The Sacred Works of Domenico Sarri in Bohemia
Čermáková, Eva ; Niubo, Marc (advisor) ; Kapsa, Václav (referee)
The diploma thesis contributes to study of the Italian and Czech origins of the sacred music by Neapolitan composers from the first third of the 18th century. The first chapters of the thesis concentrate on classification of manuscripts with music by the Neapolitan composer Domenico Sarri (1678-1744) whose many works have been preserved in Czech music archives. Though Sarri demonstrably was a significant representative of the Neapolitan music production of his time, his work has not yet been adequately explored. This thesis therefore also includes a complete reconstruction of Sarri's psalm Dixit Dominus F major. In the last part of the thesis, this piece is analyzed and compared within the selection of few works by Sarri and his contemporaries with the aim to specify some of the general and individual aspects of Sarri's musical thinking.

Staňová, Eva ; Niubo, Marc (advisor) ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the Domenico Cimarosa's Il matrimonio segreto and its premiere in 1792 at Nostitz Theatre in Prague. In the first part of thesis I summarize Cimarosa's life and work. The following chapter of thesis represents characteristics and development of opera buffa in the 18th century and then creation and genesis of Il matrimonio segreto. The work is also examined from the perspective of multiple structures of the libretto and music. In the third chapter the development of opera in Prague during the 18th century is approached and there is also the discussion about the premiere of Il matrimonio segreto. Due to lack of surviving sources, which would come from the late 18th century, however, can not prove most of the necessary information for the reconstruction of the Prague performance of this opera. The last section also provides a list of sources of operas that have survived in Bohemia and made their description. Approach is to form strands, where the opera Il matrimonio segreto is gained wide currency in the Czech lands and capture their deviations from the surviving German scores.
