Three 18th-century motets from the St. Vitus Church in Český Krumlov
GONDEKOVÁ, Tereza
The main topic of the bachelor's thesis is the analysis of three compositions from the second half of the 18th century. They come from the choir of the Church of St. Vitus in Český Krumlov. It is vocal sacred music with instrumental accompaniment intended for a performance during festive services. All three compositions belong to the motet genre. The author of two motets is Jan Lohelius Oehlschagel (1724-1788), a composer connected with the Strahov Monastery in Prague. The other author is Carl Ditters of Dittersdorf (1739-1799), an important composer of Viennese origin who spent most of his life in our country. The compositions are available in a digital edition, which includes a critical apparatus as well. The compositions are set into the context of the life and work of their authors and in the context of church music in Bohemia and Cesky Krumlov in the 18th century.

Birth of the Baroque Cantate
Konvalinková, Anna ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Valášek, Marek (referee)
The thesis deals with the birth of the Baroque cantata in Northern and Central Germany. It introduces musical forms that led to the creation of cantata and thus significantly influenced its form, which crystalized during the Late Baroque period. The picture of Early Baroque German music is completed with profiles of three principal composers, on a selection of whose works the gradual development of this new musical form - the German Baroque cantata - is demonstrated. The second part is devoted to an analysis of a work representative of this style, Dietrich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri, which is a supreme example of this musical form.

Short Church Compositions of Georg Reutter in the Music Collection of the State Regional Archive in Český Krumlov.
ČÍŽKOVÁ, Ivana
This bachelor thesis deals with tiny vocal and instrumental pieces of the Viennese composer Georg Reutter (1708-1772) that are stored in the state archive in Český Krumlov. Reutter was the chapelmaster of the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna du-ring the reign of Empress Maria Theresia. His compositions are found in different locations in Bohemia, in Český Krumlov, except for the castle collections also on the choir of the St. Vitus church. Parts of my work are formed by the research carried out in the state archive, by the selection of pieces chosen for their processing and by the compilation of the scores according to preserved individual voices. It includes also the edition in a digital form, description of the compositions and a critical report. The whole work is summarized in the conclusion that recapitulates the obtained findings.

Motet compositions by Carl Luython in the music print Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum... fasciculus primus (1603).
Bilwachs, Jan ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávková, Lenka (referee)
This master thesis deals with the vocal compositions of rudolfine composer and organist Carl Luython. In his collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum ... fasciculus primus, published in 1603 by the Prague printer Georg Nigrin, there are 29 sacred motets. Despite the partial knowledge about Luython's motets in the existing musicological literature is provided, a new revised view with regard to new findings concerning the genre of the motet is required. The master thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the preserved copies of Sacrae cantiones and provides their description and the historical outline of the sources and their probable use. In the second chapter, the problems related to the function of the motet in the second half of the sixteenth century are discussed. The third chapter deals with the collection itself. Criteria for selecting the repertoire, its inner structure and content are considered, which are subsequently analyzed in more detail. The fourth chapter is composed of four case studies concerning the current problems of research. The first case is a motet O domus luminosa, the paraphrase of the Augustine text. In the second case, Luyton's relationship with the Corpus Christi brotherhood is pointed out by the motet Pange lingua. In the latter case the...

The motets from the collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum of Carl Luython and their concordances. Critical edition and analysis of the chosen motets.
Bilwachs, Jan ; Daněk, Petr (advisor) ; Baťa, Jan (referee)
There are concordances to five motets from Carl Luython's collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum... fasciculus primus in Bohemian and German manuscripts and early prints from the turn of the 16th and the 17th centuries, which were not sufficiently evaluated yet. Some records of the motets are not just mere copies of Luython's early-print collection but rather their reworkings. In my thesis I follow up previous research about Luython's motet works. In the first chapter the convolute XI 8ř47, which is the only source that includes a complete specimen of Luython's collection and which represents an evidence about the dissemination of Rudolphinian music, is described. The second chapter deals with the collection itself. The third chapter is divided into four subchapters, each of them dealing with a description of the source in which a certain motet by Luython is preserved, and with a subsequent comparison of all variants that were found. A critical edition draft of the five motets is included.
