The Bass as a Manifestation of Periodicity in Music
Esterle, Vojtěch ; MRKVIČKA, Luboš (advisor) ; HOŘÍNKA, Slavomír (referee)
This paper defines the function of the bass as the basis of harmonic hierarchy at first. After that the different forms of the bass in particular periods of time are followed. Then the problem of suppressing a bass in avant-garde music of the 20th century is brought forward; its new comeback is found in the minimal and the spectral music. The thesis is based on the concept of the affinity of principles which are responsible for the harmonic and the rhythmic hierarchy; this is the reason why the bass function can emerge also in a form of the rhythmic pulsation.
On the Question of transcendent Time in Music
Míšek, Jakub ; TICHÝ, Vladimír (advisor) ; MATOUŠEK, Vlastislav (referee)
The concern of this thesis is the relationship between music and time, more precisely a specific kind of temporality, which is known as transcendent, sacred, sacral or "the third" time. This text is meant to be an introduction into the subject matter. At first the relationship between musical and non-musical time is discussed. Then the phenomenon of transcendent time is put into the relationship with theories of musical time presented by other, both Czech and foreign, authors. The last part of this paper contains an exemplary listing of composer strategies which can help in inducing an experience of transcendent time. These strategies are demonstrated on songs and compositions originating in different genres and cultures.
Theology of music
NOSKOVÁ, Blanka
This thesis deals with relationship of music and theology. It stems from history of development of the philosophic judgement on the notion of ?musica? in antiquity as well as from the contemporary conceptions and definitions of music. Subsequently it proceeds to the presentation of selected writings of both historical and contemporary theologists? dealing with the subject of the art of music. Based on their analysis this thesis comes to the conclusion that a relationship between theology and music indeed exists and their dialog mutually enriches both of these disciplines. Music transcends the limited capabilities of speech and with its own instruments it speaks about the infinite God. This central thought at which the thesis arrives, is concretely documented in musical activities and pieces of work by selected composers of classical music.
