- Summary:
- "Beglückte Verbündtnuss des Adels mit der Tugend (The happy union of nobility with virtue) is a Sittenspiel (moral or morality play) with music. The work, preserved anonymously in a single manuscript source at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Mus. Hs. 18493), was performed in August 1688 at the Augustinian convent of St. Laurenz in Vienna by the convent-school girls. Beglückte Verbundtnüss draws inspiration from court entertainments, Jesuit school drama, and pastoral traditions, and its attractive music is perfectly suited to the skills of young performers and the limited resources of the convent. Besides illuminating the musical life and educational practices one of the imperial capital's most prominent educational institutions for girls in the early modern era, the work provides a fascinating view of Vienna's unique and complex blend of politics, religion, and social mores." -- Page ix.
