12 Two case studies - discussing musical life in two of the most important hanseatic towns - will be presented as an illustration of both sides of this complex, but fascinating story. The town of Lübeck will be the first focal point of this lecture, with an emphasis on the history of the Abendmusiken - where the economical entity ‘Hanze’ and the cultural entity ‘music’ seem to relate to each other in a most direct way. A second point of special interest is Hamburg, where the evolutions within the history of the ‘Ratsmusikanten’ show significant parallels and connections with hanseatic history. As such, this paper hopes to provide a general outline of the central topic of this conference and the Laus Polyphoniaefestival, as well as a more detailed and concrete view provided by the examples of Lübeck and Hamburg. AGNIESZKA LESZCZYŃSKA University of Warsaw, PL From Kampen via Königsberg to Gdańsk: the life of Johannes Wanning Johannes Wanning spent all of his life in hanseatic cities. Born in Kampen in 1537 and probably educated there, he left the Low Countries as a young man, maybe for economic reasons. In 1560 he went to Königsberg and became employed as a singer in the chapel of Prince Albrecht. His first compositions were written there. In 1569 Wanning became a chori musici magister at the Marienkirche in Gdańsk and stayed there till his death in 1603. He was receiving wages from the City Council. Its role in supporting musicians, not only those active in Gdańsk, was very important. Wanning was compelled to adapt directives of the councillors but he knew how to force his artistic ideas. His high rank in the life of the city was testified by the fact that he was a member of the elite Reinholdsbank in the Artushof. Almost all his works - more than 100 compositions (motets, masses, occasional pieces) - originated in Gdańsk. Some of them were dedicated to the local burghers. Motet collections by Wanning were printed in Nürnberg, Dresden and Venice and probably the
13 editions were sponsored by the rich patriciate. Manuscripts of his other works were preserved in church collections of hanseatic cities - Gdańsk, Elbląg and Lübeck. DIRK SNELLINGS Ensemble Capilla Flamenca, BE Musicalia Gedanenses - Juvons beau jeu: dining with Music in Gdansk, c. 1550 The Library of the Biblioteki Polskiej Akademii Nauk in Gdansk possesses a unique collection of 35 music manuscripts and prints dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. They contain over one thousand pieces of music. This magnificent collection was studied in the beginning of the Twentieth Century by Otto Günther, who published his Katalogus der Handschriften der Danziger Bibliothek in 1911. In 1990 a new version of this catalogue appeared, which contains the incipits of all compositions and a list of the manuscripts that went missing since 1911. This paper will discuss the structural and formal aspects of Ms. 4003 (olim Mus. q. 20) Gdansk, Biblioteki Polskiej Akademii Nauk), and offers an overview of its musical contents. Furthermore, this source will be discussed within its historical perspective through a detailed study of its provenance. Using this as a starting point, a comparison with other handwritten or printed music books with similar features will be made, to shed light on private/civic musical practice within the circles of wealthy citizens/merchants in hanseatic towns of Renaissance Europe.
