Ostrach song manuscript
The Ostrach song manuscript is a song book with art songs , probably created by the Salem Cistercian Father Theobald Vogler around 1740 , which was found around 1900 in a farmhouse in the Ostrach district of Bachhaupten in Upper Swabia . It was handed over to the Royal Library, today's Württemberg State Library , in Stuttgart in 1906 , where it has since been kept under the signature Cod. Mus. II qt. and oct. 5 is kept. The lyrics - some in dialect - reveal on the one hand the Upper Swabian and on the other hand the baroque preference for plump and hearty. Raising children, living in a monastery, marital disputes, drinking, fashion, morals - all of this is portrayed in a satirical and blunt manner in the manner of a baroque “songwriter”. For the listener, this provides a living document of the conditions at that time, which are not that far removed from today's.
The collection has similarities with the song manuscript "Augsburger Tafelkonfekt" by Valentin Rathgeber , published in 1733 .
