Info

Zdenek Lukaš (1928-2007) was one of the most important Czech composers of the second half of the 20th century. After several years of educational work he was employed at broadcast in Pilsen from 1953 to 1964.
He got interested in modern composing and experimented in an electroacoustic studio. With time his personal, unique compositional style evolved; it is a synthesis of traditional forms and modern technique.

His oeuvre includes more than 250 compositions, including 6 symphonies, 2 operas, instrumental concertos, chamber music and many vocal works.

In the field of symphonic band music Zdenek Lukaš is particularly famous for his "Sinfonia Brevis". This composition was compulsory piece for the First Division at the World Music Contest (WMC) in Kerkrade in 1997.

Slavonic Gallop · Galop Slave
The "Slavonic Gallop" (Slavia Galopp) by Zdenek Lukás is a wild and energetic piece of music Its vitality is by accurate articulation and a precise differentation of dynamics. Zdenek Lukaš (1928-2007) has already composed over 300 opuses including symphonies, stage music and vocal pieces. He has arrived at a personally-expressive style stemming from the Czech musical thinking and especially folk music but also enriched with carefully selected elements of 20th century music. In the field of wind music, Lukaš has been praised particularly for his monumental „Sinfonia brevis" which had been selected as compulsory composition at the World Festival of Wind Bands (WMC = World Music Contest) at Kerkrade in the Netherlands in 1997.
