This book examines the concept of the word melody as a separate and profound aspect of vocal music, both in theory and in practice as exemplified in the author's own groundbreaking opera "JenÅ fa". The author, himself a composer, articulates his theory of musical structure based on the expressive qualities of the spoken word, demonstrating how he has operationalized this theory in his opera.
