That is reflected particularly in the extent of the primary sources for musical practice, personnel of choirs, and living conditions of musicians. This article focuses on sources of the financing of musical practice in this urban parish church at the close of the 18th century. In the 1790s the financial and social situation of church musicians was unfavourably influenced by the new order of worship, and the abolition of the brotherhoods and reassignment of parishioners to the newly established parishes – both of these measures ordered by the Emperor Joseph II. The church musicians turned to the magistracy, requesting
that the situation which had arisen be resolved. Based on source research, in the article we illustrate the extent of income loss that musicians suffered and the means by which they attempted to improve their arduous living conditions.

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, during which the Salve Regina was sung at the donor’s request by six boys in the Czech language accompanied by the organ. Th e paper aims to highlight one of the aspects connected with the musical-liturgical practice of the pilgrimage site and thus lay a foundation for further research on the musical events of Silesian and Moravian pilgrimage sites.

Since the monasteries were far apart, the canons not only had to actively seek each other’s contact, they further had to negotiate the trade diplomatically, giving us a unique view into their lives. This essay sheds light on the interaction between Georg Pohl, abbot of Monastery of the Canons Regular on Piasek Island in Breslau, and Adam Scharrer, dean and later provost of Klosterneuburg monastery. Their correspondence made it possible to track the transfer of books and sheet music. In order to research the importance of music in Klosterneuburg, the attached index of the transferred sheet music is quintessential. This index offers valuable information about the music collection of Klosterneuburg monastery in the late 17th century. Due to the fact that most of the pieces are nowadays not part of the collection anymore, this 17th century record is a crucial
witness of the development of the monastery’s music collection.

Jahrhundert ist sicherlich ein komplexes Thema. Wo es sonst an musikalischen Quellen mangelt, ermöglicht die überlieferte Instruktion von 1638 einen bedeutenden Einblick. Die Verordnung zeigt uns die rechtlichen Verhältnisse innerhalb der Dommusik und ihre Beziehung zum Magistrat der Stadt sowie zur Kirchenvorstehung; sie gibt Auskunft über Pflichten und Besoldung der Musiker sowie über Versorgung und Unterricht der Domsängerknaben. In Summe: Sie ist das Zeugnis eines regen und reichhaltigen Musikbetriebes am Stephansdom und zugleich Grundlage für die weitere Erforschung der Dommusik im 17. Jahrhundert.

However, mapping of some aspects of socio-cultural nature and inter-regional links is often lost. Whether and to what extent is a suitable and currently applicable microhistorical approach (presented by French historians) in regional research in the Central European space will be the main aspect of the contribution. On the example of the Brno regenschori and composer Peregrina Gravani (1742-1815), the possibilities of this approach in musical-historical research will be outlined.

Composers of the 20th centhury return to the music traditions of medieval and renaissance music at various levels. On the one hand, the do so practically by organizing performances, where ranaissance music pieces are performed using new music. On the other hand , they do it theoretically by studying the old music and compositional concepts or by attempting to integrate their own music into music history. One of the reused old techniques is hocket, which we can find in works written by contemporary composers such as Louis Andriessen or György Ligeti. Attention is pais also to hocket as a music form, thanks to Guillaume de Machaut's work Hoquetus David. His hocket has been remade to several arrangement and has become the inspiration for contemporary composers, for example Harrison Birtwistel.

So haben sich zahlreiche Bewerbungsbriefe von auswärtigen Musikern erhalten, die sich mit ihrem Gesuch an den Brünner Magistrat wandten. Diese stellen eine wertvolle Quellebasis dar, die unter verschiedenen Blickwinkeln untersucht werden kann. Der Beitrag wird vor allem den beinhalteten Informationen in der Bewerbungen gewidmet. Auf Grundlage ihrer Herkunfts-, Ausbildungs- und Wirkungsorte sollen die Verflechtungen zwischen Mähren, Schlesien, Slowakei und Niederösterreich veranschaulicht werden. Überdies wird gezeigt, welche Voraussetzungen für die Aufnahme als Kirchenmusiker an der Brünner Stadtpfarrkirche erfüllt werden mussten und ob bzw. wie ausschlaggebend die früheren Ausbildungs- und Wirkungsstätten der Kirchenmusiker für eine erfolgreiche Anstellung waren.

