    The Music Collection of Antonín Borový (1755–1832), A Cantor from Zlatá Koruna

  • Original language description

    The school at the South Bohemian Cistercian monastery of Zlatá Koruna was established by the last abbot of this convent in 1772. He also appointed Antonín Borový, a university educated teacher, who went on to dedicate fifty years of his life to teaching in the school. Given that a cantor's responsibilities at that time also included leading the church choir and securing the musical accompaniment for church services, Borový built up a significant music collection throughout his lifetime, of which 452 compositions have been preserved. The collection is now predominantly housed in the National Museum – the Czech Museum of Music in Prague and at the Český Krumlov branch of the State Regional Archive in Třeboň. The notes on the covers of the sheet music, which provide precise information about the performance dates for each composition, its origin and orchestration, constitute the Borový collection's greatest contribution. These notes also enable us to have some idea of the repertoire of the rural choir, the ways in which the repertoire was disseminated, and music performance practice at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Borový's documentation is unique in this regard, as reports of musical performances of Czech choirs and specific repertoire choices have only been preserved sporadically. Borový also composed about twenty of his own works, which are, however, compositionally inferior. He also maintained a school chronicle written in Czech, to which he added information about school celebrations. All the sources document musical life in the Czech countryside, in which cantors, who trained entire generations of famous musicians, played an irreplaceable role for centuries.
