He composed music forHey, Slavs, which wasnational anthem ofSlovak State,Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia andFederal Republic of Yugoslavia. TheVatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall is named after him.
He was also one of the founders ofIllyrism, a movement that advocated the importance of Croatian and more generallySouth Slavic cultural heritage,[5] as a reaction toMagyarisation during theAustro-Hungarian rule.
