Romanian, Albanian, Macedonian, Danish, Russian, Arabic),
performed by Slovene and foreign-language performers accompanied by percussion,
brass, double bass and other sounds.
The underlying theme or main thread of the Sonce in sončice
collection of children's poems are family members and significant others
who are closest to every little person (my little sunshine ali our
little sunshines):
So we, the dear grandchildren
in one voice decided
that, for us, our grandfather is
the best Grandfather Frost.
In addition to the
well-known theme of children's relatives, the collection is distinguished by a
rich imagination and linguistic perfection. As a result, Tomaž Grom decided to
coat the sonority and vibrancy of Pavček's verses with music. Nevertheless, the
originality of the concert is certainly helped by the resulting translations
into foreign languages.
