Pacala, Frederik ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávková, Lenka (referee)
This thesis deals with the musical allusions in the literary works of Czech humanists of 16th century. The author presents the current applications of these sources in Czech musical historiography. Further attention is focused on the representatives of the humanist culture in the Czech lands, the possibilities of their connection with the musical culture and on the effort to point out their mutual ties and contacts. The second part of the thesis is focused on two specific personalities - Georgius Handschius and Jakub Srnovec - whose works illustrate the possibilities of deepening the use of this type of sources in musical-historiographical research.

Motet compositions by Carl Luython in the music print Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum... fasciculus primus (1603).
Bilwachs, Jan ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávková, Lenka (referee)
This master thesis deals with the vocal compositions of rudolfine composer and organist Carl Luython. In his collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum ... fasciculus primus, published in 1603 by the Prague printer Georg Nigrin, there are 29 sacred motets. Despite the partial knowledge about Luython's motets in the existing musicological literature is provided, a new revised view with regard to new findings concerning the genre of the motet is required. The master thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the preserved copies of Sacrae cantiones and provides their description and the historical outline of the sources and their probable use. In the second chapter, the problems related to the function of the motet in the second half of the sixteenth century are discussed. The third chapter deals with the collection itself. Criteria for selecting the repertoire, its inner structure and content are considered, which are subsequently analyzed in more detail. The fourth chapter is composed of four case studies concerning the current problems of research. The first case is a motet O domus luminosa, the paraphrase of the Augustine text. In the second case, Luyton's relationship with the Corpus Christi brotherhood is pointed out by the motet Pange lingua. In the latter case the...

Václav Clemens Žebrácký - Idea unionis musicae et poeticae (1617). Edition and analysis.
Pacala, Frederik ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
The main purpose of the thesis is a commented critical edition of treatise Idea unionis musicae et poeticae written by Václav Clemens Žebrácký. The treatise is a written version of the disputation presented on 8 March, 1617 in a great hall of Carolinum. The small print (9 ff.), preserved uniquely in the Castle library in K ivoklát (shelf-mark XLIV. f. 12, extra draft 33) has not been hitherto reflected in the scientific (musicological and non-musicological) literature. Apart from the critical edition of the Clement's treatise, the aim of the thesis is to pou it in the historical context and to point out its connection with the intellectual background outside of Prague. Keywords Václav Clemens Žebrácký, Johannes Lippius, Library of Castle K ivoklát, Charles University, music theory, poetica, musica

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

The motets from the collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum of Carl Luython and their concordances. Critical edition and analysis of the chosen motets.
Bilwachs, Jan ; Daněk, Petr (advisor) ; Baťa, Jan (referee)
There are concordances to five motets from Carl Luython's collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum... fasciculus primus in Bohemian and German manuscripts and early prints from the turn of the 16th and the 17th centuries, which were not sufficiently evaluated yet. Some records of the motets are not just mere copies of Luython's early-print collection but rather their reworkings. In my thesis I follow up previous research about Luython's motet works. In the first chapter the convolute XI 8ř47, which is the only source that includes a complete specimen of Luython's collection and which represents an evidence about the dissemination of Rudolphinian music, is described. The second chapter deals with the collection itself. The third chapter is divided into four subchapters, each of them dealing with a description of the source in which a certain motet by Luython is preserved, and with a subsequent comparison of all variants that were found. A critical edition draft of the five motets is included.

The Relationship of Music and Word in the 15th Century Songs
Jakoubková, Petra ; Hlávková, Lenka (advisor) ; Baťa, Jan (referee)
The polyphonic songs from the 15th-century Czech manuscript Codex Speciálník were studied allready in 1980s and 1990s by Dagmar Vanišová and Jitka Petrusová. In the context of actual research, the former interpretation of songs with Latin sacred texts (understood as cantiones) needs a revision. In my study, I am discussing problems concerning the relationship of music and words within individual compositions and in the context of the period musical culture.

It focuses only on the items that contributed significantly to the topic. The third chapter, Focus on the musical privacy of Prague citizens in the period before the Battle of the White Mountain, opens the main part of the dissertation with the results of newly-undertaken research.
