Moravian Music
Moravian music refers to the musical traditions and compositions originating from the Moravian Church, a Protestant denomination that began in the 15th century in what is now the Czech Republic. This music is characterized by its rich choral traditions, hymns, and instrumental works, often performed in worship settings. The Moravian community places a strong emphasis on music as a form of spiritual expression.
The Moravian Music Foundation plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting this unique musical heritage. It houses a vast collection of manuscripts, scores, and recordings, showcasing the works of notable composers like Johann Friedrich Peter and David Moritz Michael. Moravian music continues to be celebrated for its historical significance and cultural impact.
