About Jan Simonides Montanus
Jan Simonides Montanus was a Czech composer of the Renaissance era. He was born in Kutná Hora, between 1530 and 1540, and died at the same place, in 1587. He was an Utraquist and a favourite author of the times. His works represent late 16th century Utraquist polyphony. He was a schoolmaster at St. Barbara’s Church. Today 22 of his works are known, but only one them — the composition "Aurea Luce" — has been preserved whole, in Český Krumlov’s song collection.
