Information about instruments, musicaliums and musicians in the Carmelite monastery in Trembowla in the 18th century in the preserved archival documentation

Abstract

The discussion of the musical culture of the Carmelites in Trembowla included in this text covers the period from the beginning of the 18 th century, when pastoral activity was reactivated for good after years of famine and plague (1650–1652), and renovations of the church began after the destruction caused during the invasions of Cossacks and Tatars (1649, 1688) and Turkish troops (1672), until the beginning of the 19th century, when the center began to gradually decline due to the transfer of parish services there in 1784.

It seems that the Carmelite church in Trembowla was an important center of musical culture in the city in the 18 th century, to which musicians came from nearby towns.
