Editing Zdravljica (section)

== History ==
[[File:Prečrtana kitica Zdravljice.jpg|thumb|left|A [[censorship|censored]] manuscript, ready to be published in the ''Poezije'' (''Poems'') collection in 1846. A modified version was published in full in 1848.]]
The integral version of the poem was first published only after the March Revolution when [[Imperial and Royal|Austrian]] [[censorship]] was abolished, since the censorship did not allow for the poem to be printed earlier because of its political message. On 26 April 1848, it was published by the [[List of Slovene newspapers|Slovene newspaper]] ''[[Kmetijske in rokodelske novice]]'', that was edited by the Slovene [[Old Slovenes|conservative]] political leader [[Janez Bleiweis]].{{Cn|date=November 2020}}

Before the censorship was abolished, Prešeren omitted the third stanza ("''V sovražnike 'z oblakov / rodú naj naš'ga treši gróm''") because he intended to include the poem in his ''Poezije'' collection (''Poems''), however the censor (fellow-Slovene [[Franz Miklosich]] in Austrian service) saw in the fourth stanza ("''Edinost, sreča, sprava / k nam naj nazaj se vrnejo''") an expression of [[Pan-Slavism|pan-Slavic sentiment]] and therefore did not allow its publication either. Prešeren believed the poem would be mutilated without both the third and the fourth stanza and decided against including it in the ''Poezije''.{{Cn|date=November 2020}}

"Zdravljica" was first set to music in the 1860s by [[Benjamin Ipavec]] and [[Davorin Jenko]], but their versions didn't go well with the public, probably because the stanzas that they chose were not enough nationally awakening.<ref name=K2005>{{cite journal |url=http://mi-s.zrc-sazu.si/files/file/dmd/DMD_1_1_CIGOJ_KRSTULOVIC.pdf |first=Nataša |last=Cigoj Krstulović |title=Himna kot simbol naroda: premislek ob stoletnici nastanka Premrlove ''Zdravice'' |language=sl|trans-title=The Anthem as a Symbol of the Nation: A Reflection on the 100th Anniversary of the Creation of Premrl's ''Zdravica'' |journal=De Musica Disserenda |volume=I |issue=1–2 |year=2005 |pages=11–28}}</ref> In 1905, the Slovene composer [[Stanko Premrl]] wrote a [[choir|choral]] composition. It was first performed only on 18 November 1917 by the Music Society (''{{ill|Glasbena matica|sl}}'') in the [[Grand Hotel Union]], Ljubljana. It became an immediate success.<ref name=K2005 />
