Contemporary Trends of Protestant Liturgical Music in the Czech Republic
Dittrichová, Johana ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Nedělka, Michal (referee)
anglicky The diploma thesis Contemporary Trends of Protestant Liturgical Music in the Czech Republic deals mainly with both - musical and unmusical - element of contemporary praise and worship songs used at protestant Sunday services. The aim of praise and worship music in a Sunday service, is to give praise to God, as well as it was in biblical times. Therefore the first chapter of the thesis presents observations about music in the Bible and examines its connections to non-musical ways of praising God, which throws light upon the situation today. The part of the thesis which makes the reader familiar with current situation of protestant liturgical music in the Czech Republic, points out weaknesses in present-day song writing and shows a need of musical education for Christians, who take part in performing music at Church, compose songs and translate them from other languages. There is also a notable trend of adapting hymnbook songs, which therefore become friendlier to younger generation who prefers livelier music. Although there is not any board for protestant liturgical music, there are several influential personalities, whose view on various components of music liturgy and relationship to God's praise are presented in the third chapter. All of them agree on the fact that praising God through...

Czech liturgical formation for children's and women's choirs
Saláková, Leona ; Pecháček, Stanislav (advisor) ; Nedělka, Michal (referee) ; Banáry, Boris (referee)
Ve své disertační práci jsem se zaměřila na českou liturgickou hudbu pro dětské a ženské sbory. V dnešním značně sekularizovaném světě se může zdát, že tato velká oblast hudební kultury stojí na okraji společenského zájmu, a není tedy důvod sejí ve školách a světských sborech zabývat. Jsem ale přesvědčena, že hudba duchovní, potažmo i liturgická do škol i sborů patří. Škola i pěvecký sbor poskytují mladému člověku nejen sumu poznatků a estetických zážitků, ale významným způsobem také ovlivňují jeho výchovu a podílejí se na formování jeho základních morálních hodnot. Kvalitní hudba sama o sobě člověka kultivuje, odvrací ho od konzumního materialismu, rozvíjí cit pro krásno, prohlubuje estetické prožitky a spojuje interprety i posluchače. Toto výchovné působení je podle mého názoru zvlášť silné právě u hudby duchovní. Pro věřícího posluchače nebo interpreta je duchovní hudba spjata s konkrétními náboženskými prožitky, které se těžko zprostředkovávají. Ateistický posluchač sice nemusí pochopit a prožít obsah liturgických textů do takové hloubky, přinejmenším ho ale mohou vést k zamyšlení nad jeho žebříčkem hodnot. Základní znalosti z oblasti duchovní hudby i křesťanských tradic navíc patří k všeobecnému vzdělání, proto je zcela na místě seznamovat s nimi žáky již na základní škole.

Nedbalová, Josefína ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis consists of three parts. The first one describes the historical role of psalms during masses from their origin until presence. It illuminates the new role of psalms in the Cathlolic liturgy after the second Vatican council and outlines how these liturgical changes projected into Czech Catholic enviroments. The second part introduces significant Czech psalters and their authors. The psalters were created for liturgical needs and in reaction to the conclusions of the 2VC for liturgical needs. The third, main part of the thesis consists of detailed analysis of 1992 Karel Sklenička's psalter Responsoriální žalmy pro neděle a významné dny liturgického roku. The analysis of harmonic and melodic procedures of individual tones serves as a basis for the practival part of the thesis which is an extension of existing Sklenička's psalter to all days of liturgical year. The new psalter preserves the music component composed by Karel Sklenička and also preserves the way of work with the liturgical text in new psalms following the pattern of Karel Sklenička. The new psalter keeps strictly to the liturgically prescribed texts for individual liturgical occasions like the psalter from 1992.
