	Jan Dismas Zelenka - Wikipedia
		In seinen Instrumentalkompositionen trifft Zelenka wie seine berühmten Nachfolger Bedřich Smetana und Antonín Dvořák den typischen "Volkston".
		Die kammermusikalischen Werke Zelenkas sind in der Instrumentierung unspezifisch, wie auch beim Spätwerk von Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), der in seiner Leipziger Zeit ebenfalls für den Dresdner Hof tätig war.
		Zelenka verdankt seine Wiederentdeckung in Tschechien besonders dem Musikwissenschaftler und Flötisten Milan Munclinger.

		Born in Loudovice, Bohemia in 1679 and son of an organist, Jan Dismas Zelenka was educated at the Prague Jesuit College, with which he continued to remain in contact.
		Zelenka's choral works are difficult to place in time; in his eclectic mix of drama, counterpoint and depth of feeling one could almost be listening to a Schubert Mass.
		Zelenka died in Dresden on December 23rd, 1745.

		Jan Lukás was the eldest of the eight children born of Maria Magdalena (née Hájek)and Jiri Zelenka.
		Zelenka must have stood out from his contemporaries as he was accepted, possibly on Count Hartig's recommendation, to the Dresden Hofkapelle (court orchestra) as a double bass player with a salary of 300 thalers.
		Although Zelenka is mentioned as one of a quartet of Dresden court musicians who were to be sent to Venice to attend to the Electoral Prince Friedrich August and unconfirmed reports from the nineteenth century suggest he received instruction from Antonio Lotti during this visit it is not clear whether he actually reached Italy.

		Zelenka used the full range of the 2/3-keyed oboe of the early 18th-century as given by the majority of contemporary fingering charts: viz.
		Zelenka followed the general rules for marking accidentals used by 18th-century composers: an accidental affects only the note to which it is prefixed (except in the case of repeated notes and octaves); a sharp is contradicted by a flat sign (except in the case of B and E where a natural is used).
		Zelenka was of the habit of writing two bars between the pre-ruled barlines of the score to save space in movements where there were few notes per bar.

		This recording presents four representative sacred works by Jan Dismas Zelenka from the period of about 1727 to 1733 which Friedrich Rochlitz(a Leipzig Musicologist)held in high exteem for the 'admirable idiosyncrasy' of the harmonic language and 'ornately entwined' voices.
		The instrumental elements are mixed with passages of extended semi-recitative for the alto soloist and interpolations from the chorus.
		It is unlikely that Zelenka will have a popular piece that endears him to the public at large--Bach has his keyboard music and tocatta and fugue in D minor, Handel has his Fireworks and Water Music, and Vivaldi has his Four Seasons.

	Zelenka
		Most musicologists dealing with music of this period agree that the compositions of this long-forgotten musical giant approach or equal those of his contemporaries Bach, Händel, Vivaldi and Telemann in their advanced use of counterpoint, their extreme demands on the players and singers, their ingenuity and resourcefulness, and their overall beauty.
		Zelenka wrote instrumental music (including orchestral suites and chamber sonatas), a great amount of church music of various kinds, and also religious music for the "stage".
		During Zelenka's final years, much of his music was inspired by Italian opera, which became fashionable in Dresden about fifteen years before he died.

	Jan Dismas Zelenka - Instrumental Music - CD
		If you are familiar with baroque music and haven't heard any Zelenka, you're in for something of a surprise.
		Forget the familiar territory of Vivaldi, Bach and Handel - Zelenka produces music in his own format (groupings of movements) and his own unique musical phrases, with frequent surprising twists of harmony which catch the listener unawares yet always seem to please.
		Zelenka, born in Bohemia and Jesuit-educated, was in an admirable position to take charge of the Catholic church's musical requirement in Dresden, for which he would eventually provide some 150 sacred compositions.

	Jan Dismas Zelenka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1735 Zelenka was given the title of church music composer.
		He was in good company, as J.S. Bach had also applied for this title and shared it with Zelenka.
		Zelenka died in Dresden in 1745, having written works in his final years that were never performed during his lifetime - and some of which have been claimed by the current Zelenka musicologist Kohlhase to have "visionary power".

		For most of his career, the Czech baroque composer J.D. Zelenka acted as a substitute for the court conductors J. Heinichen and later J.A. Hasse in one of the most significant musical centres of the first half of the eighteenth century - Dresden.
		Its influence, enriched by remarkable melodic and harmonic overtures, is reflected in his Baroque style, which considerably expanded the tonal concepts of the time.

		He was born in 1679 in Bohemia and later found employment as a double bass player.
		Unfortunately for Zelenka his patron, August the Strong, died and his heir, Prince Friedrich August II, preferred the more modern Italian style, which left Zelenka on the sidelines.
		There are points where there is a resemblance to Bach and others that sound a little like Handel but Zelenka undoubtedly has a voice of his own and The King's Consort do him full justice.

		Hätte es eines letzten Beweises für die herausragende Stellung des Böhmen Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745) unter den Meistern seiner Zeit bedurft, hier ist er: Holliger, Bourgue, Thunemann und Jaccottet sind 25 Jahre nach ihrer ersten Einspielung der sechs um 1721/22 entstandenen Triosonaten mit drei Konsorten noch einmal ins Studio gegangen und haben sich selbst übertroffen.
		In Uwe Schweikerts fundiertem Booklettext ist nicht umsonst die Rede von äußerster kontrapunktischer Virtuosität, von Überraschungen auf Schritt und Tritt, von endlos sich fortspinnenden Liniengeflechten: Kein Zweifel, Zelenka war nicht nur Revolutionär, sondern auch gediegenster Techniker und Musikant.
		Holliger und Gefährten haben damit ihrer Hoffnung, Zelenka zu einer wahren Renaissance zu verhelfen, schönsten Ausdruck verliehen.
