Abstract
The year 2014 marks the 400th anniversary of the opening of the Lutheran church and the boys' school at St. Saviours' in the Old Town of Prague.
Soon after the opening, the church as well as the boys' school became important center of the devotional, intelectual and musical life of Prague Lutherans. The paper focuses mainly on a rather short period before the start of the Counter-reformation in 1622.
It deals with the musicians and their activities within the church and the boys' school as well as extant musical sources. Moreover, it tries to trace musical activities of Prague Lutherans during the decades before the building of their own church (until then, they had to share the liturgical space with Utraquists).
Finally, the paper puts these activities into the context of musical life in late Renaissance Prague.
