Jan Dismas Zelenka (16 October 1679 – 23 December 1745), was a Czech Baroque composer. His works include three oratorios, 21 masses, and other pieces of music. Zelenka played the violone, the largest and lowest member of the viol family, analogous to the double bass in the violin family of stringed instruments.
Most of Zelenka's compositions were sacred works, including three oratorios, 21 masses, and numerous other pieces of music. Zelenka's orchestral and vocal pieces are often virtuosic and difficult to perform. In particular, his writing for bass instruments is far more demanding than that of other composers of his era.
The "Zelenka movement," which started in the 1960s, is gaining momentum, as witnessed by a number of recent live performances of his works. Zelenka's music is always fresh and creative. His instrumental works often surprise the listener with sudden turns of harmony, and performers are often challenged by the demanding instrumentation. His music undoubtedly rewards further exploration. It would be true to say that his compositional output, both instrumental and sacred, has put a fresh face on baroque music.
