About article:
Te study consists of notes on the topic of Franciscan music in the 17th and 18th centuries
in St. Wenceslaus Province (Provincia Bohemiae Sancti Wenceslai), based on sources in the
monasteries at Dačice and Moravská Třebová. During the 17th century the specific features
of music in this province included – besides an emphasis on cultivation of the traditional
Gregorian chant (treatises by P. Modestus Märstein) and new composition in the socalled
measured chant – much greater space afforded to non-Franciscan composers in the
repertoire of the Mass. Some of these compositions became part of the basic repertoire
also in the neighbouring Austrian province of St. Bernardin of Sienna. Te Czech province
probably had closer contacts not only with Franciscans in Slovakia but also in the Tyrol.
Evidence of this is the simplified type of Franciscan polychoral music (two single-voice
choirs) in the 18th century, when in reality this music could be presented in double choir
only in St. Wenceslaus Province. Interesting in terms of practical performance is the use of
other instruments alongside the organ, though in a lesser degree than in the neighbouring
provinces.
