Description:

An investigation of the relationship between the earliest Czech plainchant of the Jistebnický Kancionál (ca. 1420/1430) and the Czech plainchant of the following century shows that the latter is not always a direct adaption of Latin models. A comparison of the texts and music shows that some of the chants most likely depend on the earlier Czech plainchant, but updated, with the texts edited for grammatical or theological clarity, or with syllables added to the melismata. It is thus reasonable to speak of a continuous tradition of Czech plainchant from the 15th through the 16th centuries. Furthermore, watermarks and paleography can often date the later sources to several decades earlier than previously thought.
