Interaction of classical and rock music in my work
Worek, Michal ; KURZ, Ivan (advisor) ; BARTOŇ, Hanuš (referee)
In my Thesis, I am trying to introduce my concept of interaction of classical and rock music. It is illustrated by concrete compositions how I proceed when composing and which elements are inspired by classical music and which by rock music. I am also citing my inspirational resources from both kinds of music that I am using in my work. The fundamental part of my Thesis is an analysis of my bachelor composition Symphony of Progress which I intend as an example of a balanced interaction of classical and rock music. I consider its ambiguous genre categorization to be one of the proofs. In this case, it is possible to regard it as progressive rock as well as classical music with the use of rock band. Yet every auditor has to judge himself whether I managed to create such a balanced interaction.
