| Summary: | The present study intends to suggest various directions which the research might take in relation to the music at the Jesuit church of St. Nicholas in the Lesser Town of Prague in the first half of the 18th century. Based on the music-related sources, several specific issues are elaborated: the oratorios played there during the 1710s, the compositions written for the Confraternity of Death by Jan Josef Ignác Brentner, the music ensemble of the church and the sources of music by Jan Dismas Zelenka originating in the former St. Nicholas music collection. At the same time the article draws a parallel between the monumental and radical Baroque architecture of the new church, which changed the face of the city, and the no less important position, which the music of the Lesser Town Jesuits occupied in the Prague musical landscape of the time. |
