Frühneuzeitliche Transferprozesse in der Oberlausitz am Beispiel von Jacob Handl

Abstract

The article combines the current methodical concepts of “cultural transfer” and “spatial sociology” in research into “Iacobus Handl Gallus dictus Carniolus”. Josef Mantuani, Dragotin Cvetko and other musicologists have mentioned Görlitz as a site for the reception of works by Jacob Handl (Händl in Lusatian sources), but no one has hitherto discussed the transcultural region of Upper Lusatia. Beside the printed motets a number of pieces from Handl’s Opus musicum have been preserved in manuscripts that originate from Görlitz, Löbau and Kamenz.
