A national electronic database of special music collections in South AfricaDe Jongh, Martha Susanna 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MMus (Music))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / In the absence of a state-sponsored South African archive that focuses on collecting,
ordering, cataloguing and preserving special music collections for research, the
Documentation Centre for Music (DOMUS) was established in 2005 as a research
project at the University of Stellenbosch. Music research in South Africa is often
impeded by inaccessibility of materials, staff shortages at archives and libraries,
financial constraints and time-consuming ordering and cataloguing processes.
Additionally there is, locally, restricted knowledge of the existence, location and
status of relevant primary sources. Accessibility clearly depends on knowing of the
existence of materials, as well as the extent to which collections have been ordered
and catalogued.
An overview of repositories such as the Nasionale Afrikaanse Letterkundige Museum
and Navorsingsentrum (NALN), the now defunct National Documentation Centre for
Music and the International Library of African Music (ILAM) paints a troubling
picture of archival neglect and disintegration. Apart from ILAM, which has a very
specific collecting and research focus, this trend was one that ostensibly started in the
1980s and is still continuing. It could be ascribed to a lack of planning and forward
thinking under the previous political dispensation, aggravated by policies of
transformation and restructuring in the current one.
Existing sources supporting research on primary materials are dated and not
discipline-specific. Thus this study aims to address issues of inaccessibility of primary
music materials by creating a comprehensive and ongoing national electronic database
of special music collections in South Africa. It is hoped that this will help to alert
researchers to the existence and status of special music collections housed at various
levels of South African academic and civil society.

Hudební kultura v konventu alžbětinek na Novém Městě Pražském / Music Culture of the Elisabethan Convent in PragueMichl, Jakub January 2018 (has links)
Music Culture of the Elisabethan Convent in Prague Jakub Michl Abstract The Sisters of Saint Elizabeth (Elizabethan Nuns) were a spiritual order primarily focused on administering healthcare. Therefore, music was never the main focus of the order's activities, as it often was in others, particularly educational orders. However, thanks to the uninterrupted historical continuity of the Prague convent, which was exempted from the restrictions of Joseph II's era, many sources illustrating the convent music culture were preserved, including an extensive collection of music. The dissertation aims to describe this music culture in the context of the order structure and its personal hierarchy, as part of the city of Prague and its civic institutions, and in its everyday life and characteristics such as enclosure, hospital service and recreational activities. Music in convents was always tightly bound to liturgy. In the case of the Elizabethan order, significant music production was focused on the order's main liturgical feasts such as S. Elizabeth, S. Francis of Assisi, Porciuncula, Christmas, Epiphany, Easter and also memorial services for deceased patrons of the convent. The convent cooperated with many lay musicians and composers such as F. X. Brixi, Z. V. Suchý, F. X. Labler, J. N. Bayer, among others. At the...
