| Summary: | This study shows both coexistence and confrontation between Czech minority and German majority in musical life of a small town of Litoměřice which is situated on the route from Prague to Dresden in the agricultural and fruit-growing area alongside the River Labe. At the turn of the 20th century the town was the seat of the Catholic bishopric as well as several regional and district offices, schools and monasteries. The main pillars of its musical life there were music and cultural societies Leitmeritzer Gesang- und Musikverein (1858) and Měšťanská beseda (Burghers' Club, 1862) which had been associated with music activities of the choir of St. Stephen's Cathedral and other churches, music schools, municipal theater (since 1822) as well as military bands of infantry regiments stationed in the nearby Terezín. There are mentioned in the text some significant events (festival of the Deutscher Sängerbund in Böhmen, 1883, visit of Emperor Franz Josef I. in 1901 and others) and is given a characterization of a standard musical season. The paper is partly based on research into so far unexplored archival material deposited in the State Regional Archives Litoměřice. |
