Johann Sebastian Bach | Ich habe genug (Schlummert ein)
"Fall asleep, you weary eyes, close softly and pleasantly..." Hana Blažíková sings with true tenderness and humility. Perfect purity and softness of her voice further deepen the majestic atmosphere of the famous cantata written by Bach in 1727. At this time, he worked as a St. Thomas cantor in Leipzig.
This recording was was performed at the St. Wenceslas Music Festival on September 8, 2018 in the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Michálkovice.

- Antonín Reichenauer | Kvartet g moll (Adagio) Collegium Marianum 3:04
Antonín Reichenauer | Quartet G minor (Adagio)
On March 17, 1730, only thirty-six-year-old Antonín Reichenauer, one of the court composers of Count Morzin, died in Jindřichův Hradec. We know so little about the life of this Czech composer...
However, his remarkable work has been preserved not only in Czech but also in foreign archives, and especially in the second half of the 18th century, the great popularity of Reichenauer's works is evidenced in archives of Prague churches.
Enjoy his tender Adagio!

Claudio Monteverdi | Missa In illo tempore | Sanctus
When Claudio Monteverdi applied for the prestigious position of maestro di cappella in Venice, he needed to show the world and his future employers that he mastered not only the emerging early Baroque style, but also the traditional Renaissance vocal counterpoint - prima prattica. He composed a six-voice mass based on Nicolas Gombert's In Illo tempore. The mass was published in 1610 in the same collection as the famous Vespro della Beata Vergine.
Listen to Sanctus from Monteverdi's Missa In illo tempore as it was heard on October 1, 2020 in the Church of Our Lady before Týn in Prague.

On the 4th of March, the members of the Morzin court Kapelle were certainly very busy. It was on this day when their employer Václav Humbert, Count of Morzin, a generous patron and supporter of not only the musical arts, celebrated his birthday!
This Czech nobleman chose the best artists of his time – Santini, Brokoff, Reichenauer, Vivaldi…
František Jiránek, a great composer and violinist from Lomnice nad Popelkou, whom Count Morzin sent to Italy for a three-year study stay, is also among the congratulators on his 346th birthday. Judge how well he was trained!
The final solo and the concluding ritornello of the third movement of the Concerto G major have been reconstructed by the bassoon wizard Sergio Azzolini.
