In literate and courtly circles of the 17th century there was little interest in celebrating what has been termed since the 19th century ‘folk culture’. Filmed at Smashbox Studios Hollywood CA The late 17th-century manuscripts of the Prague-based Premonstratensian monk Jiří KoÅ¡etický (with the monastic name ‘Evermodus’) preserve a lengthy dialogue in Czech between a wife and a hen-pecked husband with the title Dialogus Bohemicus. The Beech is getting green already, the Rowan tree has become red.23, The ‘Villana Hanatica’ (ex.2) preserves other characteristic traits, including a proportio of the melody (a device that was used much less frequently elsewhere in Europe by the mid-1600s), a strong downbeat rhythmic feature and a unison–octave sonority to further highlight the primitive character.24 The absence of polyphony is a near-ubiquitous method of suggesting barbarity or rustic character throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries.25 Only traces of these characteristics are preserved in the ‘Hanacken Ehrentanz’ (ex.4) from Alessandro Poglietti’s Rossignolo suite for harpsichord (c.1677), though many other examples follow local models more closely.26, Alessandro Poglietti (d.1683), ‘Hanacken Ehrentanz’ for harpsichord, bars 1–2, Anon., ‘Hanak’, Kroměříž (1680s), for two trumpets. Perhaps ‘Poland’ could be employed in a similar way to Printz and Heinichen’s use of ‘Siberia’—or perhaps they simply were not familiar enough to write in any more detail than that. During his visit he not only performed with musicians of the cloister, but the students demonstrated Hanák dances for him.51 To judge from Zacher’s description of the dancers moving backwards (which he found bizarre) they probably danced the cófavá—a Hanák dance featuring a step backwards.52 According to the diary of one monk at Hradisko, Zacher was baffled by the spectacle: Detail of a late 18th-century map of the eastern part of the Haná region, with Olomouc (‘Holomoc’ in dialect) near the top and Kroměříž near the bottom, in the afternoon the [abbot] commanded that a Hanák dance be held, which was a rare treat indeed for the guests, especially for Master Zacher seeing as he was a musician, and [to him it] was incomprehensible on account of the pulling of the tactus in the Hanák music, a thing foreign to the rules of music.53, In 1692 one unlucky inhabitant of Brno was accidentally shot while performing a Hanák dance (saltum Hanaticum) near the town hall after a night out drinking—his death was put forward by the Franciscans as an example of a miracle by the recently canonized St John of Capistrano (1386–1486), exacting his revenge from beyond the grave on the irreverent Moravians.54 It is curious that the Franciscans should bother recording what kind of dance the unfortunate victim was doing at the time, but perhaps by linking it closely with the obstinate Hanáks, regional culture—especially drinking and dancing—could again be evoked to further a particular perspective.55 This very public manipulation of rustic Hának dancing follows the general philosophy that emerged in the Austrian crown lands following the Thirty Years’ War, which, according to historian R. J. W. Evans, sought ‘to confirm both Catholic truth and social order’.56. But as with so many other ‘national’ dances taken in the context of courtly repertory, authentic representation of rustic music was not the primary aim. With its national and international audiences building steadily, the Czech Philharmonic will present the first of its own live-streamed concerts on Facebook on Thursday 4 February.

G–O (Madrid, 1763), p.327, describes Hanáks (Los Hanocos) as those who inhabit the area ‘around Olomouc’ and ‘in the mountains along the river’, also repeating the commonly held impression of their strong physical stature. Scholars have generally overlooked Moravian models for Telemann’s Hanák pieces because the composer is not known to have travelled there, but both the Hanáks and their dances were known far beyond their borders.29 The Vice-Kapellmeister at Darmstadt (a prolific copyist of Telemann’s music) Johann Samuel Endler (1694–1762) also included a ‘Hanaquoise’ movement in an orchestral suite in D from 1750.30 There is also a related Hanák repertory for Advent and Christmas—a subject too broad to be dealt with here.31, The popularity of Hanák movements continued long into the 18th century, as did the pairing with Polish dances. In the 1850s Friedrich Chrysander (1826–1901) took an interest in Moravian folksong and, like many Romantics, connected it with the earliest Christian music of those ‘nations that still live in their original state’.57 However, he rejected the (then popular) notion that the minor mode derived from folksong, though he associated the naturalness of the minor mode with ‘song’ more generally, and contrasted this with the major mode, which he argued belonged to instrumental music.58 His reasoning was that the major mode presented more complex harmonic and melodic principles.59 Perhaps some aspect of this understanding (minor mode for songs, major mode for instrumental music) is also being suggested in the Sonata Jucunda—with fast instrumental sections in the major and song-like material in unisons and octaves evoking folksong in the minor mode.

