The Application Of Tempo Calculation For Musicological Purposes
Istvanek, Matej
Beat tracking systems capture time positions of beats within digital recordings. Theyare used, for example, in streaming portals, but applications in the musicological analysis are oftenneglected. In this article, two different methods of beat tracking systems are tested—conventionaland the state-of-the-art—on the specific motif of a string quartet music, which is one of the mostcomplex tasks for beat detectors in general. The aim here is to determine which system is better formusicology purposes. This often involves determining not only the position of individual beats andestimating the tempo but also the accuracy of determining their number. Evaluation analysis maybe suitable for comparing the accuracy of detectors, but may not necessarily reflect the requirementsof musicological analysis. The results of selected detectors show that a system based on a recurrentneural network seems to be the most suitable.

Spirituality of Psalms in the Context of Antonín Dvořák's Biblical Songs
Řehák, Miroslav ; Matějek, Jaromír (advisor) ; Sládek, Karel (referee)
Spirituality of Psalms in the Context of Antonín Dvořák's Biblical Songs. The aim of this work is an introduction with general pieces of informations about psalms, about their primary theological scope, about spiritual world and spiritual aspects, because they in fact include the human life in all circumstances. Fundamental commission is to introduce musical work of the czech composer Antonín Dvořák (1841─1904) Biblical Songs. This work includes ten songs. Lyrics of these songs elected Antonín Dvořák himself from the Book of Psalms. This book is a part of the Old Testament. The psalms are not only a prayer of a person. The psalms are a perspective and a dialogue of person and God and the psalms make a relationship with God. Subject matter of this work will be to find a communication between a person and God and the reception of the words of God too. Very important in this case is the state of mind in thoughts and in emotional feelings. The emotional feelings and thoughts are a part of the composer's aith. The composer receives the faith from God and the musical work of art, Biblical Songs, is the answer to God. Keywords Psalm, prayer, spiritual formation, Biblical Songs, Antonín Dvořák, musicology

Musicological bibliographic database
Vozková, Jana
The Musicological Bibliographical Database is a project under the auspices of the Music History Department at the CAS Institute of Ethnology, which carries on from the older bibliographical activities there, as it has been developed and updated on an ongoing basis since 2013, with the emphasis on records of current additions to domestic musicological publication output. It includes monographs, critical editions, anthologies and analytical articles in anthologies and journals, as well as articles in anthologies and journals (with 50 years of the Hudební věda journal completely processed, while other musicological journals are being processed under the VISK9 program), chapters from books, reviews and reports of any importance. This database is based on the ALEPH library cataloguing programme using RDA cataloguing standards that are currently in effect, making use of a connection to the national database of authorities at the Czech National Library. Since 2015 it has been supplemented in the form of database retroconversion by bibliographical records created by transcribing from older printed data bases. At present the database has over 8,000 entries.\n

The music of the Armenian Hymnal: the Tntesean corpus
Utidjian, Haig ; Daněk, Petr (advisor) ; Kindler, Evžen (referee) ; Troelsgaard, Christian Viggo (referee)
Haig Utidjian - Abstract In this thesis we attempt to establish, in as concrete and tangible a manner as possible, the procedures used by Ełia Tntesean (1834-1881) in compiling and redacting his version of the melodies of the Armenian Hymnal, and to place his own endeavour in the context of other attempts to record the melodies of Armenian hymns using the Limōnčean system of musical notation in nineteenth-century Constantinople - at a time when the mediaeval neumatic notation had already become largely intractable. Our approach entails the juxtaposition of Tntesean's musicological articles and paedagogical publications with his transcriptions in Western notation and with his mature realisations of the hymnal melodies in the Limōnčean system, published posthumously in 1934 - treating these sources as a coherent corpus, of which the diverse components are allowed to shed light on each other. Comparison with other hymnals from the same period, the investigation of parallels with the neighbouring practice of Ottoman makams, fieldwork with surviving remnants of the oral tradition, and a critical examination of Tntesean's writings and transcriptions enable us to elucidate aspects of notation and performance practice, and to expose a subtle evolution in aesthetic. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the Tntesean...
