Officium gratiarum actionis pro victoria ex Turcis obtenta Retained in the Antiphonaries of the Piotrkowczyk Family (Part I)

Beata Bodzioch



Abstract

At present, three versions of Officium Gratiarum actionis pro victoria ex Turcis obtenta are well known. The first two are anonymous forms (1624, 1624-1628) which can be described as services honouring saint Patrons of Poland. We still do not know anything about their musical arrangements. The third form (1628) was created as an expression of thanks for the victory in the Battle of Chocim (Khotyn, 1621). Its authors (Jan Fox and Sebastian Nuceryn) were undoubtedly familiar with earlier texts, yet none of them reached the final version of the Officium (the mediaeval theatrical form). The melodies composed to fit this version were preserved in the fourth edition of the antiphonary by Andrzej Piotrkowczyk (1645). The Fox-Nuceryn form functioned until 1961.
