Jarmil Burghauser - A Composer (Selected Chamber Works for Wind Instruments)
Slivoňová, Lucie ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Douša, Eduard (referee)
Jarmil Burghauser is mostly known as the editor of the complete critical edition of Antonín Dvořák's work. In addition to that he issued editions of Smetana, Fibich or Janáček. He also instrumented many pieces of these composers. Even though the sources refer to his fruitful activities in the field of composing, Burghauser as a composer is not very known. The aim of this thesis is to introduce Jarmil Burghauser as a composer of chamber music for brass instruments through the analysis of selected compositions. The objective is also to put Burghauser in the context of Czech musical work in the 20th century.

Zdeněk Havlíček The Piano Works of Josef Bohuslav Foerster (The Lyrical Piano Pieces of the Turn of the Century) ABSTRACT: The presented thesis deals with the piano works of Josef Bohuslav Foerster - in detail, it is concerned with his lyrical piano pieces from the turn of the century. After mapping out the relevant Foerster-related literature and sources, it approaches the issue of lyrical piano piece as a music genre, and gives a relatively detailed outline of its development in the 19th century. This becomes a background against which, at some points, the nature of the analyzed pieces is to be shown. In the analysis of the piano cycle "Snění" ("Dreamings", 1898), the motivic and thematic processes are the main object, the analysis of the cycle "Růže vzpomínek" ("Roses of Memories", 1902) is dominated by the aspect of harmony and also takes into consideration the context of the various piano genres employed. From the cycle "A jabloně kvetly" ("And the Apple trees blossom", 1905), only the first piece ("Dream") is closely observed. Finally, an attempt is made to discuss the piano works in question in broader musical-historical and musical- historiographical contexts.

Polystylism and Collage in Czech Music in the Second Half of the 20th Century by Robert Škarda Key words: czech music, collage, polystylism, postmodernism, quotation, style contraposition, team composition The topic of my thesis Polystylism and Collage in Czech Music in the Second Half of the 20th Century is the area of Czech composers' works based mainly on style contraposition, stylization of historical or jazz music and usage of quotations. My work is based on assumption of historicity of musical terminology. I consider the notions polystylism and collage as period musical terms and I attempt to reconstruct their meaning. Time definition of the thesis is delimited by the years 1960 and 2000. Lower time limit is selected regarding to nature of the topic - the 60s are the period when works and reflections belonging to the context of the notions polystylism and collage first appeared. The first part of my thesis focuses on the general mapping of the topic polystylism and collage. I summarized relevant musicology literature and I dealed with historical and teoretical relations of polystylism and collage to related terms (first of all postmodernism, montage and style), I was concerned with the context of European and American music and with question of polystylism and collage in Czech popular music....

Cabaret "Červená sedma" in the light of archival materials of Czech Radio
Vítková, Eva ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Douša, Eduard (referee)
This bachelor's thesis maps the situation, in which the archive of the "Červená sedma" cabaret, that is in large part deposited in rooms of the Czech Radio archive, in the present days is found. It compares the dates from the former catalogue, that was managed by the members of the cabaret themselves, with the real today's situation. It even shows individual differences and discrepancies, that were during the revision found. This thesis also concentrates on the "Červená sedma" as a part of the Czech or more precisely the Czechoslovak Radio broadcasting and encourages programmes, in which this company occured, either directly by its members, or indirectly through the actors of other generations or memorial programmes devoted to it.
A fusion of jazz and contemporary composition in Czech music in 2nd half of 20th century
Hampl, Tomáš ; Havelková, Tereza (advisor) ; Douša, Eduard (referee)
This study deals with the problems involved in the synthesis of jazz and contemporary composition as it occurs in Czech music in the seventies of the 20th century. Of special concern are the problems of ambiguity in how the Czechoslovak literature of the 60's through the 80's views Schuller's concept of "Third stream." My work draws upon the research results of Robert Loran Brown and his follower David Joyner as the representatives of the current critical view of American musicology. On the basis of a detailed analysis of Alexej Fried's composition "Sonatina Drammatica," I am attempting to deal with the non-American understanding of the synthesis of jazz and European musical practice. In confrontation with Joyner's critical opinion of trying to create music in the spirit of the theory of "Third Stream," I question the validity of his conclusions, which relegate the "Third Stream" concept solely to the theoretical sphere without any chance of practical implementation. Key words Third stream, Jazz, Fusion, Alexej Fried, Sonatina Drammatica
