| Description | The study is focused on specific musical-dramatic form of oratorios, which was intended for performances during the Holy Week at the holy sepulchre. Originally, the favourite form from Leopoldine Vienna found a wide use in 18th century. The functional point of view, symbolically designated by the place and purpose of the performance, plays a decisive role in further research. Therefore, for these compositions the term "sepolcro" is used. Apart from terminological questions, the clients, who ordered these compositions, as well as forms and language problematic are researched. On several examples, the various types of themes used in sepolcros are demonstrated. |
