Abstract

Cantus Catholici, published in 1655 in Levoca, is the first printed Catholic hymnal in Slovak, used in the liturgy and in the catechesis. The editor was the Jesuit and missionary Benedikt Szolosy SJ. The hymnal contains 294 chants; 227 of them are in the Slovak language, 66 in Latin and one song uses both languages. This hymnal is an important source for the contemporary hymnal. The first goal of this article is to demonstrate a link between Moravian and Slovak musical and liturgical traditions. This link is documented by the sources of the Slovak hymnal. There are two main Moravian sources of the Cantus Catholici: the hymnal of Jan Rozenplut from 1601 and the hymnal of Jiři Hlohovský from 1622. Both hymnals were published in Olomouc. The second objective of this study is to describe the Slovak chants of Cantus Catholici used for the ordinary of the mass. Although the Counsel of Trent confirmed primacy of Latin in the liturgy, the Slovak chants used in the liturgy in the seventeenth century are documented in the Cantus Catholici (1655) and in the Cantionale Rituale (1681).
