The presence of the Jesuits in the artistic culture of the early modern era has been defined as a mission and an accommodation to the “people, times, and places”. Music, considered as a spatial phenomenon, had an important function in this mission, mostly due to its rhetorical qualities. Based on the example of Nysa/Neisse, the author shows how music influenced the social space of the local community and affected their sense of security and identity describing the way space was conquered by music reshaping the town’s microcosm and its neighbourhoods.
