This study yields an analysis of one of the most distinctive compositions from the composer Miloslav Kabeláč (1908–1970) for children’s choir and piano — Blue Sky (1950). One’s attention focuses above all on the vocal sound, on the elemental musical morphology and its impulses, which on the one hand stands the load-bearing constructions of Kabeláč’s compositions (which are built upon continuous planes and musical units), and on the other hand, these elements shape and define each individual song. Kabeláč outlines Hrubín’s verse (from the collection Blue Sky, 1948, which uses pictures from Josef Čapek) through the elemental nature of monorhythmic structures and in a more or less unvarying vocal space. Despite this, however, each song has its own specific traits and pronounced character. The elements of play, which this analysis will attempt to express and within which are found various deep dimensions of Kabeláč’s conception of the work as a whole, are mutually related structures of joking, playful puns through lyrics or vice versa through more dramatic position to a decidedly contemplative position, an expression of the naturalness of the world of children followed by a return to the world of adults.
