In 1764, a unique work by the previously unknown composer Jan Anselm Fridrich came into being at the Premonstratensian monastery in Želiv. This oratorio is known as “Musica in Luctu sive piae cosiderationes in amarissimam Christi passionem.” This complicated name translates to “Music in Sorrow, or A Devout Meditation on the Bitter Martyrdom of Christ,” and it has its foundation in the Old Testament. The oratorio, divided into separate numbers, contains recitatives, arias, and choruses, with their instrumental accompaniment mainly being provided by string instruments, alongside trumpets, organs, and two clarinets. *** Special offer *** Here is a special offer for those who want to attend both concerts in Prague: if you buy concert of 4th symphony of A.
