The Compositions of Jan Nepomuk Vocet (1777-1843) in the Collection from the St. Nicolaus Cathedral in České Budějovice, a Study and Edition
ŽIŽKOVÁ, Lenka
A collection of music created mainly in the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century was found at the choir loft of the Cathedral of St Nicholas in Budweis. Jáchym Štěpánovský and J. N. Vocet were two local composers and choir administrators who primarily helped to create this music collection. Jan Nepomuk Vocet who used to work at the choir of St Nicholas Cathedral was a significant person. He belongs to a lesser - known group of composers at the turn of the period of Classicism and Romanticism and that's why I chose him as the main topic of my diploma theses. The aim of this work is to evaluate Vocet's influence in Budweis music scene, to give an idea of his church music, popularize the chosen pieces of his music in edition and analyse it in detail.

LIFE AND WORK OF W. A. MOZART FOCUSED ON ‘THE MAGIC FLUTE’ OPERA
Kfelíř, Daniel ; KUSNJER, Ivan (advisor) ; MÁROVÁ, Libuše (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis deals with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his opera The Magic
Flute. The primary aim of the Thesis is to give the reader an insight into the life and work
of the classicistic composer, focusing closely on The Magic Flute. In the first part the author
concentrates on its origin and development, followed by description of the piece's story
and individual characters. Since the author particularly favours the role of Papageno,
its famous aria Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen is analysed both harmonically and formally
in more detail. That part is considered the author's own contribution. The subsequent sections
of the Thesis concern the current programme of The National Theatre in Prague, which has
been offering The Magic Flute as a part of its repertoire for three years. The author also
mentions the small stage (Black Box) of the New Theatre in Pilsen, where an adaptation
of The Magic Flute, Papageno In the Enchanted Forest, is played for children's audience.
The Thesis should be useful to all readers interested in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and
his opera The Magic Flute.

In the Footsteps of Vladimír Franz
SWIERSOVIČ, Magdaléna
Vladimir Franz is a fascinating individuality of the czech culture scene. He is famous mainly for his visage, tattoos all over his body and face. Unfortunately nearly nobody knows his opinions, mind and amazing music. My essay is about the life and work of Vladimir Franz. It is an analysis of work and personality of this composer, teacher and last but not least painter.
