Church Music in Olomouc after 1945 II
The paper deals with the history of church music in the Churches of St. Cyril and Methodius, Virgin Mary Help of Christians, St. Urban, St. Barbara, St. Stephen, St. Andrew, and Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary located in the city districts Hejčín, Hodolany, Holice, Chválkovice, Klášterní Hradisko, Slavonín, and Svatý Kopeček u Olomouce respectively. It presents the liturgical and autonomous music activities of their choirs and the leading personalities connected to the operation of the choirs.
The artistic level of individual choirs reflected the erudition and interpretive capacities of the church musicians. Many of them were recruited from the intellectual elite of the city; numerous organists, choirmasters and singers were the leading personalities of the local musical culture who could skilfully interconnect their ecclesiastical as well as secular activities. The repertoire of most church ensembles consisted of the musical pieces of the 18th, the 19th, and the first half of the 20th century.
