Music of the Piarist Monastaries (Full Score)

Music of the Piarist Monastaries

This edition of Moravian sacred works from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries gives us a look into the rich and previously-unexplored musical legacy of the Piarist order, which brought new musical trends to the Czech lands starting around 1631 when it was founded in Rome.

Period reports and lists of musical manuscripts give evidence of independent compositional activity on the part of about forty members of the order, but works by only thirteen of them have survived to our time.

Barenreiter Praha here presents an anthology containing works by Jan Vojtech Pelikan, Jan Kopecky, Kristian Schubert, Jan Offner, Jan Hausner, Jan Kolenec, and Jan Frantisek Floder.  Tomas Hanzlik has constructed the scores from performing parts, prepared them for publication, and provided a foreword. Orchestral and choral parts are available for hire.
