Abstract
Following the reconstruction of the Cistercian Wilhering Abbey in Upper Austria, which was completely destroyed by a fire in 1733, Abbot John Baptist IV Hinterhölzl initiated a comprehensive spiritual renewal of the monastery’s cultural direction. Guided by the late Baroque notion of representation in the sacred arts, elemental changes impacted the development of its music. A considerable number of autographs and copies were purchased, many of which have been preserved intact, or at the very least, their titles. The study provides an overview of the monastery’s music archive from that time-a period that immediately preceded the era of Josephinism.
