Sigfrid Karg-Elert: Passacaglia and fuge on B-A-C-H op. 150
Kopáčik, Vladimír ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; ČERNÝ, Pavel (referee)
The Master's Thesis Sigfrid Karg-Elert: Passacaglia and Fugue on B-A-C-H, op.150 concentrates both on the composer's life and this specific composition. The thesis traces the history of the formation of the composition. It begins by offering insights into the perception of music at the beginning of the 20th Century. I then attempt to show the relationship between the composer's life and his work, dealing with his musical language and his various compositions. The main topic is the formation of the composition "B-A-C-H" and an analysis. In the chapters devoted to the main topic, I analyze the circumstances under which the work was composed, giving attention both the "how" and the "why" and considering such aspects as form, theme, and harmony. In the last chapter, I describe the composer's concert tour of North America, where this work was composed, allowing the reader to have some sense of Sigfrid Karg-Elert's skill as a performer.

Gricová, Táňa ; POPELKA, Josef (advisor) ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (referee)
Subject for the following work provided the idea of uses cryptogram in music. There are many cryptograms but we will only deal with one and most important, the shape of which gave the name completer of the Baroque era. J. S. Bach was organist and he was and still is an inspiration especially for organists. We deal with the only the compositions for organ which use his cryptogram.
Based on the analysis of several works we want to point out the different ways of working with the same theme and the distinctive style of each composer. We focus on the most famous authors and their works created on the theme B-A-C-H from the Romantic period, i.e. from the rediscovery of Baroque genius.
A part of the work is a complete list of compositions on this theme, which states K. Beckmanns the publication Repertorium Orgelmusik. Its dimension it would certainly be surprising for each.

Olivier Messiaen and his organ works
Zahrádková, Marie ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; POPELKA, Josef (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with a prominent French composer, organist and pedagogue Olivier Messiaen and his organ works. The first part of the thesis brings relevant biographic information on the composer, overview of his works, compositional inspiration and specifies facets and components of Messiaens?s musical language (rhythm, harmony, melody, forms). In the following part, the focus of the thesis shifts to organ works: not merely to composition techniques but primarily to more thorough analysis of particular sheet music ? not however from the traditional musical-analytic perspective, but rather from outside-of-music, often theological context. The main goal of the thesis is to gain an insight into the core of Messiaens?s composition techniques, inspirations and motivations through the understanding of his music language as well as his life and philosophical perspectives. Uniqueness of this creator will be demonstrated by the analysis of the Gregorian melodies, Bible quotations and liturgical texts of the pieces ?Priere avant la communio? and ?La Nativité du Seigneur.?

Organ and its Place in catholic Liturgy
Flamíková, Eva ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; POPELKA, Josef (referee)
Throughout the history the organ has become a musical instrument of the Catholic Church temple. It has become a sacred instrument celebrating the God fully reflecting His majesty.
During its historic development in the Catholic Liturgy the role of organ kept being restated as well as the expression of its sound.
There has always been a lot of place for art in the Catholic Church. The organ as a musical instrument of the temple has become an integrated part of its beauty, nobility and dignity. Changes in the history bring changes into art, church and humanity and sometimes it can be seen that the two inseparable parts of life ? the profane and religious are put in contradiction. Then it is important to vindicate the value and position of the temple in life and so the existence of the liturgical instrument ? the organ.
In spite of certain skepticism attacking liturgical congregations and their importance defending voices of popes, organists and believers themselves can still be clearly heard. They speak about a great value we have inherited from famous composers but also about life of our ancestors who have built organs to bring their spirits closer to the God and the truthful life. It is very important to spread this tradition in the present days too.

Position of church Organist in the czech Lands
Kšica, Přemysl ; POPELKA, Josef (advisor) ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (referee)
Nowadays we can be witnesses of an opinion, that in czech country was always in the area of czech church music strong tradition amateur musicians´ influence. Supposedly, that it ever was, is correct, that it is still also today. An aim of this work is not to declaim a role of amateur musicians, but an effort to point to aspects, when is required, even irreplaceable a profesionality. It should be awarded a proper significance, which is unfortunately not always well understanded. In a church praxis is often made a difference in an attitude, if it is about amateur organist or profesionalist, and not just in a financial apprasial point of view.
