Albe Vidaković

Albe Vidaković (1 October 1914 – 18 April 1964) was a Croatian composer, Catholic priest and musicologist, one of the most notable Croatian Classical and Church musicians and musicologists of the 20th century. As a longstanding regens chori of the Zagreb Cathedral and head of the Institute for Church Music, he composed a number of masses, motets and oratorios. Vidaković is most notable for his musicological works on Croatian composers of the 17th century and his collection of Croatian folk songs from Bačka and the Primorje regions. He was among the leaders of the Cecilian Movement in Croatia.

Due to his importance for Croatian Church music in the 20th century, the period of his activity is called the "Albe Vidaković's Period" (Croatian: Razdoblje Albe Vidakovića) in Croatian musicology.
