The Migration of Seventeenth-Century Music Repertoire to the Cathedral of Hvar in Dalmatia

Most of Croatian towns and villages are missing the archival sources which could demonstrate the quality and the quantity of music repertory in the first half of the 17th century. However, a manuscript kept in the Archives of the Cathedral in the town of Hvar (on the island of Hvar) contains a list of books and music material owned by the Cathedral Chapter back in 1646/47, which could serve as strong and very rare evidence on music practice in the 17th century Hvar, and generally in Dalmatia. Although lost nowadays, recorded music titles, listed in eight different sections, are witnessing the presence of contemporary Italian (mostly Venetian early- baroque) music literature once in the town. Each section of music inventory is discussed in this article, with addition of tables showing its content regarding composers, years and publishers of first editions, and music genres.
