  • Description: Reconstructing the musical identity of Upper Lusatia one cannot omit the bilateral ties connecting this region to Silesia. The analysis of this compound cultural process requires presentation of both regions, the definition of key centers, ways of repertoire dissemination, and consideration of their dynamically changing interrelations. The analogical development of music culture was possibly caused by parallel historic circumstances, from the Reformation up to the Prussian annexation. In this way many musicians from Lusatia were active in Silesia. Many cantors, organists, and song composers came from Lusatia. The opposite direction is much more complex. Many of Silesians had found their work in the music institutes of Lusatia. From Silesia came also many Lusatian instrumentalists, cantors, and organ builders. Equally rich is the group of music teachers, song composers, and authors of theater spectacles who staged their works in Görlitz. A final category includes the musicians well known in both regions: as well those active in many places as well those connected with one major, but whose compositions were preserved in many local libraries. An important role in the dissemination of this local repertoire was played by some of the more important institutions, like the Görlitzer Convivium Musicum. (RILM)
