Abstract

Republika Irska specifična je po tome što je jedina zemlja čiji je nacionalni simbol glazbeni instrument – harfa. Ona sačinjava irski kulturni identitet kroz vještinu sviranja, vještinu izrade instrumenata, melodije, simboličku vrijednost instrumenta, kao i vizualnu umjetnost, književnost i mitologiju. Tradicija sviranja harfe u Irskoj seže u daleku prošlost, od ranih galskih zajednica. Najstariji očuvani primjerak irske harfe, iz 15. stoljeća, Trinity College harfa, poslužila je kao sastavni dio grba Irske, ali i zaštitni znak Guinness pivovare. Kroz povijest je harfa evoluirala, njezina se uloga u društvu mijenjala, ali je uspješno očuvana do danas. Vrijednost irske harfe u kontekstu kulturnog identiteta Irske potvrđena je uvođenjem irskog sviranja harfe na UNESCO-v popis nematerijalne kulturne baštine. Značajnu poveznicu između Hrvatske i Irske u kontekstu irske harfe predstavlja kipar Ivan Meštrović koji je izradio skicu za kovanicu s motivom „Djevojke s harfom“.

Abstract (english)

The Republic of Ireland is unique in that it is the only country whose national symbol is a musical instrument – the harp. It forms an integral part of the Irish cultural identity through the skill of playing, the craft of instrument-making, melodies, the symbolic value of the instrument, as well as visual arts, literature, and mythology. The tradition of harp playing in Ireland dates back to ancient times, originating from early Gaelic communities. The oldest preserved example of an Irish harp, the Trinity College harp from the 15th century, has served as a key component of the Irish coat of arms and as a trademark of the Guinness Brewery. Throughout history, the harp has evolved, its role in society has changed, but it has been successfully preserved to this day. The value of the Irish harp in the context of Ireland's cultural identity has been affirmed by the inclusion of Irish harp playing on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. A significant connection between Croatia and Ireland in the context of the Irish harp is represented by the sculptor Ivan Meštrović, who created a coin design featuring the motif of "The Girl with the Harp."
