Studie Jarmily Procházkové se zabývá písněmi hudebního skladatele Leoše Janáčka, které byly inspirovány srbskou kulturní tradicí., This study is concerned with determining the previously unknown textual sources for Janáček’s lost chorus Ženich vnucený (The Enforced Bridegroom) from 1873, the composition of which testifies, as does that of his chorus Osudu neujdeš (You Cannot Escape Your Fate), to the composer’s interest at that time in South Slavic folklore. He took the texts for both pieces from the collection Zpěvy lidu srbského (Songs of the Serbian People) – Vol. I, Prague 1872 – in Czech translations by Siegfried Kapper (1821–1879), in which Kapper presented to the Czech public folk poetry from the collections of Vuk Stefanoviç Karadžiç (1787–1864). Kapper’s edition of the Czech translation was known also by Antonín Dvořák and Josef Suk, who used it in their vocal works composed to translations of Serbian folk texts., Jarmila Procházková., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 402, anglický abstrakt 393.
Johannes Tourout is known to us from several Central European music sources and from a Vatican document dated 3 July 1460, which mentions him as a cantor of Emperor Frederick III. The author establishes a timeframe for his period of activity in Central Europe (late 1450s before 1467) and postulates several hypotheses concerning the composers career. The author has reconstructed the personnel of the imperial cantors ensemble around the year 1460 and provides detailed biographies of its members., Pawel Gancarczyk., Rubrika: Studie, and České resumé na s. 257, anglický abstrakt na s. 239.
Studie Jarmily Gabrielové se zabývá inspiračními předlohami libreta k opeře "Vanda" hudebního skladatele Antonína Dvořáka a zaměřuje se rovněž na dramaturgickou strukturu díla., The article deals with select adaptations of the Vanda-theme in the 19th century dramatic writing (Zacharias Werner, Tekla Łubieńska, Francyszek Więżyk, and Matija Ban). On the basis of these works, possible models for the libretto of Antonín Dvořák’s Vanda op. 25 are discussed., Jarmila Gabrielová., Rubrika: Studie, and Německé resumé na s. 245, anglický abstrakt na s. 233.
Studie Evy Velické se zabývá okolnostmi vzniku a rané recepci první opery hudebního skladatele Bohuslava Martinů "Voják a tanečnice"., The first opera by Bohuslav Martinů (from the total of 16) named Voják a tanečnice (The Soldier and the Dancer), H.162 was created in the initial years of Martinů’s stay in Paris (1926–1927), when the effort to reflect different contemporary music trends and influences can be traced in his compositions. Voják a tanečnice is an original example of absorbing such influences. Together with the librettist, Jan Löwenbach, they tried to create a “new opera buffa”, which was not understood by the contemporary reviewers. The opera was first performed in Brno in 1928. The frequency of the first performances of Martinů’s stage works in the National Theatre in Brno indicates that the first performance of his first opera was not a coincidence but a part of targeted dramaturgy at the Brno stage., Eva Velická., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 167, anglický abstrakt 139.
Studie Elišky Baťové se zabývá dosud nepříliš hodnocenou koncepcí liturgického roku v duchovních písních od biskupa Jednoty bratrské a teologa Jana Augusty., The goal of the present study is to bring together the questions of hymnological research with the history of the liturgy and homiletics. In the integrated liturgical conception of Jan Augusta as it is known to us thanks to two Viennese manuscripts and a newly processed, unique printed document from the Unity of the Brethren church, these areas cannot be separated, since they mutually support each other to create a whole. The author has therefore dedicated herself to the broader context of the creating of a new arrangement of Biblical readings and songs in the Unity of the Brethren church, regarding which there were disputes from its inception in 1545 until the deaths of Jan Blahoslav and of Jan Augusta in 1572., Eliška Baťová., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 43, anglický abstrakt 33.
Discantus and Altus part-books (sign. NM-CMH AZ 84) were made by the later binding of component parts consisting of four prints and five manuscripts from the 1540s through about the 1590s. For the first time, the professional community can familiarize itself with their external description and contents. Those contents consist predominantly of compositions intended for Vespers (Magnificat settings and hymns). Special attention is paid to two Magnificat settings Bohemian Christmas and Easter songs in the discant part. For each of the twelve songs, the oldest known incidences of their melody and text were identified, and transcriptions of the songs are also included. The discant part-book AZ 84 represents an indispensable source for the genesis of some of the songs (Všem věc divná, neslýchaná [To All Something Strange, Unheard-Of], Hory se zelenají [The Hills Turn Green], Plešíc již všecko stvoření [All Creation Now Rejoicing], Šalomúnovy postele šedesáte ostříhalo [Sixty Men around Solomons Bed]), Dagmar Štefancová., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 22.
This study deals with the heretofore unknown activity of Leoš Janáček at the two main museum institutes in Brno. It asserts that from ca. 1888 until the end of his life, Leoš Janáček was a member of the Brno Museum Association, and it also makes reference to previously unknown sources from scholarly literature to which he had access as a member of the association. A surprising discovery is that the composers participation in the German-Czech Moravian Museum Society from 1900 was connected with the creation of the first collection of Moravian composers manuscripts (1903) and with an attempt to obtain financial support from the Provincial Committee for a printed edition of works by Moravian composers. We thus get a more complete picture of Janáčeks interactions and contacts in the environment of the Czech and German intellectuals who surrounded him and of the composers involvement in professional activities., Jarmila Procházková., Obsahuje seznam literatury, Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 350.
