Meanings and Soundings of Language in a Radiophonic Poem Veliki Kamen

The subject of this paper is an exploration of the treatment status and use of language – more precisely its meaning/ sounding/ sound in the context of Veliki kamen (Велики камен A Large Stone 2017 Op. 55) a radiophonic poem by the composer radiophonic artist and author Ivana Stefanović (Ивана Стефановић b. 1948). A Large Stone is a partial setting of Hasanaginica (Хасанагиница 1974) a play by Ljubomir Simović (Љубомир Симовић) itself inspired by motives from the eponymous folk ballad. Language/the sound of language and radiophony/ radiophonic sound are brought together by the notion of meaning and sounding and it is precisely these parameters that I attempted to survey in A Large Stone.
