Anton Neumann was a Czech German-language composer, active mainly in Moravia, Lower Palatinate, Austria and present-day Poland (Brno, Zweibrücken, Kroměříž, Kraków, Vienna, Olomouc). He was also a violin virtuoso and Kapell­meister whose artistic legacy and significance have not yet been sufficiently discovered and presented. Neumann's compositions are widely distributed in the music collections of Central and Western Europe. His Oratorium Sancti Joannis Nepomuceni is currently housed in the music archives of the Benedictine monastery in Lambach, where his numerous church and secular compositions have been preserved. Neumann's setting...

The Kounitz family archive, housed in the Moravian Provincial Archive, contains a very extensive fund of correspondence with Wenzel Anton of Kounitz-Rietberg, consisting of interesting sets of letters with various personalities of his time. A set of letters by the Italian poet and librettist Ranieri Calzabigi, which is stored here, represents almost the complete surviving correspondence of both persons. Two other letters are stored in another folder of the same archive, and one letter is stored for unknown reasons in the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. We also know of the existence of one letter from Kounitz to Calzabigi, which has survived...

The musical past of today's Slovakia, or the territory of historical Hungary, in the time period from the 15th century towards the first half of the 17th century, is gradually becoming better known thanks to the collaboration of several generations of musicologists. The preserved polyphonic monuments from the church environment have attracted the attention of specialists from several national cultures living in Central Europe as well as music historians from the USA. The present paper intends to highlight certain successful collaborations in the discovery, rescue and identification of music-historical monuments from the Renaissance and early Baroque...

Carissimi ve středoevropském hávu aneb o čem vypovídají dochované kompozice Karla Rabovia, SJ (1619-1686)?

The article follows Emilián Trolda's question about the creative motivation of composing members of the Jesuit order. It follows an edition published in the Fontes musicae in the Polonia series as part of a project on Jesuit musical culture in Poland and Lithuania. It illustrates Trolda's conclusions with two compositions by the Jesuit Karel Rabovius (1619-1686), who met with great acclaim for his compositional skills and was considered the founder of the musical flowering of the St. Wenceslas Seminary in Prague. In line with the conclusions of Jiří Sehnal and other scholars, the study does not attempt to define any stylistic features inherent in Jesuit...

Nové prameny k chrámové hudbě v Hrabyni: mecenáši a hudebně-liturgický provoz slezského poutního místa

New sources on church music in Hrabyně: patrons and the musical-liturgical operations of the Silesian pilgrimage site

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 34(1), (2022):164-177 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2022.007  

The study focuses on newly found sources documenting the financing of the liturgical and musical practice of the Silesian pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Hrabyně. It focuses on the heyday of Hrabyně in the 18th century, when the estate belonged to the Mitrovsky family, as well as on the establishment of foundations and the role of patrons. Financial donations and foundations not only ensured the activities of the chaplain and teacher, but also enabled the purchase of new musical instruments and the construction of an organ. No less important was the introduction of Marian devotions in front of the image of Our Lady of Hrabyně,...
