| Summary: | Music for voice holds a special place in the opus of Serbian composer Jug
Marković. In all of his pieces, Marković maintains a type of care for the
vocal part that distinguishes him in the context of Serbian art music, and,
at the same time, puts him on the international map of contemporary
composers who work with voice in non-traditional ways. This is reflected in
his intention to diversify performing techniques and vocal styles, in the
detailed instructions regarding technique and scenic gesture, and in the use
of technological means in vocal performance and manipulation of sound. In
this paper, I investigate the expansion of vocal and bodily expression via
performing techniques and new technologies, and address the issues of
autonomy, agency, and responsibility of composer and vocal performer, in
order to determine the characteristics and different factors of eclecticism
in Marković’s vocal music. |
