This study presents to the professional public a previously-unknown source for the history of Czech Renaissance music, deposited in the Ondřej Horník collection in the Music History Division of the Czech Museum of Music (of the National Museum) in Prague under the designation NM-ČMH XXIX D 139. In 2009 this set of twenty folios was restored and then divided into five unrelated parts, namely: (a) a fragment of a part book from Rakovník, (b) a torso of polyphonic motets with the Psalm texts Chval duše má Hospodina (Praise the Lord, My Soul) and Blahoslavený každý, kdo se bojí Hospodina (Blessed Are Those Who Fear the Lord), (c) the alto part from a motet Slunéčko krásné vzešlo jest (The Beautiful Sun Has Risen), (d) a torso of the alto part from a Christmas motet, and (e) a draft of a request with the textual incipit ‘Benedictus’. The fragments come approximately from the years 1580–1620 and are of Czech origin.

Simon Lomnicky z Budce, an important figure in the Czech Renaissance, authored many works in various genres. A special position among them is held by his occasional songs, which have been unjustly neglected by researchers not only in the field of musicology. These songs represent an important preliminary stage leading to the later genre of cantastoria songs, but with the fundamental difference that Lomnicky, as a compiler of cantionals, worked much more inventively with 'referenced songs' (songs whose tune is borrowed, with the instruction 'to be sung like'); for instance there may be a special relationship between an occasional song and the context of the referenced song. In seeking out and analyzing referenced songs we learn much about period practice, and with a little luck we can also identify tunes of songs that were once widely known but are not preserved in any other source.
