PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project Accentus Musicalis has been created at M.A.E.D. – Music Analysis and Exile Documentation Research Centre / University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. It deals with a scientific and artistic cultivation, popularization and authentic interpretation of Early Music (15th-18th century). The project mission is to unite education, scientific and artistic activities of Vienna´s famous Music University with the activities of the following institutions: The Music and Dance Faculty of the University for Music and Performing Arts in Bratislava, the Early Music Ensembles Collegium Musicum Vienna and the Musica aeterna Bratislava. The aim is to develop the knowledge of the authentic interpretation of Early Music.

PROJECT MOTIVATIONS

The educational situation in Vienna and Bratislava has a different background. However the authentic interpretation of Early Music (15th-18th century) is not at the centre of interest in both places. Series of workshops organized within the project are focusing on the development of different techniques of Early Music interpretation. The scientific approach of understanding Early Music is a second important aim of the project. There are reputable international workshop lectors involved in teaching within the workshops.

PROJECT GOALS

In order to rear a new generation of students, musicologist and interpreters coming from the cross-border Slovak-Austrian region that will take care of cultivation, authentic interpretation and popularization of a mutual European cultural heritage concentrated in the Early Music;
to support scientific research on 15th and 18th century music coming from the cross-border regions;
to organize workshops focusing on different interpretative techniques of Early Music;
to give students the chance to perform with specialized ensembles on Early Music;
to let students experience a real recording situation provided by a highly professional music master team.

TARGET GROUPS AND THE PROJECT´S IMPACT ON THE TARGET GROUPS

The project target groups consist of students, musicologists, pedagogues of both universities, conservatories and other specialized music schools as well as all people interested in art and culture. All the target groups have an important influence on preserving, and cultivating the European´s cultural heritage of the 15th – 18th century. The project gives an opportunity to enlarge the knowledge of the interpretation of Early Music as well as to intensify the mutual contacts between students, teachers and other involved parties.

PROJECT´S IMPACT ON THE CROSS-BORDER REGIONS

The project has set up two main goals considering its impacts on the cross-border region:
1. to intensify the scientific and educational cross-border cooperation in the area of Early Music, 2. to develop the knowledge of editorial work with historical music documents.

SYNERGIES

The project tries to bring together all cultural, educational and scientific organizations and institutions in the Slovak-Austrian cross-border region whose mission is cultivation, authentic interpretation and popularization of an important cultural heritage as it is in the case of Early Music:

  • International Society for Music Research
  • Institutions, music ensembles, music festivals and events on Early Music, for instance: Innsbrucker Festwochen der alten Musik, Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk, Resonanzen - Wiener Konzerthaus, Trigonale - Kärnten, Musica Sacra - St. Pölten, des Centre de Musique Baroque Versailles, Holland Festival of Early Music Utrecht, Festival Wiener Klassik, Tage Alter Musik Sopron, Medzinárodné hudobné slávnosti Praha, Bach Tage Berlin, Barockfest Münster, Swedish Baroque Festival, Bratislavské hudobné slávnosti, Akadémia starej hudby Masarykovej univerzity v Brne, Musica Florea Praha, Czech Ensemble Baroque, Centrum starej hudby v Bratislave, Festival Dni starej hudby v Bratislave.
SUSTAINABILITY OF CROSS-BORDER STRUCTURES,
RELATIONSHIPS AND ACTIVITIES

A long term mutual cooperation will be provided thanks to the two years project´s cooperation between the Vienna and Bratislava music universities as well as the cooperation of the two specialized Early Music Ensembles Musica aeterna Bratislava and Collegium musicum Vienna and other involved parties. Two years of project cooperation will intensify and deepen the mutual contacts between musicologists, teachers, students and interpreters from cross-border regions but not only in the area of Early Music but in the area of music art in general.

MUTUAL USE OF PROJECT RESULTS AFTER THE PROJECT´S FINALIZATION

The following non-profit products will be issued in the time of project realization: CDs and DVDs from the workshops, two symposium text-books, two critical editions and one scientific publication. These products will not serve only as an evidence of the project realizations but will help in the professional career to all students, interprets, scientists involved.
