Motet compositions by Carl Luython in the music print Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum... fasciculus primus (1603).
Bilwachs, Jan ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávková, Lenka (referee)
This master thesis deals with the vocal compositions of rudolfine composer and organist Carl Luython. In his collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum ... fasciculus primus, published in 1603 by the Prague printer Georg Nigrin, there are 29 sacred motets. Despite the partial knowledge about Luython's motets in the existing musicological literature is provided, a new revised view with regard to new findings concerning the genre of the motet is required. The master thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the preserved copies of Sacrae cantiones and provides their description and the historical outline of the sources and their probable use. In the second chapter, the problems related to the function of the motet in the second half of the sixteenth century are discussed. The third chapter deals with the collection itself. Criteria for selecting the repertoire, its inner structure and content are considered, which are subsequently analyzed in more detail. The fourth chapter is composed of four case studies concerning the current problems of research. The first case is a motet O domus luminosa, the paraphrase of the Augustine text. In the second case, Luyton's relationship with the Corpus Christi brotherhood is pointed out by the motet Pange lingua. In the latter case the...

The motets from the collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum of Carl Luython and their concordances. Critical edition and analysis of the chosen motets.
Bilwachs, Jan ; Daněk, Petr (advisor) ; Baťa, Jan (referee)
There are concordances to five motets from Carl Luython's collection Selectissimarum sacrarum cantionum... fasciculus primus in Bohemian and German manuscripts and early prints from the turn of the 16th and the 17th centuries, which were not sufficiently evaluated yet. Some records of the motets are not just mere copies of Luython's early-print collection but rather their reworkings. In my thesis I follow up previous research about Luython's motet works. In the first chapter the convolute XI 8ř47, which is the only source that includes a complete specimen of Luython's collection and which represents an evidence about the dissemination of Rudolphinian music, is described. The second chapter deals with the collection itself. The third chapter is divided into four subchapters, each of them dealing with a description of the source in which a certain motet by Luython is preserved, and with a subsequent comparison of all variants that were found. A critical edition draft of the five motets is included.
