Ovaj rad bavi se zborskom glazbom na primjeru analize ciklusa 5 minijatura na haiku. Riječ je o novom djelu koje je nastalo prigodom obilježavanja pet godina postojanja zbora Cappella Odak. Između minijatura ne postoji jasna glazbena poveznica osim vremena i prigode nastanka, a upravo ih haiku, japanski oblik poezije, zaokružuje u jedinstveni ciklus. U radu ću, osim biografija skladatelja i autora pjesama, detaljno iznijeti glazbeni i tekstualni sadržaj kompozicija te vlastiti dirigentski pristup. Zatim ću se posvetiti praizvedbi; navest ću program koncerta, sudionike i osvrte. Na kraju diplomskoga rada priložit ću razgovor s dirigenticom i skladateljima, kao i notne materijale.

This paper is about choral music. It contains the analysis of the cycle 5 Haiku Pieces. It is a new piece, created specifically for the fifth anniversary of the choir Cappella Odak. The cycle contains compositions of five Croatian composers, each with his own distinctive musical language. There is no distinctive musical connection between the Haiku Pieces, except for the time and purpose of their creation, however, they are firmly connected into a cycle by the Japanese poetry form haiku. In this paper, I am going to give a brief overview of composers' and haiku authors' biographies, thoroughly analyse and compare the musical and textual aspects of the pieces, as well as provide my own conducting approach. A seperate section will be focused on the world premiere of the cycle. I will provide the concert programme, its participants and reviews. The paper will also include interviews with the conductor and the composers, as well as original musical score as additional material.
