Diploma thesis Organicity as an aesthetic concept in contemporary music tries through interdisciplinary comparison to point out possible manifestations of organics in a musical context. By organicity is meant the holistic understanding of a music work as an „organism“, in which the whole is to the part as the part is to the whole and which is manifested primarily by its sound shape. The text describes how the concrete musical parameters relate to the organic form and how they model it. The author first defines basic organic characteristics such as homogeneity, causality, non-geometry, processuality, or continuity of the form and then demonstrates them on numerous note examples. It does not create a new theory but seeks to point out the universality of this phenomenon both from the historical point of view and in its current forms. Attention is paid to various types of musical perception, time experience and perception of sound form. The terms „sound object“ and „sound gesture“ integrate into a new context and proposes a new typology of musical processes. The work briefly touches on the origin of thinking about organicity in philosophical and aesthetic discourse.

This paper defines the function of the bass as the basis of harmonic hierarchy at first. After that the different forms of the bass in particular periods of time are followed. Then the problem of suppressing a bass in avant-garde music of the 20th century is brought forward; its new comeback is found in the minimal and the spectral music. The thesis is based on the concept of the affinity of principles which are responsible for the harmonic and the rhythmic hierarchy; this is the reason why the bass function can emerge also in a form of the rhythmic pulsation.
