Abstract
The article offers one of the possible keys to functionally connect the sphere of classical and popular music in general music education classes at upper-secondary schools (or in the highest grades of primary schools). The supporting link here is a strong real-life story (in this case, the story of Jan Palach) and music from both spheres that reacts to the story (e.g.
Václav Neckář's song and Jan Hanuš's cantata). This text presents the methodological background and offers didactic material intended for direct use in music lessons.
It forms one unit with the study entitled Stories Told by Music: A Research Aiming at an Innovative Approach Towards Music Listening Skills in Music Lessons, published in the previous issue of Hudební výchova.
