Abstract: The historical heritage is of priceless meaning for a certain milieu, population and society which constitutes this milieu and finally represents the wealth of every nation. First of all, the acquired heritage has to be recognized, truly valued, protected and presented in a successful way. This work brings a review on Slavonian traditional music, on the historical segment, but also the cultural identity of east Croatia. Traditional music certainly represents a significant form of historical legacy. In this context the role of authentic Slavonian folk music should be observed. This work will especially try to emphasize the compatibility of Slavonian traditional music with the classical music creation. The works’ goal is to present compositions of classical music composers, whose origin lies on the Slavonian traditional music elements. Under these compositions we mean vocal, vocalinstrumental, instrumental, chamber and orchestra compositions. This works’ subject will present specific pieces from the Croatian musical literature, but also compositions of foreign authors, who found their creation impulse in the Slavonian folk music expression. The basic methodological approach in working on the mentioned theme will imply the collecting of existing materials, composers and compositions listing and cataloguing. The mentioned approach will be performed by gathering materials through several sources: different legal subjects, whose activities are closely connected to the music-art field (like HDS- Croatian society of composers, HRSK- Croatian parliament of culture and etc.), archives and individual libraries of amateur societies. This work will contain a paragraph which brings the most important characteristics of Slavonian traditional music which were used during the composing process. Finally, from this work it will be possible to conclude that the classical music expression, implemented with Slavonian traditional music, without any doubts has a significant place in the field of art. With a well conceived, planned and directed affirmation of this kind of cultural wealth, there are truly significant possibilities in the economy development of east Croatia. Of course, it is up to us to fulfil it.
