Leading chamber choir Accentus are presenting a new audacious project, dedicated to Janacek and the works he composed for children. A colorful, melancholic and deli-cate musical universe.
The Czech composer Leoš Janacek (1854-1928) is best known to the general public for his dramatic works, notably the operas Jenufa, Kata Kabanova, and The Cunning Little Vixen; such or hestral pieces as the Sinfonietta and Taras Bulba also enjoy considerable popularity. However, his unique musical language, infl uenced by his long and pains-taking study of the sonic aspects of speech in many diff erent situations and milieux - what the composer called 'speech-melody' (napevky mluvy) - is also refl ected in other areas of his output that are equally worthy of our admiration. Among his other major sources of inspiration were folksong - the composer's substantial contribution to collecting and pre-serving this heritage is well known - and the Russian culture he so fervently admired. [...] Janacek dedicated himself throughout his life to the composition of vocal works for chorus or soloists, which enabled him to try out numerous combinations of forces, from a cappella choruses though choral works with instrumental accompaniment to cantatas for soloists, chorus, and orchestra.
