The Active Music Reception
Šulanová, Silvie ; Herden, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Hurníková, Kateřina (referee)
Listening to music in the process of education is beneficial for a pupil only in case it is realized by means of active creativeness. To meet this requirement specific activities concerning music listening are applied in the framework of receptive music teaching. The dissertation proposes a so called dynamic model to function as an ideal solution to didactic transformation of music. The model enables to set up such classroom conditions in which pupils find it easier to observe elementary items and structures of music and thus comprehend music speech as a whole. Naturally then, a presentation of a particular piece of music via this model depends on teacher's abilities and skills. Nonetheless, the achieving of success in receptive music teaching is determined primarily by pupils' profundity and intensity of reception. Teaching pupils to listen to music in an active way represents teaching them to handle music through the use of creative musical activities and simple cognitive processes. In other words, on the basis of their own activities pupils penetrate into basic essentials of music i.e. they analyze music, identify its functional elements, detect structural constituents of music and thus decode its message. Consequently, they are able to employ acquired knowledge and experience in an analogical musical...

The Renaissance in Musical Education at Secondary Schools
Tomšíčková, Marie ; Herden, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Hurníková, Kateřina (referee)
Early music seems to be rather unpopular with both students and their teachers at secondary schools. The reasons of this fact vary from case to case. Some consider it too remote from the contemporary world and as such they see no reason why it should be a part of general education. Some teachers may like the music but do not know how to make it appealing for the students. This is why I chose the Renaissance music as the topic of my diploma thesis. I think the music is still very attractive, even though about 500 years old. It can be profound and funny, complex and simple, graceful and rough as much as the Renaissance people were. In the first part of my work I have analyzed the school curriculum and the current textbooks to see to what extent the students are expected to learn about the early music and what sources do they and their teachers have to use. The second part comprises my own project of five ninety-minute meetings in which students experience both the authentic music (listening activities) and lively work such as elementary composition, dances, and class orchestra performance. The students are supposed to share the preparation for the meetings by preparing short presentations. These presentations are planned in such way that altogether they should create the whole picture of the Renaissance...

Jan Antonín Reichenauer - Church music with Regards to Litanies
Semerád, Vojtěch ; Hurníková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Stříteská, Leona (referee)
8. Summary Jan Antonin Reichenauer was a prominent Prague composer in the first third of the eighteenth century. Although church music forms a fundamental part of his compositional output, he was also a renowned composer of instrumental works. Liturgical compositions, masses, motets, offertories, sacred arias, litanies and vespers, frequently inaccurately marked with the name of the composer (Reichenaur, Reichenau), were performed by church choirs both in Prague and beyond. In addition to Czech music collections and archives (the Prague Castle Archive, the Music Collection ofthe Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, compositions from monastery collections assembled in the Czech Museum of Music) many instrumental compositions have been preserved in Dresden, Wiesentheid, Darmstadt and Vratislav. Reichenauer's work was influenced by the Neopolitan School of the first half of the eighteenth century, particularly by the works ofF. Durant a D. Sarr. Very little is known about his life. I found a lot of information in the church records of christenings and deaths in Prague's Little Quarter. Evidence of his activities in Prague as a composer of instrumental and church music in the aristocratic ensemble of Count Vac1av Morzin dates from about the year 1723. Concurrently with his position as composer to the...
