The musical collection of the Lubiąż Cistercians, currently kept in the Department of Music Collections of the University Library in Warsaw, contains two autograph scores of Johann Alois Lamb, a Czech composer active in the second half of the 18th century in Vrchlabí. Sources with his works were copied for many ensembles in Bohemia and Silesia, but the two works preserved in the Cistercian collection have remained unknown to scholars studying Lamb’s oeuvre and are not listed in the thematic catalogue of the composer’s works. The autograph scores in question add to the existing body of knowledge of J. A. Lamb’s oeuvre and at the same time are his earliest dated compositions. In the article the author presents hypotheses concerning the early period in the composer’s life. A biography of J. A. Lamb’s based on a thorough analysis of sources and dispersed musical items was published in 2014 by the Czech scholar Jakub Michl. In the light of his research the first few years of Lamb’s activity, before 1776, are unknown. No documents or musical manuscripts have been preserved in his hometown of Vrchlabí. Perhaps the mystery can be solved by four manuscripts signed Johannes Lamb from the collection of the Lubiąż Cistercians. Having analysed these manuscripts as well as sources dealing with the Czech composer’s life (described in J. Michl’s monograph), the present author suggests that J. A. Lamb spent his youth in the Cistercian monastery in Lubiąż, where he received musical and elementary education. The two Masses were probably composed when Lamb was still in Lubiąż. The article contains a discussion of all sources associated with Lamb and kept in the Cistercian collection in Lubiąż.

The collection of Pius Hancke’s works includes numerous pieces written for the harp. Its outstanding repertoire and provenance distinguishes it from other monastic collections. The collection belonged to the monk who developed it during his whole life and carried it with him when changing places he lived in. Last 30 years of his life Pius Hancke spent in Dominican monastery in Nysa. Notes used during the liturgy (masses, litanies) certainly were used there and currently are the only testimony of the music culture of this monastery. Next to liturgical pieces Hancke’s collection includes a number of instrumental pieces for the harp with the accompaniment of other instruments and contrafacta of opera arias. The latter often include arrangements of harp parts, most probably made by Hancke himself. Scriptors’ names relate this collection to the unique manuscript containing Antonio Vivaldi’s Credo.
