	Music of the Czech Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music in the Czech Republic has roots both in high culture opera and symphony and in the folk musics of Bohemia and Moravia.
		The traditional music of the Czech Republic has been well-documented as a result of the work of composers like Leoš Janáček, Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, and Bohuslav Martinů, who recorded and utilized national sounds in their compositions.
		Following the Communist takeover in 1948, Czech music was state-supported and sanitized into paeans of devotion to the ideals of socialism and the government.
