The paper was presented at the international conference "Houses and Provinces of the Monastic Orders as Factors of Connections and Intersections in Geographical Places" in Vienna. In the paper, Carthusian plainchant was presented in the context of diffusion of the repertoire between the provinces of the Order, and as the factor of connections between the monks inside the individual houses of the Order as well. Discussed were also some connections and comparisons between the Carthusians and other orders.

COBISS.SI-ID: 272600832The chants of the Carthusian tradition, when seen in the time of their relatively stable liturgy (between the ends of the 13th and the 15th centuries), differ much from other traditions. The main reason for that are specific Carthusian text versions that try to approach the original Bible texts. What about music? How were the musical phrases adapted and reshaped when the texts were changed for the Carthusians? The paper presented some ideas on this process on the basis of comparison of the selected responsories from some Carthusian and some Aquitanian antiphoners.

COBISS.SI-ID: 38985261The lecture at the Music Academy Basel (co-organized by the Music Academy Basel, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and Swiss Musicological Society) presented the Carthusian antiphoner melodies, which were reshaped or adapted for the Carthusians because of their own version of the texts. The melodies of the Carthusian plainchant were shown in the ligth of the comparisons with several others monastic traditions. The question of the origin of these melodies and texts also emerged: were they only Carthusian or were they taken from some other tradition which is not known yet? Several examples were performed by the lecturer and the students of the Schola cantorum Basiliensis.

COBISS.SI-ID: 39617581The paper discussed the Gosnay-Pleterje antiphoners (the 16th-century antiphoners from the Carthusian Nunnery Gosnay which are kept in the Charterhouse Pleterje today) in the context of the "standard" Carthusian liturgy of the Office. The contents of the manuscripts were presented briefly and then the Pleterje antiphoners were compared to some other Carthusian antiphoners from the 15th and 16th centuries coming from different regions. The manuscripts revealed some unusual liturgical details from the specific time of the history of the Gosnay Carthusian Nunnery when they were written. They could add to our knowledge of the Gosnay liturgical life and of the manuscripts of the musically still little researched monastic order and its female branch.
