Gospel - the History, Analysis of Repertoire and Performing Style
Christofidou, Isavella ; Kittnarová, Olga (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
Gospel is a musical genre characterized by dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) reťerencing lyrics of a religious nature, particularly Christian. In the first chapter, I describe gospel as a phenomenon and I mentioned its historical roots. The second chapter deals with the black and white gospel and its subchapters (2.1. 2.2) illustrate the history and development of the both genre. I he third chapter contains the historical genres related to gospel. The main attention is paid to the Negro Spirituals (3.1) and to the blues' music (3.2). The fourth chapter embraces typical examples of songs from Negro spirituál to contemporary gospel songs. The next Chapter (5) is the culmination of my diploma work. I described there the originál means of expression typical for the written scores and practical performing usage of gospel music. I found it the most important and interesting Chapter because I mentioned there many examples typical for gospel music from the musical point of view. The individua! subchapters explain some instructions of interpreters how to realize specific demands. They concern the gospel moan, screams and shouts, song-speech and gospel vibrato, pitch, passing toneš, bends, neighbour toneš and the gospel groupetto, vocal ornaments, rhythm, gospel phrasing and syncopation, repetition,...

The Czech Music Community - Tradition, the Present Day
Kuhnová, Barbora ; Kittnarová, Olga (advisor) ; Jenčková, Eva (referee)
My thesis is focused on the entire history of the Czech Music Society. This work is divided into two main parts. In the first section I deal with the history of the Czech Music Society from its very beginning to nowadays and in the sccond part I concentrated on the organization structure of every single part. The Czech Music Society is a voluntary independent association of people who are interested in music. The organization concentrates primarily on music education, musicology, interpretation, publishing and so on. It organizes a lot of activities in connection with music, for example courses both for professionals and amateurs, lectures, workshops, concerts, music summer camps and excursions. Its own history dates back to 1972 when the preparatory commission was established. The organization officially started its activity in 1975. The range of activities was truly wide. After the Velvet revolution in 1989 the Czech Music Society had to tackle serious financial problems. The members have tried to solve these problems, unfortunately without any success. The Society will cease to exist by the end of the year 2006.

Central African Music
Polydorou, Nikoletta ; Kittnarová, Olga (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I studied how harmony, rhythm and forms can apply in ceremonial music in Central Africa, forms and rhythms that we can find in European music also but somehow different. Firstly, I spoke about the Geographical area in Central Africa, which is divided in latitudes. And how in these latitudes since there were boundary marks, political territories involved. These territories were French Equatorial Africa, the Belgian Congo and Ruanda - Urundi, Uganda and Tanganyika. Secondly, I speak about ceremonial music, how music, dance and drama come together. It is very strange to notice that in some of their languages they use only one word for music, dance and drama. I moved through healing, initiation, birth, marriage, hunting, and New Year and new moon ceremonies. Furthermore, one of the most interesting parts of my thesis is the "Talking Drum", a drum that can announce important news to the tribes. For me of course is very unique but it is normal if we consider that some of these tribes have until nine pitch levels in their speech. One of their special elements is rhythm. African hemiola style is a style that we know from early European music. Considering harmony the most interesting is "hocketus", a technique that can be described by breaking up the melodic flow into interrupted (hiccupped)...
