Hymn and its Tradition in Late Medieval Bohemia
Mráčková, Veronika ; Hlávková, Lenka (advisor) ; Vlhová-Wörner, Hana (referee) ; Gancarczyk, Pawel Tomasz (referee)
The Abstract The Hymn and its Tradition in Late Medieval Bohemia Veronika Mráčková, Charles University, Prague The present thesis concerns the monophonic and polyphonic office hymns preserved in late medieval Bohemian sources. The author is mainly focused on the repertoire of the hymns written in Strahov Codex from around 1467. This manuscript of uncertain provenance contains an enormous collection of three- and four- voice polyphonic hymns which show plenty of the local characteristics. These domestic traits may be identified not only through texts devoted to indigenous Saints, but also through the melodies which form the cantus firmus in the upper voice of the hymns. The identification of these monophonic tunes in other plainchant sources could help us to determine the origin of Strahov Codex. Additionally, it is clear that this mensural manuscript contains not only music of a high artistic standard, but also a number of less polished compositions, and that it is thus an important witness to the existence of a wide range of daily musical activities in late medieval Bohemia. A crucial part of this dissertation is a critical edition of the monophonic hymn tunes preserved in Roudnice Psalter, as well as an edition of the selected polyphonic hymns written in Strahov Codex.

Contemporary Trends of Protestant Liturgical Music in the Czech Republic
Dittrichová, Johana ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Nedělka, Michal (referee)
anglicky The diploma thesis Contemporary Trends of Protestant Liturgical Music in the Czech Republic deals mainly with both - musical and unmusical - element of contemporary praise and worship songs used at protestant Sunday services. The aim of praise and worship music in a Sunday service, is to give praise to God, as well as it was in biblical times. Therefore the first chapter of the thesis presents observations about music in the Bible and examines its connections to non-musical ways of praising God, which throws light upon the situation today. The part of the thesis which makes the reader familiar with current situation of protestant liturgical music in the Czech Republic, points out weaknesses in present-day song writing and shows a need of musical education for Christians, who take part in performing music at Church, compose songs and translate them from other languages. There is also a notable trend of adapting hymnbook songs, which therefore become friendlier to younger generation who prefers livelier music. Although there is not any board for protestant liturgical music, there are several influential personalities, whose view on various components of music liturgy and relationship to God's praise are presented in the third chapter. All of them agree on the fact that praising God through...

Art and music in the liturgy according to Joseph Ratzinger
Brábková, Luisa ; Novotný, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Brož, Prokop (referee)
The thesis represents the view of Joseph Ratzinger on the importance, function and place of music in the liturgy in accordance with the conclusions of 2nd Vatican Council - in relations of music and liturgy, with consideration of primary and secondary functions of sacred music. The primary function of liturgical music by J. Ratzinger consists in the support of the Word, secondary function means issue between the church and culture. Ratzinger also offers solutions of other problems - inculturation in liturgical music while maintaining a Christian identity and the development of Christian universalism, conditions provided by church for liturgical composers. The presented texts shoe Ratzinger's priorities for liturgical music, especially musical forms and style. These are the properties which can be viewed from many angles and can have a lot of different results.

Hymnal Mešní zpěvy. The analysis and the usage in the musical pedagogy
Vychytilová, Kristýna ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Bělohlávková, Petra (referee)
The thesis The hymnal Mešní zpěvy. The analysis and the usage in the musical pedagogy suggests a way of usage of Mešní zpěvy in music courses at secondary school. Liturgical music is the important source of knowledge of our musical culture, and of the culture in general too. Mešní zpěvy adds to that knowledge noticeably. The hymns listed there come from elder hymnals, but each has the origins of both music and lyrics traced and attached. This writing provides an analysis of selected hymns and offers how to use them when teaching music. The purpose of the thesis is to show that Mešní zpěvy are suitable in everyday teaching of music. The choice of hymns has been made considering the other subjects too, particularly Czech language and history. The aim is to widen pupils' horizons of historical and cultural heritage. The hymn selection and its involvement in the teaching process has been tried at secondary school.

Czech liturgical formation for children's and women's choirs
Saláková, Leona ; Pecháček, Stanislav (advisor) ; Nedělka, Michal (referee) ; Banáry, Boris (referee)
Ve své disertační práci jsem se zaměřila na českou liturgickou hudbu pro dětské a ženské sbory. V dnešním značně sekularizovaném světě se může zdát, že tato velká oblast hudební kultury stojí na okraji společenského zájmu, a není tedy důvod sejí ve školách a světských sborech zabývat. Jsem ale přesvědčena, že hudba duchovní, potažmo i liturgická do škol i sborů patří. Škola i pěvecký sbor poskytují mladému člověku nejen sumu poznatků a estetických zážitků, ale významným způsobem také ovlivňují jeho výchovu a podílejí se na formování jeho základních morálních hodnot. Kvalitní hudba sama o sobě člověka kultivuje, odvrací ho od konzumního materialismu, rozvíjí cit pro krásno, prohlubuje estetické prožitky a spojuje interprety i posluchače. Toto výchovné působení je podle mého názoru zvlášť silné právě u hudby duchovní. Pro věřícího posluchače nebo interpreta je duchovní hudba spjata s konkrétními náboženskými prožitky, které se těžko zprostředkovávají. Ateistický posluchač sice nemusí pochopit a prožít obsah liturgických textů do takové hloubky, přinejmenším ho ale mohou vést k zamyšlení nad jeho žebříčkem hodnot. Základní znalosti z oblasti duchovní hudby i křesťanských tradic navíc patří k všeobecnému vzdělání, proto je zcela na místě seznamovat s nimi žáky již na základní škole.

Liturgical music in the deanery of Frýdek
FOLDYNOVÁ, Judita
The work deals with the phenomenon of liturgical music in the deanery of Frýdek. The theoretical part describes on what occasions the music in the liturgy is used, what functions arise therefrom and who can take part in the liturgy as far as the music is concerned. The practical part describes how each function of the musical part of the liturgy is applied in each parish of the deanary of Frýdek. The facts were obtained from interviews with local musicians and managers of individual parishes. Overall, there is a wide range of musicians who participate on the liturgy in the Deanery of Frýdek. In the deanery, we can meet all components of liturgical music. However, one person often performs more roles. There is also a frequent cooperation among parishes or within the parish itself. A specific feature of this region is the bilingualism of some parishes .
