In the parish chronicles there are also old records of property, which - besides other things - mention the instrumental equipment of the choir loft. Around 1750, Antonín Platnýř let here constructed the organ that had been damaged twice by the fire; after the fire in 1933, its disposition was changed from baroque to romantic.

Theology of music
NOSKOVÁ, Blanka
This thesis deals with relationship of music and theology. It stems from history of development of the philosophic judgement on the notion of ?musica? in antiquity as well as from the contemporary conceptions and definitions of music. Subsequently it proceeds to the presentation of selected writings of both historical and contemporary theologists? dealing with the subject of the art of music. Based on their analysis this thesis comes to the conclusion that a relationship between theology and music indeed exists and their dialog mutually enriches both of these disciplines. Music transcends the limited capabilities of speech and with its own instruments it speaks about the infinite God. This central thought at which the thesis arrives, is concretely documented in musical activities and pieces of work by selected composers of classical music.
