CZECH COMPOSER
JIRI LABURDA: BRASS QUINTET No. 2
JIRÍ LABURDA: CZECH COMPOSER, AUTHOR & MUSIC TEACHER
Jiri Laburda, composer from the Czech Republic, born on April 3, 1931, acquired his love for music from his parents and received elementary musical training in his native town of Sobeslav. His attitude to music in general, and composition, in particular, was also shaped by the Czech composers Karel Hába, Zdeněk Hůla and the musicologist Eduard Herzog.
Between 1952 and 1955, Laburda studied at the Pedagogical Faculty of Prague's Charles University and at the Prague Teacher Training College (1957-1960). In 1970, he received the title of Doctor of Philosophy, his doctoral thesis being entitled The Symphonies of D.D.Schostakovitch. His treatise, Didactic Problems of Modern Textbooks of Harmony, completed in 1973, is now part of his university textbook, Diatonic Harmony.
Laburda's works follow along traditional paths with infusions of aleatory and dodecaphonic writing. His vocal and chamber pieces are particularly effective. He generally draws on traditional compositional expression, and stylistically, neo-classicism in particular. At least 60 of Laburda's 467 compositions have been recorded, and he has received numerous domestic and international prizes and awards for his works.
