Programme notes: The painter of Bohemian life: Josef Lada and the musical village pictures Josef Lada, a master of painting and illustration, captures the rustic life and picturesque atmosphere of Bohemia in his works. His art is a window into a bygone era when rural life pulsed with the rhythm of the seasons and villagers were immortalized in their everyday scenes and festivities. In the middle of this picturesque world, the suite “Bohemian Village Pictures” for wind orchestra, composed by Evzen Zamecnik, was created. This musical tribute to Lada's artwork captures the essence of rural joie de vivre and the charm of Bohemian villages. Let's take a look at some of these images set to music in the suite: 1. Spring (Jaro): In Lada's spring paintings, nature awakens from its hibernation. The rolling hills and flowering fields are populated by cheerful villagers enjoying the mild weather and the renewing energy of the season. Zamecnik's music fills this scene with a lively verve that captures the joy and optimism of spring. 2. The Night Watchman (Ponocny): In Josef Lada's nocturnal paintings, the night watchman walks alone through the dark alleys of the village. His lantern lights the path as he watches vigilantly over the sleeping community. Zamecnik's composition gives this picture a mysterious atmosphere, in which the silence of the night combines with the attention of the watchman. 3. The Brawl at the Inn (Hospodska Rvacka): In this lively scene, the villagers meet at the local inn to bond over good beer and hearty food. But the mood doesn't always remain peaceful, and occasionally a heated argument breaks out between the guests. Zamecnik's music captures the dynamics of this picture, from the initial unrest to the conciliatory resolution. The combination of Josef Lada's visual storytelling and Evzen Zamecnik's musical interpretation creates a fascinating synthesis of painting and music. Both artists have immortalized the beauty and everyday life of Bohemian life with their works and invite us to immerse ourselves in this world and experience its timeless magic.
