The study presents the issue of the so-called agendas (Agendae) of the Olomouc diocese from the end of the 14th century to the threshold of the 20th century, which have not been comprehensively treated in the diocesan context so far. Ceremonial agendas capture not only the repertoire itself but also important aspects of operational practice, i.e., the division of roles between the celebrant, other clerics, or the schola. Beginning with the earliest manuscript sources, manuscripts and prints have subsequently been compared, even for the period after 1500, when the role of the manuscript may seem seemingly anachronistic with the more massive use of printing....

The development of the rich Rorate repertoire in the Czech lands and Central Europe, based on Advent hymns in the vernacular, was caused by a long tradition of everyday "Rorate" Advent morning masses, which were cultivated by lay religious confraternities and later by parish churches. The Czech Rorate chants, which originated in 16th century Utraquist Bohemia and is still partially alive today, was only one of many forms of this repertoire. Additional layers of the Rorate repertory in Latin and Czech are documented in the Moravian printed and manuscript hymnbooks. Their forms are monophonic and polyphonic, in plainchants, strophic hymns and figural...

The imperial court organist Alessandro Poglietti was an important and respected personality in his time, but only 22 years of his life are documented - from 1661 to his death in 1683. His main place of work was Vienna, but he also had a connection with Moravia and certainly resided there. He was acquainted with Count Anton Franz Collalto of Brtnice, who was the godfather of Poglietti's children. He was involved in an inheritance dispute over a house in Vyškov and properties in Dědice, for which he tried to win the favour of Olomouc Bishop Karl Lichtenstein-Castelcorn and his officials, as evidenced by surviving letters. He made his will in Vyškov....

Testamente und Nachlassverzeichnisse als wertvolle Belege für Erforschung der städtischen Musikkultur in der frühen Neuzeit (an Beispielen von Brünn, Znaim und Olmütz)

Testaments and Inventories of Estates as an Important Document for the Study of Urban Musical Culture in the Early Modern Period (with the Examples of Brno, Znojmo and Olomouc)

Research into the urban musical culture of Early Modern cities is impossible due to the frequent absence of primary musical monuments without a systematic study of non-musical sources. These are sources that are linked to the functioning of specific urban institutions, such as the town office or the parish. In addition to account books, council books, books of town correspondence, or the rather varied record material, probate books and inventories of estates also contain partial information on music. The sources have often survived continuously since the Middle Ages and their contents have not yet been properly evaluated. From a musical point of view,...

P. Anselm Hackenwälder (1730-1772): augustinián a regenschori u sv. Tomáše v Brně a jeho svitavské kořeny

The study deals with a hitherto little-known personality who shaped Brno musical life in the 1750s and 1760s. Wenzel Joseph Hackenwälder grew up in the environment of a cantorial family active in Svitavy from the beginning of the 18th century, where he probably received his basic musical education. He received further general and musical education from the Piarists in Litomyšl and the Jesuits in Olomouc. After joining the Augustinian Order of Eremites in Brno and being ordained a priest (1755), he became the director of the choir as P. Anselm, a position he held for the next 17 years until his untimely death. The paper summarises previously unpublished...

Jana Vojtěšková

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 34(2), (2022):120-162 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2022.009  

The article deals with the letters of Václav Jan Křtitel Tomášek from the Morawetz Collection, housed in the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music. In a critical edition, it publishes and comments on the letters Tomášek addressed to the publishers Ambrosius Kühnel, Carl Friedrich Peters, and Immanuel Guttentag, as well as to the poet and editor Rudolph Hirsch, Tomášek's pupil Alexander Dreyschock and an unnamed (probably Amelia Illaire to Berlin). The edition also includes an appraisal of the compositions of Josef Zvonař and Tomášek's request for an increase in his annual rent, addressed to Count George Franz August Buquoy in 1829. For the first...