Musical evocations or references to ‘Hanák’ music—referring to the inhabitants of the low-lying plains of central Moravia—appear from the 17th centur Your use of the "/" (slash) symbol is a bit confusing: you can have loud music that isn't live, and live music that isn't loud. Brewer seems to have misunderstood the ‘majalis’ references in this piece (and other ‘majalis’ pieces) arguing that they refer to hunting boar; Brewer, The instrumental music of Schmeltzer, Biber, Muffat, pp.188–90. The Diccionario geográfico, ò descripción de todos los Reynos, vol. All rights reserved. While there is no explicit reference in the manuscript itself to Hanák music, the Sonata Jucunda exhibits many of its principal characteristics. It seems reasonable that the sonata could be connected with majalis in this sense too. [Quoting his host at Hranice na Moravě]: ‘the people here are rough and barbarous like all the Hannaken’. An 18th-century history of the Moravians (as a religious movement) lists ‘Hannaken’ amongst the groups to whom they preached. Looking for a collaborator for the project she had in mind, Emilie Hanak contacted songwriter and producer Piers Faccini in 2014. In such works it was not merely the musical material, but also peasant life itself, that is satirized. The chaotic elements cannot be admitted to a courtly context without rehabilitation or, in this case, generating a few laughs. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which introduced the word "robot" to the world, at Prague's National Theater.

M.’, copied in Kroměříž around 1670, concludes with a Hanák dance—although it is not specifically labelled as such, the final section, labelled ‘pastoritia’ (ex.6),39 is similar to other Hanák pieces (ex.7).40 Not only are the melodic and rhythmic characteristics of Hának melodies present in the ‘pastoritia’, but the unison texture helps to confirm its rustic origins. During this period, the role and reception of ‘Hanák’ movements underwent significant changes that reflect broader issues in the way rustic music was dealt with in courtly contexts. This year’s chairs included longtime supporters Kristina and Ryan McGovern as well as ABFK co-founder Michael Nance. The recognition of the stylistic distinction in this piece—that the rustic style was not, in this particular work, appropriate for church—was made in G.

Ludmila Sochorová dates the earliest secular Czech-language theatrical production to as early as the 1580s: an anonymous farce for Prague’s Peasant Carnival (Sedlský masopust) that was published there in 1588.17 By the second half of the 17th century, peasant-themed Carnival works tended to be of a lampooning nature—the humorous chaos of the polytonal movement of Biber’s Battalia (for Carnival in Salzburg in 1673) is characteristic. By the late 17th century, a handful of instrumental pieces were making reference to dances and songs associated with the Haná region of Moravia; their frequency increased greatly over the next century, with movements variously labelled ‘Hanak’, ‘Hanaquoise’, ‘Hanac’ and the like. For a Moravian perspective, see J. Sehnal, ‘Hannakische Musik in der Zeit Georg Philipp Telemanns’, in Die Bedeutung Georg Philipp Telemanns fur die Entwicklung der europaischen Musikkultur im 18.

The reasons for the careful management of rustic content in courtly art relates to a seemingly paradoxical conflict in aesthetic values of the time—that is, any demand for verisimilitude is generally tempered by the demands of decorum.2 This is the classical paradigm of Italian opera in the 17th and early 18th centuries.3 In a courtly context most overtly rustic evocations are required to adhere to the conventions of courtly life—especially that of order. Many pieces that attempt to evoke peasant music during this period may at first appear to transcend the boundaries of decorum through their chaotic and unorthodox sounds, but it is in the context of the court that such disorder is lampooned or rehabilitated, and through which decorum is satisfied. Their national songs and melodies, which are for the most part very old, are almost all in the minor key, the prevailing characteristic of all Slavonian music … And being the wealthiest owners of the best land, the Hannaken are at once the proudest and most hospitable among the inhabitants of Moravia.14, By the first half of the 18th century there is evidence of a tradition of plays and musical comedies (zpěvohry) in the local dialect—including opera-like works complete with recitative—in addition to distinctive dance types that were imitated far beyond the borders of the Czech lands.15 Foreign composers from the late 17th to 18th centuries occasionally included ‘Hanák’ movements in their instrumental works, often as an exotic alternative to the minuet.16, Throughout the Habsburg lands (and much of Catholic Europe more generally) Carnival season provided the opportunity and musical licence for evocations, however parodying, of rustic musical practices.

Hanák or Mazurka—I don’t want to do it for long.’33 In 1782, Johann Friedrich Reichardt describes Hanák dancing as ‘wild, bold and free’, noting that the dancers use their entire bodies.34 Even in a discussion in 1783 about the distinctive Hanák dress, Johann Ernst Fabri (1755–1825) makes mention of their ‘tanzkunst’.35 The anonymous author of Geschichte des jetzigen europäischen Staatstheaters (Leipzig, 1788) describes a marionette production that ran the gamut of regional references as including ‘Turkish music, Hanák dances, sacred pantomimes, and Roman masquerades’.36 In his popular Klavierschule (1789), Gottlieb Türk gives keyboard players the advice that regional rustic dances ‘known by names like Bavarian, Cossack, German, Masurian [i.e. DAFilms have generously offered a free month for you to check it out.

The copyist (and/or composer) understood that Hanák dances were not admissible in the context of the bishop’s chapel and so left the instruction that if the sonata was to be performed in church, the final ‘pastoritia’ section should be omitted.41 While some references attest to the popularity of such movements, the following case-study from the 17th century reveals that not all references to Hanák music are so explicit. See Johann Gottfried Groß, Kurzgefaßter Auszug der neuesten Weltgeschichte auf das Jahr 1742 (Nuremberg, 1742), pp.118–19: ‘Es Thut sich zwar noch eine Gattung gefährlicher Kriegsleute hervor, welche die Hanaken heissen, und eigentlich Märchrische Grenz-Bauern sind’.
