Stevan Mokranjac (1856–1914) was a composer, music pedagogist and academician. He was also a conductor of the Belgrade Choral Society and professor at the Serbian Music School. He wrote down folk melodies, which made him the founder of Serbian ethnomusicology. His church music compositions represent the most prominent works of Orthodox liturgy.
