For many years Pavel Stanék (1927) worked for the Czech Radio and the Vitkovák concert band. In the meantime he acquired an international reputation as a prolific composer especially in his creative output for the wind band. In addition, his compositions for band have earned him prizes in several competitions. Melodic inventiveness, formal clarity and an expert understanding for orchestral colors are typical of his easily understandable music.
A new, simple work which appears to be tailored to meet the above assessment is called “Song for Little Jenny”.
