Cithara octochorda (prigodom tristote obljetnice prvog izdanja)

Sažetak
In the history of the music of the Croatian Church, musical anthology Cithara
Octochorda (CO) is the greatest validation of the exuberance of hymn forms
that had been performed, and are, partially, still performed in liturgy. The
three editions of this anthology collectively contain approximately five
hundred ( 494) texts that had been sung in about three hundred (315) different
tunes. These are, however, only a part of the liturgical musical heritage of
the Church of Zagreb. According to the latest research, 116 of them do not
originate from the Central European hymns. This leads to the assumption
that they were created by Zagreb composers.
By analyzing this abundant musical program, it is possible to historically
stratify these musical forms - some of them belong to the Artis Antiquae
period, some were created even before the printed hymn anthologies of
Centra! Europe appeared, some in the 181h century, etc.
Late in the 18th century, this centuries-long hymn tradition of the Church of
Zagreb was extinguished, only to be revived in the second half of the 19th
century (hymn-book of Vjenceslav Novak) and in the 201h century (the
caecilian movement). Some of the hymns from CO have found its place in
the renewed liturgy of the 2nd Vatican Council. All of these facts go to show
that the "old chants" from CO last as a structured musical tradition, and a
refined and articulated praise of God.
