Laburda, Jiří

Jiří Laburda, (* 3. April 1931 in Soběslav) is a composer from the Czech Republic.

He has acquired his love for music from his parents and received elementary musical training in his native town of Sobeslav. His attitude to music in general, and composition, in particular, was also shaped by the Czech composers Karel Haba, Zdenek Hula and the musicologist, Eduard Herzog.

Between 1952 and 1955, Laburda studied at the Pedagogical Faculty of Prague‘s Charles University and later on at the Prague Teacher Training College (1957-1960).

In 1970, he received the title of Doctor of Philosophy, his doctoral thesis being entitled „The Symphonies of D. D. Schostakovitch“. His treatise, Didactic Problems of Modern Textbooks of Harmony, completed in 1973, is now part of his university textbook, Diatonic Harmony, Volumes I-III. Jiří Laburda taught at various teacher-training colleges and institutions in Czech towns until he joined the staff of the Pedagogical Faculty of Charles University in Prague. He is presently on the Conservatory of Music in Prague.

In his early days as composer, Jiří Laburda devoted himself mostly to choral compositions which still assume a pride of place among his works. In composition, he draws on traditional means of expression. Stylistically, he ties on to neo-classicism, in particular. As far as modern techniques of composition are concerned, it is the small aleatoric and dodecaphony which are closest to his temperament.

Over the years, Laburda has composed an impressive number of works out of which more than 200 compositions have appeared in print so far.
