Trzy Rękopisy "Requiem in Es" Ludwika Maadera

Author(s): Justyna Szczygieł / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03 (26)/2015

Ludwik Maader (also quoted in sources as Lodovico or Ludovico Maader) was a composer working on Polish territory in the second half of the 18th century. He came to Jasna Góra in September 1784. He was a bandmaster until the end of 1798. Information about his life and activities is rudimentary. We know that he came to Poland from Moravia, specifically from Dub on Moravou – a small town near Olo - mouc, but unfortunately we do not know exactly his earlier activity. Requiem in Es by Ludwik Maader is preserved not only in the Ar - chives of Jasna Góra in the manuscript signed III-446. Currently we found out about four other Requiem. The source from Jasna Góra is autograph of the bandmaster and contains probably the oldest and original version of the composition. The first source is kept in the Jagiellonian Library, comes from Gidle, and was written in 1809. The second manuscript is located in the Provincial Archives of Dominican Order in Cracow and belonged to Dominican’s band in Gidle (1845). The third and fourth sources are inaccessible because of poor state of preservation. They are stored in two places: 1) Archives of the Arch - diocese of Gniezno signature II/7, belonged to the band from Grodzisk Wielkopolski, 2) Archives of the Archdiocese of Poznań – from the band in Gostyń. This article is focused on a comparison of the three manuscripts: one from Jasna Góra and two from Gidle. The author compared the content of manuscripts, the way of signing the text, vocal and instrumental parts and basso continuo.

Author(s): Alicja Ryczkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01 (24)/2015

Most musicians working at the royal and aristocratic courts enjoyed good status despite the difficult political and economic situation of the Polish Common Wealth in the late 16th and 17th centuries. The height of the status of court musicians depended among others on their place of employment, origin, sex, professional roles and musical specialty. This article focuses on the relationship between the status of the musicians and their origin, sex, workplace and salaries. We compared court musicians’ salaries to demonstrate differences in their material status. The few preserved information about the salaries of the Polish court musicians was analyzed in this study. These were wages of the royal musicians and wages of the musicians employed at the courts of Leon Lew Sapieha, Zamoyscy, prince Dominik Ostrogski-Zasławski and hetman Adam Mikołaj Sieniawski. The results are presented descriptively and in the table and graph.

peoples music, state socialism, people's democracy, Bulgarian radio, soft powerThe article describes the main power concepts and practices, related to music in Bulgarian radio during the first years of socialist Bulgaria – the Fatherland front period (1944-1947), when the authorities start to take possession of state radio, under the guise of “people’s democracy”; and the totalitarian period (1948-1956) – a period of “classical Stalinism”, a time of the completed control of radio and media music by the communist power. The focus is on the so called folk music in radio, which turns out to be one of the main conduits of “soft power” in the first years of Bulgarian national socialism. Its presence in the narratives of communist power, its place in radio programs, its main figures and formats, its power uses as “music for the people” and some discourses as “correct” and “incorrect” music, according to authorities, are examined.

Между два свята: подкастингът като сливане на технологията с човешкото

Author(s): Victor Chulev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 14/2023

The present text, which is an edited excerpt from a master's thesis titled „The Video Archives Podcast as a Communicative Space“, seeks to roughly delineate the boundaries of the podcast space as a place where the technological and the human converge. By analyzing and comparing theories of podcast practices and communication theories before the advent of podcasting, the text attempts to overcome the opposition of novelty and tradition and concludes that the coexistence of man and media resembles not a war but rather a game of worlds.

Трансформация на образа на чинка във вярванията на съвременните грузинци (Според устни разкази и архивни текстове)

Author(s): Marine Turashvili / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2023

In the present article we examine mythological legends on imps, belonging to a specific genre of Georgian folk prose. They are new and have occupied their autonomous place in Georgian folklore since the 80s of the XIX century. During investigation we used the methods of secondary analysis and comparison. We used the texts of oral histories comparing them with published texts and with those kept in the Folklore Archive of Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature. Oral histories are also recorded during our field-work in 2009 and kept as video materials in the mentioned archive. Unpublished archival materials contain the beliefs of the “low mythology” that have universal character. Mythological narratives on imps are based on real stories that are later transformed into unknowable events by folk imagination. In order to gain an understanding of this folk character, it is necessary to consider a number of key questions. These include: where do they try to meet people, how do they look – in terms of their appearance – when they are activated, how do they relocate, what is their function, what kind of relations do they have with human beings, and how can people get rid of them. In addition, it is important to consider the modern people’s attitude towards this character. Their habitation is proximate to that of humans, in narrow gorges, dark, abandoned and jinxed locales. They meet people in uninhabited places, attempting to intimidate them, but as the area becomes settled, they leave. In popular imagination, the imp is a diminutive malevolent spirit, resembling a man’s offspring. It may also take the form of a wild animal. They emerge from the second half of October to the middle of November, posing a significant threat to people, even causing madness. If a man knows how to get rid of a chinka, the chinka cannot cause harm; if not, a man will become ill for a long time or up to the end of his life. Imps are afraid of fire. If anybody threatens him with a firebrand, the imp immediately runs away. In modern language, the name of this mythological figure is used for the description of a quick, astute, nimble person. The investigation revealed that the imp of the third generation, an evil spirit, left a lasting impression on the population and continues to be a topic of interest to this day. The research demonstrated that texts on imps are accompanied by a narrator’s synoptic marking.
