"Lift Thy Voice": Musical Aspects of Jan Augusta's Work at Křivoklát Castle

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Within evaluations of the literary work of the bishop Jan Augusta (1500-1572) of the Unity of the Brethren, references to his extraordinarily prolific hymnwriting are very frequent. Research on manuscripts originating from the time of Augusta&apos;s imprisonment at Křivoklát Castle (1548-1564) and kept today in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna with the signatures 7452 and 7457 has enabled recognition of this work as more complex than previous studies had imagined. An important element of the 1558 Register of hymns is the form prescribed by Augusta for Matins. This service was specifically intended as a space for realizing the Unity of Brethren&apos;s pericopal reforms. The singing of the invitatory using one of the traditional melodies at the service&apos;s opening is preserved in eighteen cases in total. A still more distinctive link to the secular Roman Rite is the preservation of two to three nocturns containing three lessons and the final singing of a hymn or song in place of a responsory. Meanwhile, the liturgy for services &quot;during the day&quot; is more closely tied to the Brethren&apos;s tradition: of the chants for the Ordinary of the Mass, only Czech tropes of the Kyrie and Sanctus are kept. The 1562 manuscript of Hymns is a summary of the bishop&apos;s entire hymnographic work in prison. The majority of the melodies used come from the cantional of Jan Roh and also from contemporary Utraquist repertoire that Augusta knew by heart thanks to his experience of liturgy and carolling as a student. It contains eleven notated chants corresponding to the tradition of Utraquist Latin antiphoners and graduales. Twelve texts are written with German melodies taken from the polyphonic repertoire and from the earliest Lutheran hymn prints. The use of polyphonic musical models, together with expressive poetic rendering of the psalms, brings a new stylistic layer to the repertoire of Czech spiritual song.
