Contribution of Prague's Professional Scribal Workshops to the Dissemination of Vocal Polyphony at the Turn of the 17th Century
Krátká, Natálie ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávková, Lenka (referee)
The thesis about Prague as the leading musical center of the Czech Kingdom is generally accepted in musicological discourse. Likewise, the key role of professional Prague writing workshops in spreading monophonic singing is not questioned. In the distribution of vocal polyphony are many uncertainties. The only known workshop that also created primarily polyphonic manuscripts is the New Town workshop of Jan Kantor Starý († 1582). The number of other surviving manuscripts indicates that there were more such workshops in Prague at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The object of the master thesis is therefore to reveal another possible workshop based on detailed paleographic and codicological research of a selected group of polyphonic sources, which demonstrably contain common writing hands. Keywords musical iconography, codicology, vocal polyphony, Prague

Missa Resurrectionis Domini in the Polyphonic Gradual of the Literati Brotherhood at St. Michael's Church in the New Town of Prague.
Krátká, Natálie ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávková, Lenka (referee)
The object of the thesis is the style analysis of the anonymous five-voice mass ordinary, which forms a part of the Officium Resurrectionis Domini written in 1578 into the only surviving set of partbooks from the church of St. Michael in the Prague, New Town (CZ-Pu, XI B 1a-d; E-Ps, DA II 3). The ordinary, based on several canti firmi (plainchant, sacred songs), consists of three parts - Kyrie, Gloria and Credo. Thorough analysis of the composition answers the question of the relationship between this composition and paschal ordinary written in 1594 in a manuscript CZ- Hkm Hr-22 and Hr-23. A version from Hradec Králové contains a number of motives consistent with the Prague version. The text of the thesis is accompanied with the transcription of both ordinaries. Keywords polyphonic mass ordinary, literati brotherhoods; Church of St. Michael (Prague, New Town), Church of Holy Spirit (Hradec Králové), musical sources, musical analysis
