Musica Divina
15th Century Music from the Krasiñski Manuscript
(ca 1440)
...Even though the Krasinski manuscript contains relatively late
copies of works by Antonio Zacara da Teramo and Johannes Ciconia,
it is difficult to overestimate its significance for the history
of 15th-century music, and not only in Poland. It is indeed
unique among the musical collections surviving in Central
Europe, in terms of its repertoire, stylistic diversity and
clear references to local culture. On could hardly find in this
territory a composer of the stature of Nicolaus de Radom, who,
unlike Petrus Wilhelmi de Grudencz ( b1392), was not amusician
of regional importance but one aho was in the mainstream of the
development of European polyphony. In this sense, Nicolaus de
Radom and the Krasinski manuscript belong to the real pearls of
Polish culture, conceived of not as a culture of asingle nation
but one that contributed to the overallEutopean heritage.
