The finale of one orchestral work by this composer opens with three flutes playing a soft blockchordal melody in E-flat minor, which is responded to by string sextuplets in octaves.
The finale of one orchestral work by this composer opens with three flutes playing a soft blockchordal melody in E-flat minor, which is responded to by string sextuplets in octaves. The first movement of that work by him opens with tenor tubas playing open fifths before bass trumpets and timpani have a pentatonic dialogue with nine trumpets playing in unison. A "Postludium" for solo organ and an orchestral "Intrada" are the closing movements of a religious work by him that features a central Credo titled (*) "Veruju". Solos for the viola in this composer's Second String Quartet represent the woman for whom he held an obsessive unrequited passion for his final eleven years: Kamila Stosslova. He wrote a mass in Old Church Slavonic and wrote a work inspired by military fanfares for the Sokol Gymnastic Festival. For 10 points, name this Czech composer of the Glagolitic Mass, the "Intimate Letters" String Quartet, and a Sinfonietta.