Research paper thumbnail of Enlightenment and music in Brno in the 2nd half of the 18th century

International Conference on Sacred Music East and West: “Enlightenment & Illumination”. Prague, Czech Republic / 23-25 November 2018, 2018

It took place in the middle of the Seven-Year War, and so recalled the famous defense of the city in 1645. Contemporary accounts noted the sense of order and decency of the whole celebration. They illustrate a certain change in society which is subtly perceptible in the music. This is undoubtedly related to the transformation of the repertoire of the city theater, as well as to a different attitude on the part of state and city institutions towards itinerant musicians (1766). At the same time, when the altars of the parish church of St. James were completely refurbished, the City Council required the newly appointed master of music in the parish church, Peregrino Gravani, to regularly acquire sheet music in “the new style” (1763).
During the reforms of Emperor Joseph II, church music was influenced not only by the new liturgical order (1784), but also by the re-organization of pastoral care and the resulting foundation of new parishes. This article will focus on the relationship between Joseph's reforms and sacred music. Close attention will be paid to musical practice in the newly established parishes and cooperation with the musicians of the parish church of St. James.

So haben sich zahlreiche Bewerbungsbriefe von auswärtigen Musikern erhalten, die sich mit ihrem Gesuch an den Brünner Magistrat wandten. Diese stellen eine wertvolle Quellebasis dar, die unter verschiedenen Blickwinkeln untersucht werden kann. Der Beitrag wird vor allem den beinhalteten Informationen in der Bewerbungen gewidmet. Auf Grundlage ihrer Herkunfts-, Ausbildungs- und Wirkungsorte sollen die Verflechtungen zwischen Mähren, Schlesien, Slowakei und Niederösterreich veranschaulicht werden. Überdies wird gezeigt, welche Voraussetzungen für die Aufnahme als Kirchenmusiker an der Brünner Stadtpfarrkirche erfüllt werden mussten und ob bzw. wie ausschlaggebend die früheren Ausbildungs- und Wirkungsstätten der Kirchenmusiker für eine erfolgreiche Anstellung waren.

Überdies geben sie auch Auskunft über finanzielle Angelegenheiten der Kirchenmusiker. Nicht anders ist es im Falle der Ordnung und Instruktion für Musikangestellten beim Dom zu St. Stephan in Wien, die aus dem Jahr 1638 stammt. Um die Regelungen interpretieren zu können, wird zuerst die Lage der Dommusik zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts kurz geschildert, danach werden die in der Verordnung bestimmten Verhältnisse und die Struktur des Musikensembles behandelt. In der Instruktion wurden auch die üblichen Dienste geregelt, wodurch wichtige Informationen über den Kirchenmusikalltag im Wiener Stephansdom ermittelt werden können. Die in der Verordnung beinhalteten Einzelheiten ergänzen unseren Wissenstand über das Musikgeschehen in der Stadtpfarr- und Domkirche zu St. Stephan. All diese Aspekte sollen einen Beitrag zur soziogeschichtlichen Musikforschung im mitteleuropäischen Raum leisten.

International Conference on Sacred Music East and West: “Enlightenment & Illumination”. Prague, Czech Republic / 23-25 November 2018, 2018

It took place in the middle of the Seven-Year War, and so recalled the famous defense of the city in 1645. Contemporary accounts noted the sense of order and decency of the whole celebration. They illustrate a certain change in society which is subtly perceptible in the music. This is undoubtedly related to the transformation of the repertoire of the city theater, as well as to a different attitude on the part of state and city institutions towards itinerant musicians (1766). At the same time, when the altars of the parish church of St. James were completely refurbished, the City Council required the newly appointed master of music in the parish church, Peregrino Gravani, to regularly acquire sheet music in “the new style” (1763).
During the reforms of Emperor Joseph II, church music was influenced not only by the new liturgical order (1784), but also by the re-organization of pastoral care and the resulting foundation of new parishes. This article will focus on the relationship between Joseph's reforms and sacred music. Close attention will be paid to musical practice in the newly established parishes and cooperation with the musicians of the parish church of St. James.
