Information: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jani Golob (born 18 January 1948 in Ljubljana) is a Slovenian composer, violinist, arranger, conductor and professor. Golob has composed operas, ballets, orchestral works, chamber and vocal music, as well as numerous Slovenian film scores music for television and music for advertising purposes. His probably most important works are probably three operas that was written in: Krpan's mare (1992), Medeja (1999) and Love Capital (2010). But he is most recognized by his contribution in Slovenian popular music. His internationally best-known piece of work is the unofficialy called Planica Slow Motion Theme (1997), played in replays for the Planica annual FIS Ski Jumping World Cup competition. Other hit songs are Prisluhni školjki (1985), (Slovenija) Moja dežela (1986) and Pustite nam ta svet (1987) popular specially in Slovenia. In 1971 he also arranged music for song Sejem želja (Scarborough Fair) with slovenian lyrics of this original english ballad. He is the arranger of most common used orchestrated version of slovenian national anthem Zdravljica, used in protocol, sports and other big events. In 1973 he acted in a film called Ljubezen na odoru (Love on the Furrows). Golob is one of very few people who has ability of absolute pitch. That's why when he was younger they used him to write music in notes just by listening and memorizing it.
