Welcome to the
website of the research centre Musica Rudolphina, initiated by the Association
for Central European Cultural Studies in collaboration with
the Department
of Musicology of the Charles University Faculty of Arts in Prague
in connection with the four-hundredth anniversary of the death of
Emperor Rudolf II Habsburg (18 July 1552 – 20 January 1612). The
inspiration for this centre was the belief that the reign of this
Emperor, who was also King of Bohemia and Hungary, Duke of Austria,
etc., is one of the highlights of the development of European culture,
including education and the arts.
- The centre
brings together profesional musicologists and students interested in
study of music and musical
culture associated with the court of Emperor Rudolf II, working at
their home institutions in various countries, both within and outside
Europe. Their collaboration consists mainly in exchange of information,
consultation concerning the manner of its publication, and coordination
of research topics. Participation in the project is completely
voluntary and the number of participants is not limited.
- Just
as the scope of the cultural activities of Emperor Rudolf II and his
court was wide, this project, too, crosses over the borders of just one
country. It is based in Prague – the city where Emperor Rudolf II lived
and worked for the longest part of his life.
- The ambition of
this research centre is to gradually summarize and make accessible on
its
website all important printed and manuscript sources (via “Links”)
and literature, including published editions of music (via “Bibliography”)
related to Rudolfine musical culture, while also striving to list
all recordings of Rudolfine music (“Discography”).
It also continually provides up-to-date information related to the
activities of the collaborators and the main topic of their common
interest. The participants in the project also seek to initiate new
endeavours related to Rudolfine musical culture, especially through
their own research, publishing ("Publications"),
and interpretive
work, but also through student seminar papers at their home schools and
other places of work.
- As its long-term ambition, the center
aims to offer a comprehensive treatment of musical culture of the
Rudolfine court, including its extension into the middle class of
the countries ruled by Rudolf II. For further information click here.
