Michl, Jakub ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Niubo, Marc (referee)
This dissertation deals with knowledge about the life and work of Johann Alois Lamb - teacher (Kantor) acting in Vrchlabí from the second half of 18th century until his death in 1820. In attempt to set this personality into the cultural context of his time, the initial interest focuses on important contemporary local phenomena such as passion-plays, the Augustinian monastery, theater societies, the local school, and also the residence of Count Morzin. An independent chapter deals with Lamb's life, his work in school and musical activities. The chapter about his work is dedicated to musical sources, the authenticity of their authorship and provenience of single copies, then followed by a brief analysis of Lamb's composition. The appendix contains the present proposal of the thematic catalogue with lists of questionable and confuted compositions, and also a diplomatic transcription of Lamb's miniature oratorio Der gute Samaritan.
