Compositions for Violin by Modern Greek and Cypriot Composers Solon Michaelides, Alkis Baltas and Andreas Argyrou
Chira, Kyriaki ; Kubátová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)

It is necessary to mention the current violent division between the Greek and Turkish people has still not been overcome. This conflict has left an indelible mark on musical traditions. Cypriot folklore is also reflected in the work of the modern generation of composers. I believe that Cypriot classical music is a not very commonly known issue in the Czech Republic, and I have written this thesis in the hopes that it will increase awareness of Cypriot music. In this Diploma thesis I introduce three modern composers from Cyprus and Greece: Solon Michaelides (1905- 1979), Alkis Baltas (*1948) and Andreas Argyrou (*1957) and their compositions for violin. I focus...

TECTONICS OF THE 20th AND 21st CENTURY MUSIC FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF COMPLEX ANALYSIS OF MUSIC STRUCTURE
Krejča, Tomáš ; TICHÝ, Vladimír (advisor) ; KVĚCH, Otomar (referee)
This dissertation tries systematicaly contain rarely reflected phenomenon of tectonics. Its aim is to explore tectonics as a dynamic process of structuring focused on the structures of 20th and 21st century music.
This thesis portrays tectonics as a comprehensive tool of articulation of music and sound material in general. It reflects the current state of research on home field and brings partial views of the world, where, however, faces terminological difference and practical absence of tectonics as a term and as a musicological field or discipline. Tectonics conceived as a systematic discipline reflecting the tectonics as a phenomenon is to some extent the Czech (Czechoslovak) specifics. Within its own concept of tectonics of contemporary music the thesis presents general tectonic scheme of the structuring process. In the range of this work is structure defined as a system and some tectonic functions and principles are described too. The dissertation, however is honestly trying, not aspire to be a comprehensive, complete and systematicly perfect concept of tectonics. In terms of variability and evolution of musical language, which is tectonics an organic part of, it is not even possible. Nevertheless, we believe that this thesis will provide useful insight and possible introduction to closer examination of tectonics as a key phenomenon of structuring the musical substance.
