Adam Václav Michna z Otradovic
(Jindřichův Hradec?, 16 October 1600 - Jindřichův Hradec, 2 November 1676)
Bohemian composer and poet. He was descended from the noble and musical family of Michna z Otradovic in Jindřichův Hradec in South Bohemia, bearing the title of Knight. His father was the organist and trumpeter Michael Michna (many of his other relatives were also trumpeters). In the 1620s the literary fraternity in the town was restored by the highest Lord Chancellor of the Kingdom of Bohemia Vilém Slavata and that act, together with the activities of the Jesuit College, founded in 1594, contributed greatly to the development of cultural life in the town. Adam Michna became the first student at the Jesuit College, where he studied in 1611-12 and 1615-17 at the gymnasium. In the 17th and 18th centuries the Order of Jesuits was a great influence on musical life in the Czech lands. Many of Michna's compositions were later printed and published by Prague Jesuits. Little is known about his later life. He became a member of the Literary Society and the organist and choir director in 1633 at the provost church in Jindřichův Hradec. He helped to improve the musical life in the town, was a respected and wealthy citizen of Jindřichův Hradec and also the owner of the tap-room. He was twice married, but no record exists of any children. In 1673 he established a foundation for the education of needy young musicians. He died on 2 November 1676.

This is a huge masterpiece of liturgical music.
Tragic is that even I ,ex student of later renaissance /early baroque, never came across Michna.......And here there is nothing to declare this mass, inferior to the mass in b flat by Bach.
What the hell his goin on then????????We need the internet to woke us up??????Or the "professors" give us what they want us to see, and leave the rest behind, no matter what???????
PS: Thank you Pau NG.

[@Reciclassicat]

Absolutely agree. We are living in a HUGE absurdity on music terms. There are THOUSANDS of composers awaiting yet to be rediscovered. Greetings. 🥂

Es una música bellísima. Es una música celestial, cantada por coros de ángeles.

[@armindodias6308]

Une oeuvre magistrale composée alors que Michna avait 70 ans...un vrai génie...une musique inspirée par Dieu lui même...

[@mariehajkova5746]

Je to dílo mladistvého ducha i když Michnovi v té době tedy bylo 70 let.❤

Una música meravellosa i molt primerenca. Sorprenent.

[@stefanstamenic3640]

Yes, as you wrote: "Michna's music is notable for its colour and its attractive melodic qualities". Similarly - Gillis van Coninxloo - best landscape painter of his time - introduced a new approach to Flemish landscape painting.His up-close landscapes turned forests into the main subject instead of the backdrop by crafting elaborate compositions of trees and fine shades of the leaves on scale ("Forest Landscape" - 1598.). His dense, airless forest scenes influenced and inspired the younger generation.
