Description The study deals with two cantatas composed on a Jiří Wolker's poem Ballad of a sailor (Balada o námořníku): Nicholas the Seaman (Námořník Mikuláš, 1929) by Janáček's pupil Vilém Petrželka and The Lighthouse Keeper (Strážce majáku, 1932) by Boleslava Vomáčka. Its purpose is to explain which musical structural means are used in these compositions for the purpose of constitution of their religious contents, and thus contributes to understanding the phenomenon of a search for "alternative religiosity" in a culture of the First Czechoslovak Republic.
