Odarum concentus choro fidium - Jan Novák
Five quatrain from the first book of Horatio´s Songs encouraged the emergence of work with the name Odarum concentus choro fidium per orchestra d´archi, thus some harmony of Horatio´s odes for string orchestra. Composer completed this work in 1973.
From the end of the fifties is the decisive trait of Novák´s work the inclination towards Latin poetry. Latin, which Novák spoke fluently and which he also handled intensively as a poet, became the chief source of inspiration for his work.
