Musical analyses of these compositions contain the complete text documents and are accompanied by score samples. The scores of both given pieces are part of the thesis.

However, we can come to a conclusion that the musical development proceeded in similar way as in the other churches because for example the hymnbook "The heavenly nightingale on the branch of life singing praise to his Creator" remained well preserved in two exemplars. In the parish chronicles there are also old records of property, which - besides other things - mention the instrumental equipment of the choir loft. Around 1750, Antonín Platnýř let here constructed the organ that had been damaged twice by the fire; after the fire in 1933, its disposition was changed from baroque to romantic. However, the last reconstruction gave it back the original appearance and registers and brought new precious information, above others the name of well-known organist Martin Paleček. In the middle of the 18th century the teacher Ondřej Poddaný was working...
