  • Description: <jats:p>Svetlana Savić was given the "Mokranjac" award for her composition titled Trapped (2014), written for female choir and electronics. Originally composed for a multimedia project realized by the "Collegium Musicum" choir titled Water, Savić's piece was inspired by water trapped inside pipes, a subject that enabled her to realize the musical flow using a variety of murmurs and noises, as well as to expand upon the numerous possibilities offered by the contrast between a female voice and electronically produced sounds. The musical language of Trapped can thus be understood as the result of research into the possibilities offered by the sonic traits of the musical material, the relationship between consonant and dissonant intervals - mostly seconds and thirds - and as a very compact, yet incredibly expressive musical manifestation of feelings of captivity and fear of drowning.</jats:p>
