\"\"Tiburtina Ensemble\u2019s subtle female voices have made the Jistebnice kancion\u00e1l, a unique 15th century handwritten hymnal, resound. A number of unanswered questions and mysteries still surround the manuscript. Yet the Supraphon album (SU 4291-2), made by the internationally esteemed Tiburtina Ensemble, lifts the veil of mystery to a certain degree, conveying the sheer beauty of the songs. \u201cHow wonderful my favourite Latin choral pieces sounded in Old Czech!” says Barbora Kab\u00e1tkov\u00e1, Tiburtina Ensemble\u2019s artistic director, who spoke spoke about the release of the recording.<\/p>\n

Have you been to the South Bohemian village of Jistebnice?<\/strong>
\nI have passed through Jistebnice several times. Had I not known the Jistebnice kancion\u00e1l and the story of its discovery, I probably would not even remember the village. But I\u2019m not saying that it isn\u2019t a nice place to live!<\/p>\n

The Jistebnice kancion\u00e1l contains Easter liturgy music \u2013 what is it that makes the hymnal so interesting?<\/strong>
\nAs a whole, the Jistebnice kancion\u00e1l is immensely precious. The bulk of the choral music intended for the most important feasts of the liturgical year it contains is intended for Lent and Easter. The most engrossing pieces for the Paschal Triduum include \u201cpseudo-lamentations\u201d, inspired by Jeremiah\u2019s Lamentations. One of them, an emotional account of the Passion of Christ, is featured on our album.<\/p>\n

Is Old Czech difficult to understand and work with?<\/strong>
\nYes, it is, primarily because \u2013 just like with all archaic languages \u2013 you cannot consult the pronunciation with an authentic, native speaker. Learning the texts wasn\u2019t that bad, as it is quite similar to contemporary Czech, although sometimes this similarity was quite misleading. What\u2019s more, we were not at all sure about some words whose spelling differed in individual pieceswithin the manuscript.<\/p>\n

Do you think that music can work as a time machine, with the Jistebnice kancion\u00e1l and your recording affording us the opportunity to peep into the 15th century?<\/strong>
\nI will gladly leave it upon the listener to judge. It all depends on everyone\u2019s zest and imagination!<\/p>\n

What do you deem to be the greatest revelation of the Jistebnice kancion\u00e1l?<\/strong>
\nI didn\u2019t anticipate finding quite so much beautiful music there. During my musicology studies, I only had a superficial knowledge of the source, and nothing motivated me to examine it more closely. Only the research carried out by Hana W\u00f6rner\u2013Vlhov\u00e1 opened my eyes and spurred me to explore<\/p>\n
