REPERTORIUM TROPORUM BOHEMIAE MEDII AEVI
ed. Hana Vlhová-Wörner

The five volume editorial project Repertorium troporum bohemiae medii aevi introduces the texts and musical editions of mass tropes from Czech sources from the 11th–16th centuries. The tropes are edited along with their native chants; as such, this publication will be of interest to both the academic community, as well as those interested in performance. Many of the texts and melodies in this publication are made accessible for the very first time. The edition contains numerous commentaries, introductory studies and a pictorial appendix.

The third volume of this edition includes 50 tropes to the Sanctus. Older repertory is represented by the collection of chants from the so-called St Vitus Troper from the 12th century, which is one of the most extensive medieval collections of tropes to the Sanctus. The newer repertory from the 14th and 15th centuries includes tropes from Central Europe and Bohemia, some of which reflect in their texts the Utraquists' communion with the Body and Blood of Christ. A considerable number of texts and most of the melodies are presented for the first time in this publication. Both the full chant of the Sanctus and the tropes are edited.

She is the author of numerous publications on church music and Latin liturgical poetry in Bohemia and Central Europe from the 11th to 16th centuries and one of the editors of the Jistebnice Kancionál.
