Language of Music: Claudio Monteverdi as an Innovator in the Field of Dealing With Text in Music
Kroupová, Sylvie ; Valášek, Marek (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
TITLE: THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC: Claudio Monteverdi as an innovator in the field of dealing with text in music. SUMMARY: The main topic of this Thesis is Claudio Monteverdi's work and its importance for the development of dealing with text in music of the late Renaissance and early Baroque period. In Monteverdi's compositions we can follow the evolution of counterpoint techniques reaching from the traditional 16th century vocal polyphony to the purely monodic approach to composition that is typical of Baroque music. The text works as a creative element that affects the author's way of working, leading him from the first experiments with the musical representation of each word in the madrigal to a dramatic expression of the text in the style of opera. In his work Monteverdi uses wordpainting to an unprecedented extent. He invents new musical expression for words that contain a strong emotional charge, like subtle rhythmic figures for joyful words, or sharp dissonances for words conveying pain. He is the first composer to achieve excellence in combining flawless technical skill with the dramatic line of the composition. His work forms an imaginary bridge between music of two periods: in the first period text is perceived as a mere "servant" of music but becomes the "ruler" of it in the later one. The Thesis...

Birth of the Baroque Cantate
Konvalinková, Anna ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Valášek, Marek (referee)
The thesis deals with the birth of the Baroque cantata in Northern and Central Germany. It introduces musical forms that led to the creation of cantata and thus significantly influenced its form, which crystalized during the Late Baroque period. The picture of Early Baroque German music is completed with profiles of three principal composers, on a selection of whose works the gradual development of this new musical form - the German Baroque cantata - is demonstrated. The second part is devoted to an analysis of a work representative of this style, Dietrich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri, which is a supreme example of this musical form.

Musical Life in Česká Lípa Region After 1945
Bendová, Eliška ; Valášek, Marek (advisor) ; Stříteská, Leona (referee)
Česká Lípa is a district seat located in the Liberec region. It had served as an important traffic junction since the Middle Ages because of its situation near the German and Polish borders. Thus, cultural customs and traditions of neighbouring countries and especially of the German majority had played a significant role in cultural events in the town and its surroundings. After both the World War I and the World War II, old residents and also new incomers endeavoured to re-establish or build a new background for the town's social life. Despite the fact that the majority of the post-war period was affected by the communist regime, the citizens set up clubs, organized competitions or festivals and by doing so, in many cases, they unknowingly built traditions that have been preserved till present days and are living inspiration for new generations of Česká Lípa inhabitants. Both the work of our ancestors and their legacy is extremely valuable cultural heritage. Due to the limited range of the diploma thesis and the author's specialization, this thesis focuses particularly on musical institutes and choirs in the region Česká Lípa. Unfortunately, the extant materials do not cover all musical activities, ensembles, personalities and events related to them since the World War II. It is worth mentioning...

Influences of the sociocultural environment on forming the music interests of secondary school pupils
Mikulová, Radka ; Váňová, Hana (advisor) ; Valášek, Marek (referee)
Resume (AJ) The diploma thesis deals with the influences of sociocultural environment on the formation (shaping) of the music interests of pupils. Two factors influence the music development of children - inherited dispositions and abilities; and the influence of the environment. It is necessary to stimulate the development of abilities. Without this stimulation even the most talented child can't be successful. The first influential factor is a family, especially in the early child's years. Later on, it is a school and musically-educational process. Music interests are further formed by television and radio, the Internet, or friends and the environment where one moves. Nowadays, pupils have the opportunity to do various activities in their leisure time. They can attend different clubs and courses, learn English or another foreign language, get educated in music or another field, spend time chatting with their friends, playing computer games or watching films. How to provide pupils with being interested in music? At one time, Prof. Václav Holzknecht wrote that it is necessary to take care of transferring music towards people on time and suitably. It was said that people had to recognize music and become fond of it - and this can be achieved only during children and young ages. To achieve good results, two...
