| Description | This paper examines the representation of music (esp. church music), its origin and use during the early modern period in the Czech lands within two main literary testimonies. Both focus on the role of music in religion –as one can see, this has to do not only with ritual and liturgical music, but as well with music or song as a device to lift the soul up to God. As this paper focuses more on musical culture or the role of music in religion than on music theory, sources in the vernacular, more precisely for the Czech-speaking population, were primarily analysed. |
