This architecture introduced into the town many public buildings that were much larger and taller than the existing ones and styles that had not been used there yet, such as the academic classicism, the Neocolonial language, the Art Deco and the International Style (the last three, created during the above period). The dissertation examines over forty buildings that contributed to the mentioned transformation; they were both new constructions and the result of works of renovation or extension. Most of these buildings appeared during the 25 years comprised between 1916 and 1940 and many of them were produced by the government as part of its policy to embellish the capital of the State. The transformation of the townscape took place mainly at major squares and along the two main traffic routes of the town, one stretching from the north to the south and the other from the east to the west. / Esta dissertação estuda a contribuição da arquitetura pública produzida entre 1900 e 1950 na capital do estado da Paraíba para a transformação da paisagem desta então ocorrida. Tal arquitetura introduziu na cidade muitos prédios públicos bem maiores e altos que os existentes e linguagens que ali não tinham sido usadas ainda, como o classicismo acadêmico, o estilo neocolonial, o art déco e o modernismo as três últimas, criadas no período estudado. A dissertação examina mais de quarenta edifícios que contribuíram para a transformação mencionada; uns eram novas construções, outros eram o resultado de obras de reforma ou ampliação. A maioria dessas edificações surgiram nos 25 anos compreendidos entre 1916 e 1940 e muitas foram produzidas pelo governo, como parte de sua política visando o embelezamento da capital do estado. A transformação da paisagem teve lugar principalmente em praças importantes e ao longo dos dois principais eixos viários da cidade, um se estendendo do norte para o sul e o outro do leste para o oeste.

During World War II the composer Kurt Weill was in America writing for the Broadway stage. On August 27, 1943, he became an American citizen and was eager to volunteer his talent to the American war effort. Among his many wartime musical contributions are fourteen songs, all with war-related texts, which can be divided into three distinct groups: the American propaganda songs (8), the German propaganda songs (2), and the Walt Whitman songs (4). It is the purpose of this paper to present a comparative analysis of a representative group of these war songs (two from each group) in order to illustrate Weill's musical versatility. The American propaganda songs were written in a purely popular song style; sung by Broadway actors; directed toward an American audience; with texts by the Broadway lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II and the Hollywood movie executive Howard Dietz. The German propaganda songs were written in a cabaret song style; sung in German by Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya; directed toward a German audience behind enemy lines; with texts by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht and the German cabaret writer Walter Mehring. The Four Walt Whitman Songs were written in a classical art song style; sung by classically trained singers; directed toward a general audience; with texts by the nineteenth-century American poet Walt Whitman. After an initial discussion of Weill's early musical training and career in Europe, his exile from Germany, his reception in America, and his contributions to the American war effort, each group of war songs is analyzed musically, textually, vocally, in reference to the audience to whom it was directed, and with regards to vocal performance practice. Comparisons and conclusions are then drawn. Kurt Weill's war songs are valuable for musical study, both in terms of examining his ability to write equally well in various musical styles and as an opportunity to learn more about music and society during the turbulent years' of World War II.

Illustration of Czech popular music sheet covers in the first half of the 20th century Abstract This diploma thesis focuses on the visual form of popular music sheet covers published in selected publishers in the first half of the 20th century, especially on small formats of the twenties to forties. Many Czech as well as several foreign artists influenced by various artistic tendencies took part in the artistic processing of the covers. The creation of a large part of them is closely connected with illustration, poster creation and advertising activities. Some artists have been creating covers systematically and we can find their work in several publishers, but for some this activity was only a short episode in their work. The resulting prints of music sheet covers obtained in the institutions that collect them are documented and evaluated here - especially the Music Department of the National Library and the Czech Museum of Music belonging to the National Museum in Prague. In some cases, this section also records the original illustrations stored in the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague, which were very helpful in identifying the artistic practices. It is clear from this diploma thesis that the illustrations of these sheet music, which have not been given space in the literature so far, are an important...
