Contemporary Trends of Protestant Liturgical Music in the Czech Republic
Dittrichová, Johana ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Nedělka, Michal (referee)
anglicky The diploma thesis Contemporary Trends of Protestant Liturgical Music in the Czech Republic deals mainly with both - musical and unmusical - element of contemporary praise and worship songs used at protestant Sunday services. The aim of praise and worship music in a Sunday service, is to give praise to God, as well as it was in biblical times. Therefore the first chapter of the thesis presents observations about music in the Bible and examines its connections to non-musical ways of praising God, which throws light upon the situation today. The part of the thesis which makes the reader familiar with current situation of protestant liturgical music in the Czech Republic, points out weaknesses in present-day song writing and shows a need of musical education for Christians, who take part in performing music at Church, compose songs and translate them from other languages. There is also a notable trend of adapting hymnbook songs, which therefore become friendlier to younger generation who prefers livelier music. Although there is not any board for protestant liturgical music, there are several influential personalities, whose view on various components of music liturgy and relationship to God's praise are presented in the third chapter. All of them agree on the fact that praising God through...

Petr Eben - Cantica Comeniana I - Analysis of Arrangement of ten songs from Amsterodam songbook
Dittrichová, Johana ; Bělohlávková, Petra (advisor) ; Nedělka, Michal (referee)

Analyses of Eben's arrangements of the songs were compared to their originals. When arranging the songs, Eben minded the original number of their verses and only in three songs is the number of verses reduced. The same tendency - to be as close to original as possible - can be observed in cases of modus and key. Melody varies just once, in the fifth song, which is definitely because the modus shift. Metre and rhythm of Eben's arrangements are the same as in Komensky's works with the exception of a few songs where changing the rhythm or metre is necessary to assimilate with lyrics more accurately (the fifth song can well serve as an example of changing metre and rhythm - both - for music to work better together with the lyrics. Second area the thesis touches are the scores of Eben's arrangements. Most of the songs are addapted for a three-part choir. Songs one three and ten are composed for a three-part choir a capella, songs two, seven and nine require a recorder and the first adaptation of the fifth song, for three-part choir as well, is composed for a baritone instrument. Songs four, five (its third adaptation) and six are...
