Heinichen and later J.A. Hasse in one of the most significant musical centres of the first half of the eighteenth century - Dresden. Here Zelenka was confronted with the great blossoming of Italian music. Its influence, enriched by remarkable melodic and harmonic overtures, is reflected in his Baroque style, which considerably expanded the tonal concepts of the time. Because of his open-minded architecture and bound polyphony he is often said to resemble J.S. Bach. Most of his works originated in Dresden.

Jan Dismas Zelenka Dedication Introduction Biography Recordings ... Modern Editions Dedication This webpage is dedicated to Jan Stockigt who has given me considerable help in its creation. Introduction Jan Dismas Zelenka's music exhibits contrapuntal mastery and harmonic inventiveness, qualities that were particularly admired by his contemporaries J.S.Bach and G.P.Telemann. His music which was not widely disseminated during his lifetime due to the protected status that compositions by the Dresden composers held, has in recent years seen a revival of interest, mainly centred upon his vocal compositions, which is surely warranted on the basis of the originality of his language, "the private rhetoric of the heart" which Dr Wolfgang Horn refers to. Biography Jan Dismas Zelenka was born in Lounovice, a small town in central Bohemia, (now Czechoslovakia) south east of Prague, and was baptised on the 16 th Following his early education with his father it is assumed that he studied in Prague at the Clementinum. Zelenka maintained a long association with the Clementinum which possessed a Jesuit college and university and was a renowned centre for music. In 1704 Zelenka wrote the school drama in honour of Count Cernin Via laureata magnis virtutum (now lost). At the Clementinum, church music, school dramas with accompanying music, and Easter oratorios called sepolcra ( after the symbolic grave at which they were played ) were performed. Sepulchrum oratorios were particularly popular in the Bohemian lands and Zelenka's

Jan Dismas Zelenka SUB OLEA PACIS ET PALMA VIRTUTIS slavnostni scenicke provedeni ceske korunovacni opery 17. cervence 2000 Vladislavsky sal, Prazsky hrad Tak jako v roce 1997 zaujal misto mimoradneho hudebniho projektu svetove unikatni a odbornou kritikou vysoce hodnoceny Festival hudby vyjimecnych delek, pripravuje Sprava Prazskeho hradu pro rok 2000 projekt nemene ojedinely, byt zcela z jineho sveta. Je jim provedeni monumentalniho korunovacniho oratoria - opery - melodramatu, vrcholneho dila ceskeho hudebniho baroka, planovane na cervenec 2000 do Vladislavskeho salu Prazskeho hradu. Monumentalni Zelenkovo oratorium bylo urceno pro korunovaci nemeckeho cisare, uherskeho krale a rakouskeho arcivevody Karla VI. za ceskeho krale roku 1723. Jeho provedeni se uskutecnilo v ramci mohutnych korunovacnich oslav v prazskem Klementinu - tam vsak jeho provedeni neni dnes mozne. Proto Sprava Prazskeho hradu pojala zamer toto slavne dilo provest na Prazskem hrade. Zbyva dodat, ze organizacni i financni narocnost celeho projektu zabranovala v minulosti jeho provadeni a nebylo v tuzemsku dokonce ani dosud natoceno na zvukove nosice, coz z pripravovaneho provedeni na Prazskem hrade cini udalost vpravde historickou. Vzhledem k tomu, ze v roce 2000 byl Praze udelen prestizni titul Evropske kulturni metropole se provedeni tohoto korunovacniho oratoria - opery na Prazskem hrade jako naprosto unikatni projekt. V jednani je samozrejme take organizacni spoluucast hl. m. Prahy, spoluporadatelstvi s Ceskou televizi a Ceskym rozhlasem, Francouzskym institutem v Praze a dalsimi spoluporadateli. Slavnostni provedeni se uskutecni jako jedna z nejvyznamnejsich akci Prahy 2000 a soucasne jako zaverecny koncert evropskeho festivalu EUROPAMUSICALE 2000.

Jan Dismas Zelenka, baroque composer: born Lounovice 1679, died Dresden 1745. Q. Why did Zelenka's music disappear into obscurity for 200 years? A. This discussed at length in Janice Stockigt's book . After Zelenka's death, much of his music was "kept under lock and key" by the Dresden court, and the reasons for this are not clear. Telemann is known to have written of ZWV 55 Responsoria ) being guarded jealously "as something very rare". Copies of certain works (which had presumably been given away while Zelenka was alive) were made after his death and ended up in different parts of Germany and Czechoslovakia. There were even a few performances in the 1800s. Perhaps one of the strongest reasons for the obscurity of Zelenka's music was that Catholic liturgical music had no place in a Lutheran society. Q. How many composers of his time did Zelenka actually meet? A. Perhaps it is more relevant to ask which composers he didn't meet! Between 1716 and 1719, he studied under Fux in Vienna and had Quantz as his student. Zelenka would also have met Antonio

Zelenka, Jan Dismas (1679 - 1745) The Bohemian composer Jan Dismas Zelenka played the double bass in the royal orchestra in Dresden, whence he was despatched for study in Italy, eventually returning to spend the rest of his life in the Saxon capital. It was expected that he would succeed Heinichen as court Kapellmeister, but the position went, instead, to Hasse, and Zelenka remained, now as Church Composer, a position of much less importance. He won the admiration of distinguished contemporaries, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, for his use of counterpoint, his harmonic imagination and originality, and made some use of Bohemian folk elements. Orchestral Music Zelenka's orchestral compositions include a set of five Capriccios, among other compositions in the musical idiom of his time. Vocal and Choral Music Much of Zelenka's surviving work is in the form of sacred vocal music, settings of the Mass or of movements from the Mass, of psalms and of canticles.
