Rossi, Michaela ; Daněk, Petr (advisor) ; Pánek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Maňas, Vladimír (referee)
of the Dissertation The Musical Entourage of Rudolf II (1576-1612) reconstructed from the Imperial Accounting Ledgers Michaela Žáčková Rossi (2016, Supervisor: doc. PhDr. Petr Daněk Ph.D.) The proposed dissertation is undertaken as an attempt to make accessible the payments of the imperial court under Rudolf II concerning its musical life. Quite a century ago Albert Smijers published payments to the imperial musicians, but only to them of the chapel, while the other categories were considered unsystematically; but even among the "trometter", "kammermusici" and "servants on two and more horses" we find excellent composers. This dissertation, using the known sources and on the basis of new heuristics in the State Archives of Vienna, brings for the first time a complete list of all musicians of the Rudolf's court, including the period, function and wages development of their stay. Thanks to the extensive lists and graphs, it also present the specialization and career evolution of the Imperial musicians, number and quality of their extraordinary payments, bonuses etc. The conception of a first global view on the Rudolfine musical entourage in Prague will be complemented in a forthcoming monograph by a complete list of (Gnadengeld), it means "grace payments" to the musicians for their music dedications...

Evangelista Papazzone and his manuscript Tractatus de arte saltandi
Tillmanová, Hana ; Gremlicová, Dorota (advisor) ; Stavělová, Daniela (referee) ; Maňas, Vladimír (referee)
The aim of this dissertation is to analyse and evaluate the content of a unique source from the Rudolphine period, the manuscript by Evangelista Papazzone, a dance master at the court of Rudolf II. The starting point is the independent transcription and translation of the manuscript into Czech. First, the thesis paints a picture of the situation in Bohemia in the second half of the 16th century and the court of Rudolf II, summarizes the existing knowledge about the relationship of the Bohemian nobility to Italian culture and the importance of dance in Bohemia, and discusses the professional possibilities of an Italian dance master in this milieu. The thesis also presents in detail the Italian dance style of the 16th century and presents an analysis of Italian dance treatises, in the context of which Papazzone's manuscript is considered. His treatise is exceptional in that it is the only one of the Renaissance Italian dance manuals to have been written outside Italy, but it shows numerous correspondences with them, especially in that it also favours the gagliarda, the most popular Renaissance dance. Gagliarda, characteristics, variability, social function and use is another important topic, in connection with the prominent position of this dance in Papazzone's manuscript. The final part of the...

Three-Part Songs for the Advent and the Christmas Time included in the Hymnbook by V. K. Holan Rovenský - the practical edition
Müllerová, Věra ; Slavický, Tomáš (advisor) ; Maňas, Vladimír (referee)
43 RESUMÉ IN ENGLISH This bachelor thesis focuses on the three-part songs for the Advent and the Christ- mas time included in the hymnbook entitled Capella Regia Musicalis (Prague 1693) by Václav Karel Holan Rovenský (1644 - 1718). The goal is to identify the three-part songs (i.e. two voices and basso continuo) and provide their practical edition (i.e. render them in the present-day form). The thesis opens with an excursion into the history of the Czech hymnbook from the 15th to the beginning of the 18th century. During this period, the Catholic Church was inspired by the repertoire of the protestant songs; we can observe that the reper- toire of all denominations was almost identical. This part is followed by an overview of the most important hymnbook of the 17th century which became Holan's source of inspiration. A separate chapter is dedi- cated to Holan's work and personal life which in itself is of great interest. The following part proceeds to the general description of Holan's hymnbook, Capella regia musicalis, and of the problems that accompanied its creation. The the- sis provides a description of the structure of the hymnbook and its formal organiza- tion. The analysis of selected details has confirmed A. Škarda's judgment that the hymnbook is ill-arranged and chaotic. The historic exposition is...

Baťová, Eliška ; Maňas, Vladimír (referee)
Mgr. Eliška Baťová, dipl. um. The Kolín Cantional from 1517 and Songs of the Bohemian Brethren n the Early Sixteenth Century This thesis is revised version of my diploma paper. It deals with the Czech cantional hold in Kolín, The Regional Museum, and its contribution to hymnology. Both the complete external description of the source and the analysis of its contents is made. It looks mainly into the liturgical use of the repertory and its historical and confessional context. In detail there are treated its relations to the repertory of the Bohemian Brethren with regard to the tune, lyrics and liturgy. The result of this paper is the new evaluation of this manuscript and its signification to the musical and ecclesiastical history. It also brings important pieces of knowledge about the new form of the Bohemian reformational music of the Jagellonian period. Keywords: Kolín cantional, hymnology, hymn, liturgy, Utraquism, Bohemian Brethen

Music life and important music events at Prague Order of the Cross with Red Star in the 18th century in paper-source background
Veverka, Karel ; Slavický, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kapsa, Václav (referee) ; Maňas, Vladimír (referee)
This dissertation thesis is focused on music performance within the bounds of Order of the Cross with Red Star in the 18th century. The history of the Knight's Order rises from the first half of the 13th century and concerns the only original Czech church order. In the 18th century Knights of the Cross belonged to the most significant patrons of Art in Czech lands. Church and monastery of St. František in Prague, the center of the Order, became the most influential culture center. The charity work of the Order of that time influenced the creation of the extraordinary institution - the Order's menza that had the significant importance for operating of organ lofts of St. František Church because it provided the sufficient amount of singers and musicians. The research is exclusively based on non-music materials deposited in the Cross paper fond (Nr.195) consigned in the 1st department of the National Archives in Prague. According the information of the inventory department, the fond contains altogether 2315 cartons of paper material and 3306 books. Until now, the researchers have been interested in these sources only marginally which was caused mostly by its disorderliness and most important discoveries have been realized mostly just by lucky coincidences. The main part of this work is devoted to St....
