- Summary:
- "The anonymous Beglückte Verbundtnüß des Adels mit der Tugend (The happy union of nobility with virtue) is a Sittenspiel (moral or morality play) with music. The score, preserved in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, was probably presented to members of the imperial family when they attended performances of the entertainment at the Augustinian convent of St. Laurenz in Vienna in August 1688. Beglückte Verbundtnüß was performed by the convent-school girls; its attractive music is suited to the skills of the young performers and the limited resources of the convent. The work illuminates the musical life and educational practices of one of Vienna's most prominent educational institutions for girls in the early modern era and links this city with the widespread use of music and drama in female education in the late seventeenth century." -- Provided by publisher.
