Kasni opus Natka Devčića: Lirska scena za bariton, rog i gudački kvartet iz 1984. i Gudački kvartet iz 1987 [Late Opus by Natko Devčić: Lyric Scene, for bariton, horn and string quartet of 1984 and String Quartet of 1987]

Četverostavačni gudački kvartet (Andante – Allegro – Largo – Presto) skladan 1987. i iste godine praizveden u Brnu, jedino je djelo u opusu Natka Devčića osmišljeno za taj sastav. Samo tri godine ranije, 1984. Devčić sklada Lirsku scenu (praizvedba u Osoru 1984.) u devet prizora na odabrane tekstove Josipa Pupačića, u kojoj osim gudačkog kvarteta koristi još bariton i rog. Kroz komparativni pristup skladateljskom slogu oba djela analizirati će se stilske značajke kasnog Devčićevog opusa te ispitati na koji se način odnos glazba-riječ u Lirskoj sceni razvija kroz mrežu semantičkih mogućnosti, a koliko su određeni postupci prepoznatljivi kao konstante skladateljskog jezika. U fokusu analitičkog pristupa je Devčićev rad s intervalima i artikulacija harmonijske komponente kroz specifične postupke u organizaciji kromatskog totala. [The String quartet in four movements (Andante – Allegro – Largo – Presto) composed in 1987, and performed the same year in Brno, is the only work of its genre in the opus of Natko Devčić. Just three years before, in 1984, Devčić composed Lirska scena (Lyric Scene) in nine parts, based on selected texts of the poet Josip Pupačić (first performance in Osor in 1984). Here, in addition to the string quartet, the composer used baritone voice and horn as well. Through a comparative approach to the composer's voicing (setting?) in these two works, the stylistic features of the late Devčić opus will be analysed. Also, the paper will examine the way in which the music-text relationship in Lirska scena is developed trough a net of semantic possibilities, and how specific procedures can be recognized as constants of composer’s writing. The focal point of the analysis is Devičić’s work with intervals and the articulation of harmonic settings trough specific procedures of organizing the chromatic total.]
