INTAVOLÁCIE VILLANEL LUCU MARENZIA V LUTNOVEJ TLAČI „THESAURUS HARMONICUS“ (KÖLN 1603) PODĽA JEANA-BAPTISTA BESARDA

Lute music made a remarkable impact on the development of European music culture. Gradually it extended to the whole of Europe and became part of everyday life in the urban world, as well as in circles of the higher and lower nobility. We encounter its monuments on our own territory in the 16th to the 18th centuries, especially in the Spiš provenance (Levoča, Bardejov), in the central Slovakian region in Banská Bystrica and in the west Slovakia in Bratislava. In the Levoča Collection of Music from the 16th and 17th centuries we find the important lute publication Thesaurus Harmonicus (Köln, 1603), compiled by the lutist Jean-Baptiste Besard (1567 – 1617). Among other things, this comprises works by Luca Marenzio (1553/1554 – 1599), a foremost Italian madrigalist, who stands at the summit of madrigal creation at the end of the 16th century. In the article we offer analysis and comparison of Besard’s method of intabulation of the ten villanelles by Marenzio which are found in the above-mentioned monument.
