K vývoji české chrámové hudby ve 20. století

Abstract

Music in Czech catholic churches during the 20th century was influenced by various styles of composition plus the function of both artificial and also popular music. In addition to these, other main influences included aspects of European and contemporary church history, such as: the Motu proprio (1903) of Pope Pio X; World Wars I and II; the start of the totalitarian system in 1948; the results of the 2nd Vatican Council; and the fall of communism in 1989. This study presents aspects of repertoire, the most important composers, the organisation of church choirs as well as the concert activities of church musicians.
