Кантата Стојанка Мајка Кнежопољка Скендера и Вука Куленовића
The Stojanka Majka Knežopoljka Cantata by Skender and Vuk Kulenović

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we look at the cantata Stojanka majka Knežopoljka [Mother Stojanka from Knežopolje], composed by Vuk Kulenović in 1988, based on the famous war narrative poem written by his father Skender Kulenović. We posit that Vuk Kulenović took path of least resistance when composing Stojanka majka Knežopoljka, and instead of composing music that would amplify the expressiveness of his father’s verse, he enveloped them in music that may be complementary to the verse but not immanent to it.
