Last Rose from Casanova - Václav Trojan

14. duben 2004

The musical piece Poslední růže od Casanovy (The Last Rose from Casanova) by Václav Trojan has been composed for a symphonic orchestra. Over twenty minutes long suite consists of eight parts. This is one of Trojan's last musical pieces, which was written to the film of the same name directed by Václav Krška.

In the spirit of the topic following the life of an ageing lover employed as a librarian at Duchcov castle, Trojan stylized everything into the rococo color. In addition to this partition, Václav Trojan (student of Vítězslav Novák) also created music for three other films - these were Byl jednou jeden král (Once Upon a Time There Was a King), Srpnová neděle (August Sunday), and Sen noci svatojánské (A Midsummer Night's Dream). It is also important to mention his very successful cooperation with Jiří Trnka in the animated film world.
