Sažetak
After the First World War, with the appearance of the neo-national musical direction, the period of a more significant use of Slavonian melos10 in art music began. Though varying in intensity, it has been present since the 1950s until today, so that the musical opus inspired by Slavonian melodies includes over 60 compositions. As a part of our research of this opus, we singled out a composition by the composer Davor Bobić called Vukovarski requiem. The composer was inspired to create this four-movement work by the ravages of war that the town of Vukovar suffered during the Homeland War. Within the opus inspired by Slavonian melos, only the first movement of Bobić’s symphony, Predskazanje, contains vocal quotations performed by the traditional female singing group. This aroused our scientific interest and became the subject of this paper. The composer takes over and elaborates the melody of the traditional harvest tune Tri jetrve žito žele, using the quote to emphasize that the town of Vukovar belongs to Slavonia. Having proven the origin of the quotation, we analytically presented the ways of its application and the role of the original female singing group in creating associations of Slavonian melos.
