| Added by magataganm, 14 Sep 2013 Jan Nepomuk Škroup (1811 – 1892) was a Czech composer, conductor, and choirmaster. His brother František Škroup was also a successful composer, known today as the composer of the Czech national anthem, "Kde domov můj?" ("Where is my home?"). His father, Dominik Škroup, and other brother, Ignác Škroup, were also composers .Škroup held positions (as Vice-Kapellmeister, then choirmaster, and then 2nd Kapellmeister) in the Estates Theatre in Prague, from 1836 to 1843, and was also affiliated with the theatre from 1874 to 1882. He held various other choirmaster positions, including one at the Prague Cathedral, from 1843. Škroup created the Requium "Musica sacra per populo" ("church's music for the people") in 1855. The "missa pro defunctis" ("Mass for the Dead") is a solemn orchestration of the mass and although originally written for Chorus (SATB) & Organ, I created this arrangement for Concert (Pedal) Harp & String Ensemble (Violins (2), Viola & Cello). | |||
