Septem Dies : Music at Prague University 1360-1460

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2021

Abstract

The presented publication is a sonic reconstruction of musical life at Prague university based on the statutes and library catalogues of the Reczek-College from 1438. It consists of music for both liturgy - Gregorian chant and Latin songs composed by students - and appropriate recreation.

The repertory is based on indirect documents from the university milieu (titles of compositions quoted in theory treatises), manuscripts of Bohemian origin, and sources from other Central European universities which clearly reflect the practice in Prague.
