Program Notes
Musica Boema was commissioned in 1976 through an American band director named Joel Blahnik for his colleague at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Stanley DeRusha. Blahnik had met Lukáš through a common friend while researching music in Czechoslovakia in 1973, and recognizing Lukáš’s talents, asked the composer to write a work for winds and percussion. Musica Boema is Lukáš’s first work for wind band, and was premiered at the 1978 American Bandmasters Association convention under the direction of DeRusha. It features many Czech folk songs of irregular length and modal tonality.
