Dobroslav Orel, in the context of his work as a teacher in Bratislava in the years 1919–1938, focused attention on questions of the history of musical culture in Slovakia. Issues on which he directed attention included the hymn. His central concern was the gathering and cataloguing of Slovak music sources, including both Catholic and Lutheran hymnbooks and collections. His research, however, contributed principally to Czech hymnology. In his approach to the history of the Czech hymn, he took his departure from the wider concept of “folk spiritual song”, which supposedly had continuity with the pre-Reformation period, and which encompassed not only hymns but also paraphrases in the Czech language of the Latin singing of Gregorian chant, medieval cantos, and even humanist odes. Orel extolled principally the older, pre-baroque sources of the hymn. He attempted to apply a similar approach to the Slovak tradition also, which he thought of as a Czech offshoot; here, however, the period before the 17th century was accounted for only by a very narrow circle of sources.

Among the new melodies from the editions of the Slovak hymnbook Cithara Sanctorum published in 1674 and 1684, apart from melodies carried over (principally German and Czech). There are also 35 anonymous tunes of domestic origin, attested only in Hungarian sources. In terms of musical style, these tunes belong to two strata – the older early baroque and the later with style elements of high baroque. The identification of older tunes is made possible by, among other things, their incidence in the form of four- or five-voice adaptations in German, Hungarian and Slovak manuscript sources. While the edition of 1674, which was prepared by Jeremiáš Lednický, furnishes numerous tunes in both the older and more modern styles, the later edition by Daniel Sinapius Horčička is more conservative in its selection of domestic tunes and presents only melodies from an older layer, which hitherto had not been recorded in printed sources.

The paper summarises the repertoire of hymns for the Feast of the Epiphany in selected printed and manuscript Slovak hymnbooks of the 17th to the 19th centuries. Altogether 27 hymns on the Tree Kings from these sources reflect the various developmental phases of the Christmas hymn in Slovakia: paraphrases of Latin hymns in the language of the people; contra facts on traditional tunes from Czech and Slovak, mainly anonymous, authors of the Renaissance and Baroque; hymns in pastoral style from the late 18th and early 19th centuries; original Church hymns from 19th century hymnbooks.
