Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | National narratives and identitiesCultural and musical idioms of town and country -- Devotional practices and the culture of conversion -- "Thither from the Country"-village life and education -- Christmas Pastorellas -- 'Melancholy ditties about dirt and disorder' -- Musical devotions and the (Re)engineering of patron saints -- Between Venice and Prague-the Vilvaldi connection -- Identity on the stage. Traditional polemical histories of Bohemia and Moravia identify the period from the early seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth century as a 'period of darkness' -particularly in terms of Czech-language culture. This book challenges that interpretation from the perspective of musical culture and demonstrates that this was actually a vibrant, productive and innovative period, both for music in the Czech language and instrumental music. By focussing on the distinctive nature of Czech-language education and devotional traditions (rehabilitated along Catholic lines after the Thirty Years War), the book reveals a new understanding of Czech musical practices and repertoires as a beguiling blend of the older, non-conformist, vernacular traditions with the new, theatrical, Italian styles and genres. Drawing on a broad range of genres including sonatas, concertos, oratorios, Passion music, masses, motets, litanies and operas, Bohemian Baroque reveals a fascinating culture and repertoire that have long been overlooked |
