Tato diplomová práce je výzkumem žánru hudebního divadla (music theatre). Mým záměrem je prověřit, jak může využití hudby a zvuku jako hlavních komponent inscenace otevřít nové struktury a metody v divadelním procesu a výsledné inscenaci. Tento žánr je v situaci neustálého zkoumání, což vede k tomu, že umělci nacházejí nové metody pro svou uměleckou práci. Tuto diplomovou práci začínám menším výzkumem o sluchu a funkci uší v divadelním kontextu. V této části se zaměřuji na základní poznatky o tom, jak používáme své uši při návštěvě divadla. Pokračuji psaním o žánru hudebního divadla z historického hlediska. Hudebním divadlem ve starém Řecku počínaje a hudebním divadlem naší doby konče; zaměřuji se na různé formy, umělce a události, které jsou pro hudební divadlo a jeho vývoj důležité. Dále píšu o pojmu hudební divadlo a jeho mnoha definicích, a ještě předtím, než ukončím tuto kapitolu, představením režiséry a skladatele Nikolaje Cederholma a Heinera Goebbelse. Analyzuji dvě různé hudebně-divadelní inscenace: Cederholmovu s názvem Teaterkoncert Beethoven a Goebbelsovu Stifters Dinge, abych získal hlubší pochopení jejich metod a vizí ohledně hudebního divadla. Zaměřuji se na rozdíly a podobnosti obou inscenací. Další část mé práce je věnována mé vlastní zkušenosti z tvorby hudebního divadla. Dělím se o své myšlenky a úvahy o dvou procesech zkoušení a inscenacích, které jsem režíroval v závěrečném ročníku studia. Poslední část práce tvoří diskuse a úvaha o výzkumu, který jsem udělal, o zkušenostech, které jsem ohledně hudby a zvuku v divadle získal, a také o tom, jak to může otevřít nové struktury a metody práce v divadelním kontextu.

The main focus of the thesis is the determination and discussion of factors affecting the developement of harmonic field. The main factors are the importance and significance of individual tones and chords, their mutual influencing and organization, and their relationship to the time component of the composition. I attempt to find out how can these factors help us to comprehend the harmony of composition. I define the general tectonic scheme, that is related to the theory of harmonic field and I consider it to be its extension. The second part of the work is focusing on traditionally used terms and I´m trying to discuss how the determined factors manifest in them. I pay attention to the terms of the common-practice harmony and also to the modern harmony. I?m exploring the ideas of Miroslav Filip (The Regularities of Developement of Common-Practice Harmony), Karel Janeček (The Foundations of Modern Harmony, Tectonics) and Vladimír Tichý (Harmonic Field). The third part of the work contains three analysis of various pieces of diverse composers (Mozart, Webern, Feldman). I´ve tried to analyse these compositions on the basis of foregoing premises so I could prove the applicableness of my thoughts.
