Discantus and Altus part-books (sign. NM-CMH AZ 84) were made by the later binding of component parts consisting of four prints and five manuscripts from the 1540s through about the 1590s. For the first time, the professional community can familiarize itself with their external description and contents. Those contents consist predominantly of compositions intended for Vespers (Magnificat settings and hymns). Special attention is paid to two Magnificat settings Bohemian Christmas and Easter songs in the discant part. For each of the twelve songs, the oldest known incidences of their melody and text were identified, and transcriptions of the songs are also included. The discant part-book AZ 84 represents an indispensable source for the genesis of some of the songs (Všem věc divná, neslýchaná [To All Something Strange, Unheard-Of], Hory se zelenají [The Hills Turn Green], Plešíc již všecko stvoření [All Creation Now Rejoicing], Šalomúnovy postele šedesáte ostříhalo [Sixty Men around Solomons Bed]), Dagmar Štefancová., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 22.
This study deals with the heretofore unknown activity of Leoš Janáček at the two main museum institutes in Brno. It asserts that from ca. 1888 until the end of his life, Leoš Janáček was a member of the Brno Museum Association, and it also makes reference to previously unknown sources from scholarly literature to which he had access as a member of the association. A surprising discovery is that the composers participation in the German-Czech Moravian Museum Society from 1900 was connected with the creation of the first collection of Moravian composers manuscripts (1903) and with an attempt to obtain financial support from the Provincial Committee for a printed edition of works by Moravian composers. We thus get a more complete picture of Janáčeks interactions and contacts in the environment of the Czech and German intellectuals who surrounded him and of the composers involvement in professional activities., Jarmila Procházková., Obsahuje seznam literatury, Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 350.
