Jan Křtitel Vaňhal and the Bohemian and Moravian Music Collections of the Brother Hospitallers (Barmherzige Brüder, O.S.I.)

Summary/Abstract: Jan Křtitel Vaňhal is represented in the surviving Bohemian music collections nearly as strongly as Joseph and Michael Haydn – by his sacred music which spread from big music centres, cathedrals, important churches and monasteries up to the small towns and villages. In some of the monastic collections, also secular music by Vanhal found its place, especially symphonies – in a number which match the number of secular compositions, gathered for the use of the Bohemian noble families. These paper deals in more detail especially with the collections formerly belonging to the Order of Brothers Hospitallers (Barmherzige Brüder, Fatebene Fratelli, O. S. I.).
