Franc Grašič, rojen leta 1877 v Gotni vasi pri Novem mestu, prevoznik zvonov med vojno. Fotografija je nastala 15. marca 1917 pred šmihelsko cerkvijo v Novem mestu.
The monograph deals with the musical practice of bell chiming, which is part of folk music tradition in Slovenia, as well as in some other European countries. Bell chiming is the rhythmic chiming of ...church bells, which is nowadays a fairly popular musical practice among the older and younger generations alike. The book is based on modern research and, where appropriate, comparatively approaches the material from a historical and geographical point of view. Apart from its musical analyses, which present structural and formational elements of bell-chiming tunes in detail, the book also discusses sociological questions, such as the role of bell chiming in the clerical and also in the secular context, the manner of musical transfer, the performativity of musical practice and the roles of the sexes in bell chiming. Bell chiming is placed within the broader context of European chiming. The detailed discussion of bell chiming in both Germany and Croatia refutes the old myth of bell chiming as a Slovenian national speciality.
Po obsežni zbiralni akciji sredstev za nakup zvonov leta 1925 je župnik naročil tri bronaste zvonove pri podjetju Zvonoglas v Mariboru. Največji je imel 1.045 kg in podobi sv. Martina in srca ...Jezusovega. Srednji je tehtal 550 kg in je imel na eni strani podobo Petra in Pavla in na drugi strani srce Marijino. Mali zvon je bil težak 390 kg in imel podobo sv. Frančiška Asiškega. Kot je zapisano v župnijski kroniki, takega dogodka Šmartin, kot se je takrat imenovalo Šmartno v Rožni dolini, še ni videl. Fantje so pripravili 50 velikanskih mlajev, visokih 30 do 36 m, in 100 malih smrek za špalir od Pohorčeve kapele do cerkve. Pred cerkvijo so postavili velik slavolok, ki je nosil napis »Vse žrtve, vse trpljenje, Bogu v čast, župljanom v zasluženje«. Šmartin je izgledal kakor raj. Zvonove je blagoslovil prelat in stolni dekan dr. Ivan Tomažič, kasnejši mariborski škof.Na fotografiji prepoznani: Frančiška Podrgajs, z leve prva v drugi vrsti, in Helena Dimec je v prvi vrsti četrta z desne. Njen mož Jurij Dimec, krstni boter lastnika pričujoče fotografije, je med fanti v zadnji vrsti.Uporabljena vira:Trobec, M., Naše korenine : ne smemo jih pozabiti : Šmartno v Rožni dolini od davnih do današnjih dni, 2011.Slovenski gospodar, 5. 8. 1926, str.4Besedilo pripravil: Srečko MačekFotografijo prispeval: Julijo Kovač

Zagorski zvonovi so Miroslavu Vilharju (1818–1871) peli iz tega barokiziranega zvonika cerkve sv. Helene v Zagorju na Pivki. In ne v kakem drugem Zagorju. – Široko, mednarodno znano in še zmeraj ...živo pesem pripisujemo Vilharju, čeprav ni povsem njegova. V prvi objavi (1867) je pod črto sam pripisal, da gre za staro zagorsko ljudsko pesem, ki ji je on dodal le tretjo kitico. – Izročilo v Zagorju na Pivki pa jo vseeno vztrajno pripisuje Vilharju in pri tem ohranja niz domnev o okoliščinah nastanka, o dnevu, celo uri njenega rojstva, in o imenu dekleta, ki ga je smrt pobrala v rosnih letih, Vilhar pa naj bi jo bil rad videval. Zagotovo pa je njegov napev. Najbrže jo prav njena spevnost ohranja živo. Pojavlja se v več inačicah, tudi njeni zapisi so večkrat šest- in ne trikitični, kot je bila avtorjeva volja. In izvirni naslov Zagorska se je zgubil. Enako tudi Vilharjevo ime. Vendar so vse to znamenja ponarodevanja. Dandanes se prepeva tudi v moderniziranih oblikah. Zanimiva je npr. v izvedbi Andreja Šifrerja, vendar bomo na spletu ob njegovi izvedbi zaman iskali Vilharjevo ime. (sf)
