Music in Bohemia around 1400: Crossroads of Traditions

Original language description

The musical culture of the Bohemian Lands before 1420 is characterized by a formidable variety of genres, musical forms, and sources of inspiration. Manuscript no. 42 from the library of the Cistercian Abbey of Vyšší Brod provides a unique insight into this musical environment. Its repertoire exemplifies the seminal role of late medieval chant as well as the beginnings of trends fully developed later in the 15th century. The presented papers focused on the phenomena for which manuscript no. 42 is the earliest and irreplaceable source: song traditions and late medieval chant. Both musical worlds adopted a fashion of rhythmizing monophonic melodies – cantus fractus – and setting to polyphony which presented new challenges for the local composers. All contributions asked the question of transfers of musical repertoire within the Central European cultural space. The conference was opened by Hana Vlhová-Wörner and Jan Ciglbauer and their introductory papers on the late chant and song traditions in Bohemia around 1400, respectively. There were mostly hymnological contributions in the programme: Benedicamus tropes (Konstantin Voigt, Stefan Rosmer) and encounters of Latin and German traditions (Gisela Kornrumpf, Ute Evers). The second focus point was the phenomenon of cantus fractus from different perspectives (Bernhold Schmid, Lenka Hlávková). The presentation by Franz Körndle showed how challenging the introduction of musical instruments, especially the treatment of rhythm, was for the authors in the 15th century. To complete the picture of Bohemian tradition around 1400, Charles Brewer presented the tradition of the motet Veni sancte Spiritus – Da gaudiorum – Veni sancte and Rhianydd Hallas shared some aspects of the Visitation office by John of Jenstein.
