Jeden z najznámejších skladateľov novej slovenskej hudby. Autor opier Bátoryčka (1994), Posledné dni Veľkej Moravy (1996), orchestrálnych diel, inštrumentálnych koncertov, kantát, komorných skladieb, scénickej a filmovej hudby. V Elektroakustickom štúdiu Československého rozhlasu, v ktorom do roku 1968 pôsobil ako dramaturg a lektor, začal experimentovať s možnosťami elektroakustickej hudby, čo sa prejavilo aj v jeho tvorbe pre film. Od roku 1957 až do vylúčenia zo Zväzu slovenských skladateľov (1973) a zákazu činnosti skomponoval hudbu k približne sto hraným a dokumentárnym filmom. Spolupracoval s dokumentaristami Martinom Slivkom – Voda a práca (1963), Metamorfóza vlákna (1968), Odchádza človek (1968), s Vladom Kubenkom – Vyznávač snov (1970), Galanda (1970), s Ladislavom Kudelkom – Premenená zem (1959), Chlapi z Gaderskej doliny (1963) a i. Osobitné postavenie v Zeljenkovej tvorbe má Igricom ocenená hudba k filmu režiséra Eduarda Grečnera Drak sa vracia (1967), ktorá patrí k jeho najúspešnejším filmovým projektom. Spolupráca s režisérom Štefanom Uhrom na filmoch Slnko v sieti (1962), Panna zázračnica (1966), Tri dcéry (1967), Génius (1969), Keby som mal pušku (1971), Javor a Juliana (1972) a Dolina (1973) priniesla nový pohľad na funkciu hudby vo filme. Hudba prestala byť ilustratívna, dotvárala atmosféru príbehu a stala sa jednou z dôležitých zložiek filmu.

Seven Days Every Week

Každý týždeň sedem dní; Eduard Grečner, 1964, versions: OR

Turo and Andrej, university students, experience anxiety that, in some way, emanates from the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The bonvivant Turo is tormented by the idea of a very concrete menace - an atomic threat that could turn into a reality at any time and destroy all life. Andrej, a sculptor, struggles to complete the memorial to the Hiroshima tragedy despite he devotes it all his time. The alienation that stems from the angst, penetrates their private lives and undermines any of their efforts for functioning relationships. This film has been digitally restored by the Slovak Film Institute.
