- Liturgical Music after Vatican II. in the Czech Republic The beginnings of the sacred music on our territory are connected with the outset of Christianity in the 2nd half of the 9th century. In more than thousand years the development of the sacred music went through many stages, from choral and one-voice religious songs to magnificient vocal-instrumental works. From all these periods musical compositions have been preserved which prove a variety of interpretation of liturgical texts as well as the invention of composers. Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican summarized the informations about sacred music into the constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, specifically in the chapter Num. 6. The sacred music should be based in gregoriant chant, which is the most important wealth of the Church. The basic language is Latin, but there is a big area for the national languages.

Vaňková, Marie ; Opatrný, Aleš (advisor) ; Kotas, Jan (referee)
In my bachelor thesis, I tried to elucidate what is the role of the liturgy in the education of pre-school children in Christian families. I paid attention especially to participation of children in messes. I was searching the answer for those questions: why the participation of children in liturgy is advisable, what does the Church write about this problem in some documents and directives, and how to realize this very important part of Christian education of children. I elaborated the Church directives determining the participation of children in liturgy so that they could be used in practice as often as possible. I paid special attention to the problematics of preparation of children for the liturgy. I mean the direct preparation as well as the indirect preparation which helps a child to be prepared as human. It is the matter of parents to introduce their children in liturgy. The parents promise it when they have their child or children baptized. The family background is the first and the most important place for the development and formation of child's faith. That's why I attended to the problematics of Christian families, their mission and also their problems which influence the education of children. All measures which are taken in children's religious education should help the children to...
