This thesis takes the work of K. Stockhausen's Der Kleine Harlekin as an important example of scenic music from twentieth century repertoire to investigate the types of relationships between body movement and music in the piece by both defining and analyzing the correspondences between the two. By trying to understand, evaluate and analyse these relationships which have been categorized as choreographic and theatrical, and their importance in the composition; I asked the question if it is possible to approach Der Kleine Harlekin as a transmedial composition piece because Stockhausen's use of body movement as a compositional media is an integral part of the piece. His use of choreography and music stands on its own and becomes complete together. They create musical meaning together. This piece and the way it is notated is a good example for the composers who want to combine body movement and music in their compositions.
