Abstract
The paper is part of primary research on the prominent Czech choirmaster, pedagogue, and composer Milan Uherek, the founder of the Severáček children's choir, Liberec, Czech Republic. It focuses on his adaptations of Czech, Moravian, and Slovak folk songs and their inclusion in the repertoire of children's choirs in the Czech Republic. Based on a case study of Severáček graduates, the author examines the degree of popularity of arrangements of folk songs by Milan Uherek and their use in the repertoire of Severáček and other children's choirs in the Czech Republic. Another indicator of the popularity of Uherek's compositions among choral conductors of children's choirs is the statistics on the occurrence of his adaptations and compositions at national competitions of school choirs. Through interviews with influential choirmaster personalities of the Czech Republic and experts, she shows the importance of Milan Uherek in the development of Czech children's choirs.
