Since these are mostly contrafacta, I use the term ‘hymn tune’ to refer to their music models, irrespective of their genre and text. For instance, Michael Weisse’s Als der gütiger Gott vollenden wollt sein Wort is based on the sequence Mittit ad virginem. I refer to the first as ‘hymn’ and to the second as its ‘hymn tune’. For the sake of clarity, I use the term ‘office hymn’ for hymns in the strict sense (Latin chants), without implying they were exclusively sung during the liturgy of the hour. Geographical names: because of the history of the territories discussed in this book, many places have multiple names reflecting the different languages of the inhabitants, and these names can be perceived as ideologically connoted. I decided to deal with this complex situation in pragmatic terms, and when possible I use modern names that have currency in English (for instance, ’Wroc aw’ not ‘Breslau’). For other centres, noble titles, duchies etc. I use normalised German names that mirror those appearing in the sources I address (for instance, ’Brieg’ not ‘Brzeg’, ‘Liegnitz’ not ‘Legnica’ etc.). When misunderstandings could arise, I indicate also modern (mostly Polish) counterparts. TEXTS AND TRANSLATIONS Texts quoted from primary sources are transcribed as they appear in the sources, reproducing also the original punctuation. Abbreviations are spelled out without any special notation. In German texts, vowels with the diacritic sign ‘e’ have been transcribed with an Umlaut (ä, ö, ü). The letter ‘w’ is retained throughout, while the letter ‘v’ has been transcribed as ‘v’ or ‘u’ following the conventions of modern German. Grantley McDonald translated title pages, dedication letter, and preface of Valentin Triller’s hymnbook. All other translations are mine, if not stated otherwise. In the translations, text incipits of musical items or generic labels have been normalised to facilitate retrieval. ABBREVIATIONS Positions in the score are indicated by the voice and the bar, followed after a comma by the number of the note (counting from the beginning of the bar, including rests and syncopated values across bars). For instance, ‘bassus bar 17,1’ indicates the first note/ rest in bar 17 of the bassus. Pitches follow the Helmholtz pitch notation. In the critical apparatus of Appendix D, they are given in parenthesis. For instance, ‘bassus bars 59–60 (A)’ indicates that the note in bars 59–60 of the bassus is A. Clefs are indicated with the pitch in a capital letter followed by a number indicating its staff position. For instance, C1 indicates a c’ clef placed on the first line of the staff. Rests are given in square brackets. For instance, ‘T bar 6,1 [Sb]’ indicates that the tenor in bar 6,1 has a semibreve rest.
