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.

Traditional songs and carols for the feast of the Epiphany (Three Magi) were sung during ritual processions with carol-singing as a part of folk games, and also independently as a song with a wish. The Slovak repertoire from the oral tradition includes two different song types, which were associated exclusively with this feast and they are widespread in most of the regions of Slovakia. In the text component, apart from individual sequences of the Three Magi story, there are also contaminations from further layers of the Christmas repertoire (secular carols and pastoral songs). The tunes have stylistic features which mark them out from the historical layers of traditional Slovak music culture. They are indicative of connections with an analogous repertoire from other regions of Central Europe on the one hand and on the other hand with the repertoire from hymn books as a part of the written tradition.
