Jiří Laburda

Jiří Laburda (born April 3, 1931 in Soběslav ) is a Czech composer .

Life

The love for music was exemplified by his parents and encouraged by his teachers in Soběslav. The composers Karel Hába and Zdeněk Hůla and the musicologist Eduard Herzog , with whom he was a private student , also had a strong influence on his musical development . Between 1952 and 1955 he studied at the Pedagogical Faculty of Charles University in Prague and from 1957 to 1960 at the teachers' college in Prague. In 1970 he earned his doctorate in philosophy with the dissertation The Symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich . In 1973 he completed a book on Diatonic Harmony because he found didactic problems in this area in the existing study books .

He taught at numerous teacher seminars and institutions in Czech cities until he was a member of the teaching faculty of the Charles University. He is currently a faculty member at the Prague Conservatory . In terms of composition, he initially turned to choral music. Stylistically, his works have neoclassical traits.
