Music as word: Film music - superlibretto?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of his paper is to prove that fi lm music can be understood as authentic narrative force: fi lm music as word / discourse and its superlibretto status. Superlibretto is the status of music in a fi lm which is constructing its own (aural) reality and is narrating, speaking its own text which creates a wholesome fi lm meaning. The existence of superlibretto is substantiated by fundamental theoretic concepts of fi lm music and practically proven by analyses of examples taken from the opus of Serbian fi lm composer Zoran Simjanović.
