Glagolitic did have a long-term survival, but mainly in relation to Slavonic liturgical texts.

Glagolitic was in use in Croatia in the church and in public life up to the 20th century.

The first half has Janacek's Glagolitic Mass, a setting of the mass in Old Slavonic, cut from the same cloth as his remarkable Sinfonietta.

The Croatian Choir Bastina will perform a concert of Glagolitic chants in the Trinity College Dublin chapel next Monday, February 19th, at 8 p.m.
