Comparison of Leoncavallo’s and Puccini’s opera La Bohéme
Škandera, Adam ; DOLEŽAL, Vladimír (advisor) ; MELNIK, Natalija (referee)
Bachelor thesis focuses on important figures of the great opera world of the 19th and 20th centuries, Giacomo Puccini and Rugger Leoncavallo. It focuses on the life of both composers and a summary of their opera works. Great emphasis is placed above all on La Bohéme opera, which the two composers wrote almost simultaneously. The work describes the story of both of Bohém, which, although written on the same subject of the novel by Henry Murger Scènes de la Vie de Boheme, are different and each highlights the other components of the story.

Five Poems of Mary Stuart, Op.135 by Robert Schumann
Mourečková, Eliška ; VOTAVOVÁ, Yvona (advisor) ; MELNIK, Natalija (referee)
The song cycle of five songs by Robert Schumann called Poems of Mary Stuart op. 135 is a neglected part of Czech singers´ repertoire, and it is even less involved in Czech music theoretical studies. This thesis aims to contribute to
a better understanding of the work by analyzing the songs in terms of harmonic, formal, semiotic and semantic structure, singing technique and interpretation, thereby promoting a revival of interest in the work itself. To aid a better understanding and classification cycle into the whole context is the work in the first part also provided with brief chapters about the life and work of Robert Schumann and the life of Mary Stuart.

The Songwriting output of Komitas Vardapet
Mkrtchyan, Varine ; MELNIK, Natalija (advisor) ; JONÁŠOVÁ, Jana (referee)
The central theme of this work is the songwriting output of the Armenian composer and intellectual Komitas Vardapet. His difficult life has played an important role in his creative life, which I describe in the first chapter. Komitas Vardapet has become famous as an ethnographer of Armenian folk music, especially songs. In this work, a parallel is made between his being and output through analysis. Thanks to his perfect knowledge of the Armenian language, his dialects, the melody, the history of the nation, and the exquisite feeling, he managed to return the Armenians to their true musical art not only in music but also in words. He has crystallized the unique songs, enticing listeners with their diversity of allegorical texts and deep experience. Some of these songs are thoroughly analyzed in this work.
