Title: K špecifikám hudby františkánov na Morave v 17. a 18. storočí: Poznámky k dejinám hudby v Provincii Bohemiae Sancti Wenceslai
Author: Ladislav KAČIC

Abstract: 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 so-called 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. The 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.
