The monograph by Ewa Hauptman-Fischer is devoted to the rich musical culture of Silesian Cistercian monasteries – from the province’s founding in 1651 until the dissolution in 1810. Drawing on extensive source material, the author presents the practice of vocal and instrumental music coexisting with Gregorian chant in seven monasteries (Leubus, Heinrichau, Kamenz, Grüssau, Himmelwitz, Rauden, and Trebnitz) and reconstructs the musical life of Cistercian communities. Music was not limited to the liturgy – it also accompanied non-liturgical ceremonies, community events, monastic recreation, and guest visits, becoming an integral element of everyday life in the monasteries. The author reconstructs the repertoire performed in individual abbeys, the composition of vocal and instrumental ensembles, and the instruments used. The book’s appendix includes a glossary of cantors, organists, and choirmasters active in the monasteries studied, significantly expanding our knowledge of the musical community associated with the monasteries. The research yields a fascinating reconstruction of the musical life of the Silesian Cistercians—its organization, performance practice, and repertoire—showing the monasteries not only as centers of spiritual culture but also as important centers of artistic life in Baroque Silesia.
