Details
Music research is concerned both with the theoretical study of music, and with transferring the results of its research into
musical practice, for example by including concerts in conferences, thereby enabling music and science to enter into a dialog. This kind of performance has been staged by the Commission for Music Research at regular intervals. At the heart of these events is the first performance of previously neglected works, versions or fragments. Documenting these unique and elaborate concerts as part of this series of CDs completes the circle of music as a subject of research, of scientific research into music and the transfer of the knowledge gained by that research into performing and understanding music. Austria has access to many medieval sources containing monophonic liturgical music. Alongside those in the National Library, musical treasures can be found in monastic libraries. The Grazer Choralschola presents a cross-section of a largely still unknown body of work of Austrian music from Klosterneuburg, Neuburg, St. Lambrecht, Seckau, the Schottenschift monastery in Vienna and Vorau.The CD presents a live recording of a concert held in 2011 in Vienna as part of the music research conference of the CANTUSPLANUS study group of the International Musicological Society.
