Music and Musical Culture in the Old Town of Prague 1526 - 1620
Baťa, Jan ; Černý, Jaromír (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee) ; Hulková, Marta (referee)
This disertation is a contribution to our knowledge of music and musical culture in the Old Town of Prague between 1526 and1620. The first methodological chapter, Musical culture of a Renaissance city as a topic, discusses different views on the problem of musical culture in the city, both in domestic and foreign academic literature. This text is followed by a survey of the present state of research entitled Musical Culture in the Old Town of Prague 1526-1620 in the light of present literature. It focuses only on the items that contributed significantly to the topic. The third chapter, Focus on the musical privacy of Prague citizens in the period before the Battle of the White Mountain, opens the main part of the dissertation with the results of newly-undertaken research. It discusses eight concrete samples of inventories and shows the presence of musical scores and instruments in citizens' households and their function in life in those times. The fourth chapter, Musical Culture in the Old Town of Prague 1526-1620 viewed through preserved musical sources tries to focus broadly on those preserved musical manuscripts, that can be attributed to a specific place. The following chapter, The Gradual of Trubka of Roviny, is closely related to the previous one. It is a detailed examination of one of the...

Staff notation in sources of the St. George's monastery in Prague
Mráčková, Veronika ; Černý, Jaromír (referee) ; Eben, David (advisor)
Soubor notovaných rukopisů ženského benediktinského kláštera sv. Jiří v Praze, zaznamenávajících zpívanou liturgii, je pozoruhodný mimořádně vysokým počtem dochovaných pramenů. Tato široká kolekce rukopisů, pocházejících z jedné instituce, není obvyklá ani v evropském měřítku. Rukopisy nicméně kladou dodnes řadu nezodpovězených otázek, týkajících se především provenience a datace kodexů. 23 zpracovávaných rukopisů1 spadá do období od II. poloviny 13. stol. do I. čtvrtiny 15. stol. Počet pramenů však nemůžeme považovat za konečný. Rukopisy na první pohled vykazují rozmanitost notačních typů a písařských rukou, což klade otázky směřující k působení skriptoria sv. Jiří a původnosti kodexů vůbec. Zajímavostí rukopisů je převažující métsko-gotická notace, na rozdíl od pramenů pražské diecéze, kde se vyskytuje notace rhombická. Zdrojem výše uvedených pramenů mi byla Národní knihovna České republiky (v jednom případě Knihovna Národního muzea). Tématem chorální notace v pramenech kláštera sv. Jiří se dosud uceleně nikdo nezabýval. Názvy notačních typů jednotlivých svatojiřských rukopisů můžeme sledovat v publikaci Catalogus codicum notis musicis instructorum Václava Plocka2, který však v typologii notací vychází z dnes již nevyhovujícího systému Josefa Huttera3. Cílem této práce je na základě studií příbuzných...

The studies and editions to the history of music in Bohemia in 15th and 16th centuries
Horyna, Martin ; Černý, Jaromír (advisor) ; Havlík, Jaromír (referee) ; Daněk, Petr (referee)
This dissertation focuses on several questions of the music history in Bohemia in the 15th and 16th centuries. Parts of the dissertation were published (or are to be published) as individual articles or prefaces to music editions. The general aim of the thesis is to explain various important phenomena connected with the Czech music culture of the late medieval era and the Renaissance. The methods applied within the individual chapters correspond with their specific topics. The content of the music editions is connected with descriptions of sources based on source critics, with problems of music analysis, relations of music and lyrics, music and liturgy, composition techniques, modality. The individual essays deal with more general questions such as surviving structures of medieval polyphony in the 15th and 16th centuries, relations of whole groups of sources and their users, institutional background of musicmaking, and the relation of the specific confessional development of the Bohemian Kingdom with the particularities of local musical life and production.

Repertoire of songs for one voice of Advent and Christmas period in manuscripts from the workshop of Jan Taborsky from Klokotska Hora
Žižková, Jitka ; Černý, Jaromír (advisor) ; Frei, Jan (referee) ; Kouba, Jan (referee)
The presented work dealing with the repertoire of sacred songs for one voice in handwritten hymnbooks of Jan Taborsky from Klokotska Hora tries to answer the question whether the fact that they come from one clerical workshop influenced considerably the composition of the repertoire of the Advent and Christmas section or not. The essay about the development of the Czech hymnology, oriented for a medieval and Renaissance sacred song, points out the state of research in this field, which is not quite optimal. Mainly the absence of published catalogues of melodies and critical editions of significant sources is still a big obstacle of the research, which should head farther than for covering of white gaps in the basic heuristics. Nevertheless we point out some works here which offer and enable certain comparisons regarding both studies in specialized periodicals and degree works or PhD thesis. We follow the Prague citizen, Renaissance educated person and the owner of a clerical workshop Jan Taborsky not only in the context of the times when he lived taking account of the complicated situation of connections and antagonisms among the Utraquists, New Utraquists and Fraternal Unity {Jednota bratska}, but also as a topic of studies of musicological or generally historical literature. A list and characteristics of...

Baťová, Eliška ; Černý, Jaromír (referee) ; Daněk, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with the Czech cantional held in The Kolín Regional Museum and its importance to hymnology. Both the complete external description of the source and the analysis of its contents is made. Attention is paid primarily to the liturgical use of the repertory and its historical and confessional context. In detail there are treated its relations to the repertory of the Bohemian Brethren with regard to the tune, lyrics and liturgy. The text concludes with a new evaluation of the manuscript and its significance for musical and ecclesiastical history and brings important contributions to our knowledge about the form of the Bohemian reformation music during the Jagellonian period.

Count Wenzel Morzin's orchestra
Kapsa, Václav ; Černý, Jaromír (advisor) ; Perutková, Jana (referee) ; Sehnal, Jiří (referee)
The present work treats the phenomenon of court orchestras (Kapellen) in Czech lands during High Baroque, in the period delimitated by the reign of Charles VI. Its aim was not, however, to cover the theme in its totality, but to document and analyse the hitherto little-noticed Prague orchestra of Count Wenzel Morzin (1675-1737), providing material for future synthesis and offering a pendant to the existing works of this kind, which have focused mainly on Kapellen of Moravian provenience. In the history of music, Count Wenzel Morzin is known mostly owing to his contact with the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. It was Count Morzin to whom Vivaldi has dedicated his collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione op. 8 containing the famous violin concertos, Le quattro stagioni. Besides, Vivaldi made a laudatory comment about Morzin's Kapelle in one of his letters. In various, mostly isolated contexts we find mentions of other musicians as well as the music of composers related to Count Morzin and his orchestra. The aim of this work was to interconnect these mutually unrelated sources and document the personal / instrumental constitution and development of the orchestra by means of archive research based primarily on sources of accounting and registration nature. The work looks at the Morzin Kapelle at...

Na zaklade veskerych dosavadnich vyzkumu lze nyni uvest uplny souhrn udaju k Benediktovym tiskum.
