The most important composer of Czech Baroque Music is undoubtedly Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745). Browse our sheet music and scores, explore all his marvellous, expressive works, and discover more about this wonderful artist today!
Zelenka trained first in Prague, then in 1710, he moved to Dresden, where he spent his entire artistic life in the service of the royal court as a double bass player, and later as a court composer. Because of the extraordinary quality of his unconventional works, he is often compared to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Zelenka devoted herself primarily to large-scale sacred vocal and instrumental works. Over 250 of his compositions have been preserved to this day, many of which were re-discovered towards the end of the 20th century. The frequent incorporation of chords from other keys is characteristic of his music, he combines archaic compositional techniques, with the most modern means of expression, to create highly expressive works.
