In 1908, the accompaniment evaporates for one or two bars at a time, a revision coupled to a more idiomatic, less slavishly thematic rhythm in the vocal line: Ex. 3.20b An altogether more extreme example of this tendency towards textural distillation is found in Act 3 at the moment of the Kostelnička’s initial revelation of the truth about the baby’s murder, ‘To můj skutek, můj trest boží’ [Mine the deed, mine the punishment]. In 1904 both this line of text and the initial stunned reaction of the men in the crowd were made against an expansive, lyrical orchestral accompaniment, the Kostelnička’s vocal line closely entwined with the instrumental motifs (cf. CHAPTER 2, Fig. 2.5): Ex. 3.21a 105
In 1908 Janáček delays the appearance of this theme until the Kostelnička’s powerful outpouring, ‘Tys, Bože, to věděl že to nebylo k snesení’ [Oh God, you know how unbearable it was] (Act 3, fig. 59), leaving the moment of initial confession unaccompanied except for the brief interjectory motif that underpins the crowd’s reaction: Ex. 3.21b Silence, however, was not the only means by which Janáček achieved his remarkable musical transformation of the opera: in many cases he pared away much textural padding, thus bringing musical motifs into sharper focus. In Ex. 3.22 (from the Kostelnička–Števa scene in Act 2) the insistent violin demisemiquavers and viola 106
